What if Hip-Hop's elite were re-cast in Batman? This is exactly the question that Billboard Online tackled. Casting a who's who of the best in the genre.  First up is Mr. Shawn Carter, who they cast as Batman, Drake as Robin, Nicki as Catwoman and Em as the Riddler.  Here's a look at their list and the logic behind it.

	Drake	Robin	Up-and-comer, no. 2 to Batman.
	Lil' Wayne	the Joker	Eccentric villain known for his odd sense of humor and technicolor look. Also has quite a grill.
	Kanye West	Two Face	Debonaire villain with half of his handsome face scarred by acid, flips a coin to decide whether to be naughty or nice.
	Nicki Minaj	Catwoman	She may be a villian, but she's known as shapely, smart, seductively-voiced.
	Rick Ross	The Penguin	A "gentleman of crime," this dapper don fancies cane-like umbrellas and snooty cigarette holders.
	Jeezy	Mr. Freeze	Ice-cold snowman of a villian known for battling with Batman with frigid tactics.
