Joseph Gordon-Levitt in talks for 'Dark Knight Rises' - who should he play? (http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2011/02/joseph-gordon-levitt-in-talks-for-dark-knight-rises---who-should-he-play.html)
I don't know enough about Batman to have the vaguest idea...

(Possibly completely off.)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt rumored to be Alberto Falcone, a.k.a. the Holiday Killer, in 'Dark Knight Rises' (http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2011/02/joseph-gordon-levitt-rumored-to-be-alberto-falcone-aka-the-holiday-killer-in-dark-knight-rises.html)

Seems like the movie's gonna be a takeoff on the Long Halloween storyline:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Long_Halloween
(warning: story spoilers in link)
Which does include Catwoman quite abit (one of the villains suppose to appear in the new film) but not the other villain Bane.
-
If they do a proper adaption of The Long Halloween I will explode. They could replace some of the other villans with Bane, since characters like the Penguin, Solomon Grundy, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, etc don't exist in Nolan's universe (yet or maybe ever).
But still.... I am sooooo excited.

Another update: Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play Alberto Falcone in 'The Dark Knight Rises'? (http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2011/03/joseph-gordon-levitt-to-play-albert-falcone-in-the-dark-knight-rises.html)
Though about the only thing that's different this time around is that "insiders" are telling Variety that JGL will play Alberto Falcone...
-
Golly. This is Batman? Whatever happened to King Tut, Bookworm, or Eggman?
And I don't even think about what they've done with poor dear Mrs. Cooper.

Now the word is that he ISN'T playing Alberto Falcone afterall:

You've gotta love the secrecy surrounding so many movies these days (including the Depp/DS film). I can certainly understand keeping major plot points secret because it's no fun to have everything about a movie ruined beforehand. But frequently productions go way overboard by trying to keep even the slightest little tidbit from getting out. And, of course, that only makes people more determined to find out, which more often than not they do, so all the effort to be so secret about even the little things seems like wasted energy...

I remember back in the day before TDK came out, reading somewhere that [spoiler]Gordon was shot and killed.[/spoiler] It literally ruined my day. I was so upset. I couldn't believe they would do that! Of course, they didn't, much to my relief, but damnit, spoilers are annoying!

This article would seem to have the same misinformation:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt to take a villainous role in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ (http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/124780/20110321/joseph-gordon-levitt-to-take-a-villainous-role-in-the-dark-knight-rises.htm)
But what it does have going for it is that it mentions DS.
-
Wow - I'd say the early reports were WAY off:
Gordon-Levitt, Cotillard join The Dark Knight Rises —
but not as the characters you may think (http://www.tvguide.com/News/Dark-Knight-Rises-Cast-1032039.aspx)

They'll be filming at least part of it here (Pittsburgh) this summer. Although we've had a lot of movies and TV shows done here, particularly in recent years, this is really a biggie and apparently it was quite a coup for them to be doing it here.
