The Dark Knight Rises Is Getting Kinda Crowded
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in talks to join Chris Nolan’s third Batman flick. “in talks” meaning it’s gonna happen because Nolan wants him for some specific role, and it’s just a matter of contracts. So that’s two actors from Inception that Nolan has brought over to Dark Knight Rises.
?So… what the hell? As you all recall, JGL was rumored to play the Riddler for a long time. Could he be the Riddler this time? Could he play Edward Nygma, so that whoever’s directing the fourth Batman flick (since Nolan says he’s done after Rises) has a ready-made villain? Or could he be Heath Ledger’s replacement as the Joker? Frankly, I find the idea of a Joker cameo pretty likely, and not just because of that comparison pic above. Remember, Scarecrow showed up in The Dark Knight. At any rate, I think we can all agree that casting Joseph Gordon-Levitt as anything other than a supervillain would be a waste, right? (Via Deadline)
