Maybe Eddie can be in the NEXT Star Trek movie? He's a big fan of the original series. He almost had a role in a Star Trek movie, but decided to make The Golden Child instead.
All you Eddie Murphy haters will cringe after they give the Riddler role to Dane Cooke. You will wish they gave the role to Chris Tucker after that announcement. Or wishing for the "good old days" of Jim Carrey.
Ok, didn't nolan already come out and say he was going to stay far away from villains already portrayed in film (after the dark knight, natch)? In which case:
Dwayne Johnson as Bane
Seriously, though, anything that brought a quality version of harley quinn or anarky to the screen would be sweet. And I feel like those two could pick up from the ending of DK nicely. I mean, clayface would also be awesome, i think, but it's one that pushes the "yeah this guy could actually exist" limits.
@ScruffytheJanitor: Clayface I is a perfectly workable character. No shapeshifting, no freak accidents that give him special powers...just a guy who's really good with disguises. You know, Hollywood-style disguises, with makeup and toupes and such.
WAIT. I just realized what this movie is. It's Trading Places 2. Alfred and Lucious get together and wonder if you can reduce Batman to crime if you take away his fortune. They find Eddie Murphy outside Wayne Industries pan handling, and then frame Bruce. Eddie Murphy is declared a long lost heir to the Wayne fortune when they manufacture an affair between Thomas Wayne and Amanda Waller. Eventually with the help Shia LaBoof, who was hired as Alfred replacement, Eddie, he, and Mila Jovavitch turn the tables on the Lucious/Alfred team, and hijinxs ensue. /insanity
Let's throw Steve Martin in as King Tutt, Jim Carey as Clay Face, Tom Sizemore as Solomon Grundy and Jeff Dunham as the Toymaster. I mean, it'll HAVE to be great then.
At least we had two good movies. If these rumors prove to be true I'll just treat this one like the Star Wars prequels, the last two Indiana Jones movies and Spiderman 3: declare it anathema and pretend it doesn't exist.
@entertheoctopus:I'm kinda amazed Last Crusade is on the same list as Episodes 1-3 for you. I can never decide if it or Raiders is a superior film... which means if I'm starring at my Indy DVD's I can never decide which one to watch if I'm only going to watch one.
Now, though I'd disagree personally, I'd understand if Temple was on that list, and I certainly can't argue about the new one... but Last Crusade... really?
Are you sure you're not getting it and Temple's release order mixed up...?
@AshExMachina: Good heavens. Last Crusade is one of the most egregious cases of fill-in-the-blank sequelitis ever put on film. There's not a single moment of honest filmmaking in it; everything in it is there because It Worked In Raiders. Even the festering mass that is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is, at least, more honest about itself; it's about as good a movie, but it's not anywhere near as shameful a frame-by-frame clone. Even the pathetic nods to Raiders that Crystal Skull had were outdone and out-embarrassed by the constant elbows to the ribs, the winks and nods, the "Remember this? Remember?" that Last Crusade did. I'm not just talking things like "What's that?" "It's the Ark of the Covenant." "Really?" "Trust me."; there's the We Need Indy On The Outside Of A Big Vehicle scene, the We're Trapped In A Very Dangerous Environment, And Get Out Of It Through A Wall scene, and so on and so forth, all done with even less joie de vivre than even the lowest of Timothy Dalton's Bonds (which would be _License to Kill_, for those watching at home.)
At least _Temple of Doom_ was telling a different story ... not just the same one with different special effects. _Last Crusade_ was a cheat, a wimp-out, a pandering, festering mess of a film, barely made watchable by high production values and skilled actors unfortunately handed the veriest tripe to speak.
I mean, let's face it: Raiders moved our characters across the globe *for valid storytelling reasons*. Indy starts in the Pre Credits Sequence, moves to College, moves to Tibet, moves to Cairo, gets to Tanis, moves to The Island Fortress, film ends. Last Crusade has to *shove* Indy around to get all the set pieces in (We need him in water for The Boat Scene! Okay, we'll have the NEXT bit in Venice!") On the other hand, Last Crusade hauls our heroes hundreds of miles IN A STOLEN MOTORCYCLE AND SIDECAR for the SOLE purpose of a single, two-second CHEAP JOKE ... and then, poof, we're back where we were, storywise. I'm shocked that I didn't walk out of the theatre with whiplash.
@capnrob: Everyone, pay attention now. Here is a perfect example of someone who missed the entire point of the movie. Last Crusade was about the father/son dynamic, which was _NOT_ part of Raiders.
Also, out of that list of Raiders locations, Tanis is the only one that is pretty much mandated by the McGuffin, since that's the last place where it is known to have been. Everything else was a "because we felt like it" location. I mean, it makes sense that Indy would end up at _a_ college, but not any specific one.
@buzzkill007: Not sure if you are joking. I always thought that Clooney was an awesome choice for my mon Bats, but cast in the worst of the franchise's moments.

That's not true. There were the end credits, signifying that the experience was over.

Batman: "Those files are all you'll need to bring him down. But I can't do it this time. It's up to you."
Gordon: "But where can I find him? The man's impossible to track down."
Batman: "Look for a condo made of stone-a."
Man, if only to hear the line in the gravely Batman voice...
