Holy crap, Batman!

As some of you may know, a new Batman movie is in the works. Obviously, the first one featured Liam Neeson as the villain. The second movie, The Dark Knight, featured an epic - there's no other word for it - portrait of the Joker by the late Heath Ledger.

So you would expect them to go for the best of the best when finding the next Batman villain. An amazing actor, a thespian of seldom seen quality.

Apparently not.

Eddie Murphy will be playing the Riddler.

"Yeah, answer me this, motherfucker. Is that woman a transvestite prostitute and will she be looking for a ride home?"

It's as if they've reasoned that after Ledger's sad death, the Batman movies will only get worse anyway, so fuck it.
