With massive success of The Dark Knight, fans, movie goers and media can not stop speculating the direction of the next Batman film. Who is going to replace Ledger as the Joker? Is Two-Face dead? Did The Dark Knight hint that the Catwoman might appear?(watch again closely) Will Angelia Jolie or Kate Beckinsale play Catwoman? Will Johnny Depp play the Riddler? These are all very good questions, but any source that tells you they have the answers is lying to you.
Everything, and I mean everything is speculation. We probably won't have any truth until all of The Dark Knight hype dies down.
So enjoy the reports while they last, but just remember to take them with a grain of salt.
Here...try this report for now. It should keep film lovers gossiping for awhile at least.
Depp To Play The Riddler?
Johnny Depp is tipped to play Batman villain The Riddler in the next installment of the comic book movie series. After the huge success of The Dark Knight, which has taken $440 million at the worldwide box office, producers are confident they can convince Depp to take on Christian Bale's Batman on the big screen. And, according to the National Enquirer, studio bosses also want Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman on board to play another of the Caped Crusader's arch-foe, the Penguin. The Riddler was played on the small screen in the 1960s by Frank Gorshin and in 1995 movie Batman Forever by Jim Carrey. Hoffman would be stepping into the shoes of TV and movie Penguins Burgess Meredith and Danny DeVito. A source tells the Enquirer, "(Producers) are convinced that the role of the Riddler is perfect for Depp. Johnny's a pro. He'll be able to take direction from director Chris Nolan and still make the character his own. "And what better Penguin is there than Philip Seymour Hoffman."
