Eddie Murphy Is So Not the Riddler in Batman 3

Got some more Batman 3 dish for ya. Inside word is that Eddie Murphy most decidedly is not around for a new role in the next Gotham flick, as has been reported. That's all I'm hearing at this point, but actually kind of liked the creepy-as-hell notion of Eddie playing the Riddler. Apparently, the Batman powers that be thought otherwise, go figure.

Beyond that, we're happy to report that—no surprise here—our Bat source says Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman's "definitely" back for the next installment.

So who should be the Riddler, if that is indeed the villain du jour?
