Joseph Gordon-Levitt cast in the new Batman Movie

Holy Batman News! Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been cast as the Holiday Killer.

Now that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is set to re-team with his "Inception" director Christopher Nolan on "The Dark Knight Rises," the question turns to what role the actor will play. 

Speculation has run rampant regarding the role, with blogs pegging the part as The Riddler or Deadshot, but insiders tell Variety that Gordon-Levitt will be playing Alberto Falcone, the son of Mafia chieftain Carmine Falcone, the character Tom Wilkinson played in "Batman Begins." 

Alberto Falcone, who is also known as The Holiday Killer, would bring Nolan's superhero trilogy full-circle. 

This will be an interesting movie.

Christopher Nolan is looking for One Good Girl and One Bad Girl for Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises

I got some Bat News for you. Christopher Nolan has 2 main female roles to fill in the next Batman movie.
Deadline reports:

Chris Nolan is lining up actresses he'll meet for two female lead roles in The Dark Knight Rises, the third installment of the Batfranchise which Warner Bros has dated release on July 20, 2012. I'm told one of the roles is a love interest for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne, and the other is a villain. The actresses are: Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley. Nolan is keeping the roles under wraps, just the way that he did when he drafted his Inception star Tom Hardy to come aboard to likely play a villain. Deadline broke that story October 13. I'm still not sure what the role is and I believe Hardy took the job without knowing or reading a script that's still being tweaked.

Okay, I'm only feeling Rachel Weisz. I want more choices and more diversity in these women.

The Official Title to the Next Batman movie is...

The Dark Knight Rises

Is Tom Hardy in Batman 3?

I think so. Deadline reports that Hottie Tommy may have a major role in the Caped Crusader movie.

I'm told that Hardy has been set by his Inception director Chris Nolan for a lead role in the next Batman film at Warner Bros. Insiders are keeping the role secret and won't even say if he's up for a villain role, but that seems a reasonable assumption. 

Wow, Chris keeps his actions tight. I will keep y'all posted.
