Oh. My. God. Apparently the Eddie Murphy stuff is REAL. And the Rachel Weisz has been mentioned a lot too. I am starting to freak out.

I am 95% sure the Eddie Murphey stuff is crap, mainly due to the fact that the same guy who started that story also started the LeBeouf Robin thing.
Best site to confirm this stuff seems to be

They have stated that the LeBeouf and Murphy stuff is crap but the Rachel Weisz is a real possibility.

However IF its true (Thats a really big if) after Heath Ledger as Joker I am willing to trust Nolan in his casting. Seriously I thought Ledger was going to SUCK but damn if he didn't steal that movie.

Either way where did you get your info? Just so I have more sources.

Have you seen this? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article2048300.ece

It's enough that a lot of people on my flist are convinced. And it doesn't mention Shia of doom.

Umm it does mention Shia (4th para)
Execs have also signed up rising Transformers star SHIA LABEOUF, 22, to play Robin.

Thats the article that started it all. But there is so many problems with the article that its hard to take it seriously. The latest official news is basically Chris Nolan and David Goyer are working on a story (Not even a script). That was said by Nolan the day after that article came out.

As I said, I am confident in the no Murphy in batman.

I just laughed at my ability to COMPLETELY BLANK OUT SHIA'S NAME FROM MY MEMORY. I will calm down now and stop worrying. Eddie Murphy is pretty much the second most scary thing ever.
