Already about a month since its release in theaters, The Dark Knight Rises has enjoyed a lengthy and awesome run in theaters, generating almost a billion dollars in box office returns worldwide and becoming the second highest grossing film of 2012. The final Dark Knight film directed by Christopher Nolan that wraps up his epic trilogy brings Bruce Wayne's journey to a close... But it also leaves a lot of questions in the minds of fans wondering about the future of the Batman franchise. One of the films co-stars, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, was recently interviewed in the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, and while he had to intially keep mum on his role on the film as John Blake, he now sheds to light and gives his thoughts on how things will go after TDKR. SPOILERS of course by clicking on the video interview below via YouTube, so watch at your own risk!

Inception is a masterpiece, that much is and always be certain. Carefully crafted by the guiding hand that brought us Memento, The Prestige, and the Dark Knight trilogy, Christopher Nolan brought a unique film that explored the concept of dream and reality while injecting it with a tale that makes it one of the most memorable movie experiences of all time. With the director's latest offering "The Dark Knight Rises" just around the corner this week, it's literally been two years since his previous film's release on just about the same time frame.
Inception Trailer 2
I look back at the significance of Inception because it still carries a following to this day. Exploring the corners and recesses of the film in a wonderfully woven tale of heist and espionage, the film showcases a tremendous amount of talent and casting lead by Leonardo DiCaprio. The acting is top notch, and there's plenty of excitement along with compelling narrative that's not hard to grasp at all despite the sci-fi concept. Nolan makes it simple enough to understand, and it works to his strengths and the audience's pleasure.
It's also because of Inception that we're going to be seeing stars like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, and Marion Cotillard back and taking on other significant roles in The Dark Knight Rises. I cannot stress how much you need to revisit this film if you're a fan, or if you haven't seen it yet... You Should.
Premiering at this week's episode of The Jimmy Kimmel show, the very first clip from The Dark Knight Rises finally goes online, and features a conversation between Gotham Police Department officer John Blake and Commissioner Gordon (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman, respectively). Christopher Nolan's much anticipated conclusion to the Dark Knight saga premieres in theaters worldwide next week, and sees what happens to Batman eight years after the events of 2008's The Dark Knight. SPOILERS will definitely be present if you don't like watching clips, so view at your own risk. For more details, visit the source post at Bleeding Cool.

What if time-travel existed in the black market and it allowed assassins to do jobs and get rich instantly? That's the basic premise behind the upcoming Tri-Star Pictures science-fiction film called "Looper", starring none other than Inception and The Dark Knight Rises actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Playing a hired gun named Joe who kills people sent by the mob from the future, the young man's life will be sorely tested and changed forever, when his own employees send his own future self (played by Bruce Willis) back for him to kill! It's a science fiction thriller not to be missed!

After months of speculation, second guesses, and wild assumptions of whether or not Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard were going to appear in Christopher Nolan's next Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises", Warner Bros. has finally released an official press, which was also posted in movie news blog sites like Slash Film, that confirms both Inception stars' appearance in the film, once again working together with Nolan as he starts work on the next saga that chronicles Bruce Wayne's one man war against crime.
However, the press release also debunks longstanding rumors that JGL was going to play Alberto Falcone and Marion Cotillard was Talia Al Ghul. Instead, Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City Beat Cop assigned to special duty under the command of Police Commissioner James Gordon (played by Gary Oldman), while Cotillard plays Miranda Tate, a board member of Wayne Enterprises who is eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne (played by Christian Bale) resume his father's philanthropic activities for Gotham City. Filming for the new sequel is expected to begin next month, so adding these two together with fellow Inception star Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, and the rest of the returning Batman cast, and you've got one heck of a Bat-sequel to look forward to.

