Joseph Gordon-Levitt locked for The Dark Knight Rises!

Variety reports:

After weeks of quiet negotiations, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is set to re-team with his "Inception" director Christopher Nolan on "The Dark Knight Rises."

Additionally, indie sensation Juno Temple is being eyed for a supporting role as a street-smart Gotham Girl. Warner Bros. and reps for both thesps declined to comment.

Speculation has run rampant regarding what character Gordon-Levitt will play, though the part is being kept under wraps. Blogs have pegged the part as The Riddler, or more likely, Deadshot, a member of the villainous League of Shadows, but Nolan has elected to keep fans in the dark ... for now.

The Oscar-nominated filmmaker continues to fine-tune the script as the start of production grows closer. He's also serving as a creative consultant on another WB superhero franchise, Zack Snyder's "Superman," which now has Henry Cavill, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane onboard.

"The Dark Knight Rises" is scheduled for release on July 20, 2012.

  1. Gordon-Levitt was quite good in Inception, though I'm wondering if Nolan is packing his sequel with too many characters...

  2. For all future intents and purposes, this is koook160 for the record.

    Anyway, I'm convinced he'll be playing Alberto Falcone. He'd be perfect for the role.
