"According to Bruce's butler, Depp and Hoffman are in for the sequel!
By Josh Wigler

Speculation in a third "Batman" movie—which is likely several years away—has heated up tremendously given the success of "The Dark Knight." There have been ridiculous rumors ranging from Milo Ventimiglia as Robin to Cher as Catwoman. A great deal of attention has focused on Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Riddler and The Penguin respectively, though Depp himself seems just as puzzled as the rest of us.
So just when you thought that things couldn't get battier, here comes Alfred Pennyworth himself to join in the fun. In an interview with MTV's Splash Page, actor Michael Caine spills the beans on the next movie's villains.
"It's Johnny Depp as The Riddler," says Caine. "And The Penguin is Philip Seymour Hoffman."
"I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, 'Are we going to make another one?'" Caine continues. "They said yeah. I said, 'How the hell are we going to top Heath?' And he says, 'I'll tell you how you top Heath—Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.'"
So either Mr. Caine has a very active imagination, or the good butler just let one of Hollywood's biggest cats out of the bag. Either way, it's safe to say that Bat-fandom's gonna be hopped up worse than those fear-gassed freaks in the Narrows until someone makes things official."
Thoughts? Comments?
I'm stoked.
