Last September, the actor said that he was told by a Warner Brothers executive that the studio had hoped to get Johnny Depp on board as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin. However, Hoffman later denied the rumour.
Speaking to MTV News about the source of his information, Caine said: "I read it in the newspaper and then I got told off.
"It was in the newspaper in Toronto about The Riddler and all that, and I thought, 'Well, they announced it'. And then I met this reporter who asked me about it, and the sh*t hit the fan."
He added: "I don't have anything. The only thing I know is Christopher Nolan is doing another movie anyway, so it's not going to be soon."
Caine, who plays butler Alfred Pennyworth in the franchise, recently suggested that The Riddler would be the lone enemy of the Caped Crusader in the next instalment.
