MTV News recently spoke with Michael Caine yesterday at the Toronto film festival. One topic discussed were the rumors that Johnny Depp would be playing the Riddler. Caine replied…

“Johnny Depp is great in anything, but there is no Johnny Depp in this Batman. They tell me in no uncertain terms.”

- Caine also discussed the future of the franchise, which is pretty much the same we’ve been hearing for the last year…

“There is nobody, there’s no script, there’s nothing. It can’t possibly be made before 2011 because Inception [director Chris Nolan's next film] is such a big picture.”
