Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael have all been found, but the cast of Ninja Turtles continues to grow as Danny Woodburn joins the reboot as 'Master Splinter'. He plays the mentor to the four heroes and recently starred in Mirror, Mirror and Watchmen. The live action/CG mashup is set to be released on June 6th, 2014. Michael Bay is producing what promises to be a very different take on the iconic franchise, while Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles) will direct.

So Rorschach shoves him down the toilet in Watchmen and he wakes up in the sewers as a mutated rat.

Ok ill bite. You know what Bay? I don't care anymore. This film is becoming soooo random I want to see it out of sheer comedic curiosity! Lol I nominate Nicolas Cage for Shredder and Michel Cera as Casey XD

I don't have a problem with them casting a dwarf -- I do have a problem with them not casting a JAPANESE dwarf. Now this movie's going to have shallow midget jokes... and a lot of them.
