Variety’s Jeff Sneider is reporting that “insiders” say Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s role in The Dark Knight Rises is officially Alberto Falcone, a primary antagonist from the Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Batman stories The Long Halloween and Dark Victory.
Tom Wilkinson played Carmine Falcone, Alberto’s father, in Batman Begins. Alberto Falcone was the top rumored character for Gordon-Levitt to portray following last month’s news that he was close to a role in the film, though speculation ranged from Riddler to Deadshot. Gordon-Levitt was officially confirmed for the film on Friday.

Deadshot might’ve been better. He could always reprise Tommy from Third Rock from the Sun

Thats what I thought and hoped, great news if true. Also, here’s hoping Tom willinson returns as Carmine Falcone, he was great in Batman Begins.

This kid’s facial features resemble somewhat those of the late Heath Ledger. With the makeup on, he could look exactly as the previous Joker did. Google images of both Ledger and Gordon-Levitt and you’ll see what I mean.

I really hope this doesn’t turn into another Spider-Man 3 with too many damn villains.

guy in the street: wow, what an observation. if you have looked at the online posts for the last 2 years, you might have noticed, that we’ve been TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING!!! So, please pull your head out of your arse, smell the air and the coffee, and join our club, after we’ve pummeled you ala begbie in trainspotting. And while you’re at it, grab a urine puck from a urinal and freshen your breath.

Wow, maybe Newsarama should disable their comments section ala’ the Source. It seems nobody, including myself, can stay on topic without bashing what other people have to say.

God dammit people…why is there always someone so quick to doubt the quality of a movie without any hint of storyline or script? Has Nolan let anyone down? Just let it flesh itself out and I’m sure he knows what he’s doing by now.

Funny that Guy in Street says Levitt has a facial similarity to Ledger. Both starred in my favorite Shakespeare adaptation of Taming of the Shrew – 10 Things I Hate about You.
