The only question that remains is who will Gordon-Levitt be playing?<br \/>\nTwo Batman villains have already been announced: Catwoman (played by Anne Hathaway) and the chemically-enhanced muscleman Bane (played by Tom Hardy, who also graced the frames of &#8220;Inception&#8221;). Could Gordon-Levitt be the last part of a bad guy triumvirate? Might we hopefully suggest The Riddler?<br \/>\nRegardless, Nolan has proven he has a knack for casting the right actors to inhabit culturally iconic roles; it&#8217;s hard to imagine anyone else but Heath Ledger as The Joker. So whomever Gordon-Levitt will be, we&#8217;re confident it will be spectacular. Hopefully Nolan and co. will let us in on the secret sooner rather than later.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.totalfilm.com\/news\/joseph-gordon-levitt-will-appear-in-the-dark-knight-rises\">Read the article here at Total Film.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Total Film reports that director Christopher Nolan has tapped the always-riveting Joseph Gordon-Levitt to star in his third and final Batman film, &#8220;The Dark Knight Rises.&#8221; As this is the second time the pair have worked together following last summer&#8217;s mind-trip-blockbuster &#8220;Inception,&#8221; Nolan obviously believes in the young star&#8217;s acting chops.
