Superherohype.com have posted a UK tabloids has struke again (unsure, which one). One, who shall remain unnamed, is claiming that Eddie Murphy is playing The Riddler in the next Batman movie, that Shia LaBeouf will play Robin and that Rachel Weisz is up for the role of Catwoman. Not only that, but the tabloid says the movie will come out in 2010, and that the movie "will end on a cliffhanger over whether Batman survives a blast at Wayne Towers."

Absolutely none of them are true as yet--Collider had a chance to talk briefly with Alan Horn, the President of Warner Bros, and probably the one man who would know more than anyone else about anything going on with this highly-anticipated project.

Collider.com Landed a brief interview with Horn on the red carpet for the premiere of "Yes Man", we were able to get him about talking the Dark Knight, Superman, Green Lantern, and Justice League. No rumors, no innuendo--just facts directly from the man at the top.

I ask when does he think we might hear rumblings of another "Dark Knight" movie… he says “We’ve been talking to Chris Nolan and what we have to do is get him in the right place and have him tell us what he thinks the notion might be for a great story, but Chris did a great job and we’d love to have him come back and do another one.”

I ask if he’s the type of filmmaker that they wouldn’t rush and that he wouldn’t have to meet a certain release date. Basically, the story is more important than a release date. He says, “Yes. The story is everything and we are very respectful of Chris. We have a wonderful relationship with him and we are going to be respectful of his timing and we want to get it right. Also, I think the fans expect that – they want us to make a terrific movie – we have to give them another great movie.”
