Joseph Gordon Levitts Dark Knight Role Revealed

Interesting news coming from the fan site ComicBookMovie which is reporting via an insider that they know what role Joseph Gordon Levitt is set to play in the upcoming release of The Dark Knight Rises.

We have already laughed at the rumors of him playing Robin and speculated on him playing Night Wing but it seems its a new villain and one that ties back to the first Dark Knight film;

Well he has signed on to the film in a villainous role previously undisclosed until now. Levitt will be portraying Alberto Falcone aka the Holiday Killer.

He is the estranged son of former mob boss Carmine Falcone (portrayed by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins) who returns to Gotham to take over the underworld once fiercly ruled by his father before the arrival of Batman.

What do you think of this choice? In other interesting news the film will be shooting in Bucharest this spring and once again Robin Williams name has come up. A hungarian paper online site is reporting that the whole gang will be in Bucharest filming Dark Knight Rises and Robin Williams is listed as one of those in town to shoot. Not sure what role he will play but perhaps one of you esteemed fan boys can enlighten me in the comments.

“A hungarian paper is reporting that the whole gang will be in Bucharest filming”

Bucharest is in Romania, not in Hungary…

  A Hungarian paper can report about events happening in other countries can’t it? Or is there some sort of rule against that?

  good guess considering alot of folks figured Tom Hardy would play Hugo Strange. With him now playing Bane Robin Williams as Hugo Strange would work. I like Williams he is a talented actor http://www.reelcomix.com/2010/11/tom-hardy-as-hugo-strange-in-the-dark-knight-rises/
  - Nah
    
    Nah, the film sounds like it has enough characters already. Adding Hugo Strange would just over saturate the movie. There is already Catwoman, Bane, now Falconi. Adding anymore would be too much, and we’d have a Spider Man 3 on our hands…

Why would he play Hugo Strange who is as physically fit as Batman.

Ummmm, but the ACTUAL holiday killer in the comic turns out to be harvey dents wife. and harvey dent never had a wife in dark knight. unless they bring back maggie gyllenhals character somehow. to be honest that poster has a question mark, seems more of a chance he’s playing the riddler.

also am i the only one who has noticed the fact that it clearly SAYS “riddler” on the knuckles in that poster, as well as many tattooed question marks?

I laugh at the people above me commenting on the picture
Did anyone notice the titles wrong, and the year is wrong, and the villain is not going to be in the movie? idiots

  Jesus! thats a fan made poster? normally i’d say “why do people waste their time?” but thats pretty good. i retract my statement about the riddler. that being said my holiday killer comment still stands. hope you all have a GREAT day *freeze frame thumbs up*