The Dark Knight Rises will be released on theaters on July 20, 2012!
As reported by movie sites like Screen Rant and following Joseph Gordon-Levitt's addition to the cast of The Dark Knight Rises (though no role has been specified yet), Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan have officially signed in another young talent into the film, in the form of English actress Juno Temple! Like JGL, her role hasn't been specified, but rumors have been fueling around in the interwebz that she may land the part of playing a female sidekick to someone. A lot of hands point to Selina Kyle's (Anne Hathaway) partner and one-time Catwoman replacement in the comics, Holly Robinson!
If you can see where this is leading, then you'd know I'm all in favor of that role landing in Ms. Temple's lap. It's realistic and it makes more sense that Holly will be in the film, seeing as she appeared for the first time working as a prostitue alongside Selina in Batman: Year One, and Nolan draws heavy inspiration from that source material as well as other classic Bat-books. So if Juno Temple plays Holly, I'm going to be very interested in seeing how she helps Hathaway's Selina Kyle in the path to becoming the feline rogue/ adversary/ love interest of Christian Bale's Batman/ Bruce Wayne. We'll just have to wait and see for official confirmation, so for additional reading, you can visit the source post over at Screen Rant!
The Dark Knight Rises strikes out in theaters this July 20, 2012!
Confusing as it may sound, it seems that the rumor/ news that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Alberto Falcone in The Dark Knight Rises may not hold up some water due to some conflicting reports. On one hand, you got Variety reporting that he is playing the son of Carmine Falcone, and on the other you got Entertainment Weekly debunking that report and saying that JGL will be in the movie, but not as Falcone. As movie blog news site Slash Film points out, both sources are reliable, and the reports could be different information leaking out to confuse different parties about what exactly is the scoop on TDKR, whom director Christopher Nolan and his team keep under a strict veil of secrecy. In any case, what IS confirmed is tha JGL is in the film. It just can't be confirmed at this point what role he'll be officially playing... yet. For more info on the story, visit Slash Film, EW, and Variety.
The Dark Knight Rises will premiere in theaters on July 20, 2012.
This has been long rumored and speculated about before, but according to a report from Variety and followed up by a post in Newsarama, it can now be officially confirmed that actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt will appear in Christopher Nolan's next bat-flick The Dark Knight Rises; playing the part of Alberto Falcone, son of Carmine Falcone (played by veteran actor Tom Wilkinson and last seen in Batman Begins) and heir of the leader of the Falcone Crime Family. With the news official since last Friday, JGL reunites with Nolan, who directed him in Inception, and his fellow co-star in the film Tom Hardy, who will play Bane in the new Batman movie. I did state in my previous post a month before that this role was tailor-made to fit for JGL, who has the build and look to fit the role of Alberto, who was also known as The Holiday Killer in the pages of Batman: The Long Halloween. Nolan has a knack of drawing inspiration from classic Batman stories and creating script that's just A-list material in his bat-films, not to mention his choice of top class actors that only reassures us fans that we'll be getting a great product come 2012! For more information on the casting news, visit Variety and Newsarama!
The Dark Knight Rises premieres on theaters worldwide come July 20, 2012!
This definitely needs to happen, and I do hope this is true!
Take this with a grain of salt for now, but based on a rumor that started over at Comic Book Movie and was eventually reported in Slash Film, it appears that Joseph Gordon-Levitt may have landed a role in Christopher Nolan's next Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises... and it may be a substantial one at that! According to the news, he may take on the role of Alberto Falcone, the son of mob boss Carmine Falcone, the leader of the Falcone Crime Family who was last seen in Batman Begins and played by veteran actor Tom Wilkinson. Anyone who knows their Batman stories knows that this would make perfect sense and is definitely the role that would make JGL's place in the Nolan Batverse perfect, since Alberto plays a major role in the classic comic book storyline Batman: The Long Halloween, which Christopher Nolan takes great inspiration from for his Batman movies. The fact of the matter is that JGL has the build and look to play this role, and if proven true, it will jive well with the serious tone Nolan has placed in his Batman movies so far. Not only that, it will make sense why Anne Hathaway was cast as Selina Kyle/ Catwoman. Her character has "personal business" and ties to the entire Falcone family, so it will pay tribute to the Jeph Loeb/ Tim Sale Batman and Catwoman stories in a big way. Take note, this is still a RUMOR, so there's no confirmation yet... but we'll probably know the real deal as the months trickle down to the film's shooting date!

The Dark Knight Rises will show in theaters worldwide on July 20, 2012!
Deadline as well as Newsarama have reported that actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt is close to sealing a deal and re-team with his Inception director Christopher Nolan in The Dark Knight Rises. The actor who played Leonardo DiCaprio's"Point Man" Arthur in the 2010 dream-bending action film is in talks with Nolan to play a part in the third Batman movie, but his role is still unspecified as of this point. Months ago, he was rumored to be The Riddler, as well as a potential replacement for the late Heath Ledger's role as The Joker from The Dark Knight. All of those whispers proved false however, but now it can be confirmed that JGL may be cast in Nolan's new Bat-flick. We'll just have to wait and see how this goes, but it will also reunite the actor with Tom Hardy, who also co-starred in Inception as Eames and will be playing Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.

