Batman Cast Release: We can only hope it's another tease

So They released a possible cast for the new batman movie. Sources are looking pretty solid. While some of the stars seem exciting, I have to express some disappointment. Being the nerd that I am, I have the riddler obviously listed as my number one favorite villain of all time!! So, of course I hoped for nothing but the perfect cast. Johnny Depp was at one point speculated, and I was all about it. But who has been signed? Eddie Murphy..... anyone? anyone?
Shia is rumored to be Robin, and Rachel Weisz is said to be playing catwoman. What do you guys think??

Gotham villain ... Eddie Murphy

The surprise move follows speculation linking Pirates of the Caribbean star JOHNNY DEPP to the part.

The film, set for a 2010 release, is being developed under the working title Gotham.

Execs have also signed up rising Transformers star SHIA LABEOUF, 22, to play Robin.

CHRISTIAN BALE will return as Bruce Wayne, while MICHAEL CAINE will again play Bruce’s assistant Alfred.

Meanwhile, Brit RACHEL WEISZ is said to be up for the Catwoman role.

Insiders also revealed to The Sun the flick will end on a cliffhanger over whether Batman survives a blast at Wayne Towers.

Nolan had been tight-lipped about the future of the Batman films after being rocked by the January death of HEATH LEDGER — tipped to receive a posthumous Oscar for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.

A film insider said: “Chris wasn’t sure if he wanted to do another movie but as soon as he decided to, he got the wheels in motion.

“Eddie’s a fantastic addition. Everyone’s excited to see what he does as the Riddler.”
