Just this weekend, it was reported by various sources that Joseph Gordon Levitt is, in fact, going to be in the next “Batman” film, “The Dark Knight Rises.” In those various reports, it was stated that he was going to play Alberto Falcone, a.k.a. “The Holiday Killer”. However, that bit of news is false.

Contrary to popular belief, Entertainment Weekly has uncovered that while Gordon Levitt will be in the movie, he will not be playing The Holiday Killer. In fact, his role in the film is still unknown. So, for those of you still hoping for JGL as The Riddler, your hopes are still alive!

Gordon Levitt has become one of Christopher Nolan’s key film players, having starred in the highly successful film, “Inception”. Gordon Levitt isn’t the only “Inception” star who’s coming to Gotham City; Tom Hardy will be playing Bane and Marion Cotillard has been cast, her role not yet known.

The film, also starring Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Michael Caine as Afred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, and, of course, Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne, “The Dark Knight Rises” will be out in theaters July 20, 2012.
