"a new rumer has come about now of eddy murphy playing the riddler in the new film simply called "gotham" here is a link to a artical in the british news paper the sun talking about the matter so whats youre opinion on it mine is that it could be done really well or really badly"
That's the article that I had seen, and given that the dood's predictions are usually spot on, it's not too far-fetched of an idea. Also, let's remember that Eddie Murphy IS an Oscar-nominated actor. While I know that everyone and their mom likes the idea of The Riddler being played by Johnny Depp (well, besides me, I fucking loathe the guy), we also have to look at Aaron Eckhart's recent comments about Harvey Dent and Two-Face while walking the red carpet at the Golden Globes. It looks like Two-Face could be showing back up in the next film, and personally, I would LOVE for that to happen. Also, there's rumor that The Joker could be returning with someone else playing the role, based on an interview that was also done at the Golden Globes with one of the producers (I believe he was a producer, don't quote me on that). However, right after The Dark Knight hit, Michael Caine was saying that Riddler and Penguin were in, but those were shot down.
Frankly, there are a fuck ton of rumors, with nothing confirmed. Therefore, people need to be satisfied with what they have at the moment. Nolan will probably do another movie before he does Batman, as he did with Batman Begins and then The Prestige. Give the people some room, for fuck's sake.
Personally, I would like to see an honest take on Mr. Freeze. I know it's going a bit outside of the reality-based setting that Nolan is going for, but Mr. Freeze is a very tragic villain. All the crime that he committed, the whole reason he got started in it all, was to save his wife. It's a story that can tug on heartstrings as well as present some moral conflict with Bruce Wayne/Batman. How do you fight a villain that is doing it out of love, all the while falling into some form of madness? It would be an incredible story, and it would allow for Nolan to try spanning into a bit more fantasy than he has done so far.