The Dark Knight Rises continues to fight crime in theaters on July 20, 2012!
Going on its third week, Inception is still an amazing beast on cinemas. Still the talk of the town and full of the kind of energy and excitement one finds in Christopher Nolan films, you can also owe the film's success up to the amazing talent and cast who portray their parts in this movie so well. Next to Leonardo DiCaprio's amazing performance as Dom Cobb, the other guy who impressed me so much in this flick is none other than Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Arthur, the partner and Point Man in Cobb's team. Cehck out this interview he has during David Letterman:
JGL Inception Interview on David Letterman
Having also starred in other recent blockbusters like G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra and (500) Days Of Summer, JGL is one of those young acting guys who got their big start as kids with TV Commercials and shows. Later on, his career bloomed when he appeared as the lead in Disney's Angels In The Outfield, and acting as the character Tommy Solomon from the classic sitcom series 3rd Rock From The Sun, a part that he is still known for today. He quit acting for a short while, but he came back and started acting in independent movies like The Lookout, which was another film I enjoyed. Today, Mr. Gordon-Levitt has cemented himself as one of Hollywood's biggest rising stars in the industry, and if you've seen 500 Days and Inception, you'll know why I'm a big fan of the actor. Recently though, it has come to my attention that JGL is, surprisingly, a Street Fighter fan! He revealed this little factoid during an interview in the Jimmy Fallon show, and how he tells the tale made me realize how much respect I have for this guy alone. Go and check out the segment below:
JGL Interview On Jimmy Fallon
Man, this guy is cool and awesome. Can't wait to see what's next JGL, and hopefully, you'll be The Riddler in the next Nolan Bat flick!
Rumors are swirling abound as to what the next direction Christopher Nolan's 3rd Batman film will take? Will it have something to do with a riddle perhaps?
Enewsi just posted two interesting news bits that involve Warner Bros. and their "rumored" plans for the sequel to The Dark Knight. One goes with a domain purchase of "wheresbrucewayne.com", indicating plans are afoot to create another big viral marketing campaign to promote the movie like the previous film. The second rumor involves the villain to be for Batman 3, and hints strongly suggest that Edward Nygma will take on Bruce Wayne's alter ego, assuming his iconic and unstable persona as The Riddler. Having just starred in Chris Nolan's mind boggling sci-fi action flick Inception, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt is rumored to be on the top of the list to play The Riddler. Right now, these repots are all unconfirmed and speculations at best. Let's pray some official news comes for the new bat-flick soon, hopefully even a tease at this week's San Diego Comic-Con!
That tagline echoed deep within the recesses of my own head whenever I thought of Inception – Christopher Nolan’s next film project after his epic Batman movie sequel that was “The Dark Knight”. In all fairness, I’ll be the first to admit that the ideas that the British director presents to the Hollywood table sound totally wild and daring, but he has a certain kind of air about him that makes you, the viewer, believe that he can make the impossible possible, and since my introduction to his directing style and work with the film “Memento”, I’ve been a big Chris Nolan believer and fan through and through. My faith in the man only increased when he was commissioned by Warner Bros. to do the Batman reboot, and we all know how that turned out. Pretty much the rest was history after his stint there, and Chris has been on a role lately. With Inception officially launching in theaters by the end of this week, there’s no doubt in my mind people are going to be talking about this movie left and right. How do I know this? I’ve seen it of course!
Movie: Inception
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine
Directed By: Christopher Nolan
That’s right. Last night, in the midst of a wild and unpredictable storm, I traveled all the way to my local IMAX theater to catch the hotly anticipated premiere of Inception. It was truly a privilege and an exciting experience to be among the first to get the opportunity to see Chris Nolan’s latest flick, and as I mentioned earlier, you will not be disappointed once you see this in conventional theaters in a few days time as of this posting. This will be a none spoiler review, and I’ll just be talking in a general manner about what you can expect about this film… a film I and many of my peers consider to be a top contender for an Academy Award nomination in the next Oscars.
Enewsi has just put up a post that Batman fans may find quite interesting. It appears that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is now one of the frontrunners to play the part of Edward Nygma, better known as the mind-boggling Bat-villain called The Riddler, in Christopher Nolan's next Bat-sequel following The Dark Knight! There's nothing confirmed yet, but this report isn't much of a surprise, since Gordon-Levitt is also starring in Nolan's newest flick this year, Inception!
Last played by comedian Jim Carrey in the 1995 Joel Schumacher directed Batman Forever, the character is obsessed with riddles and puzzle games, which lead to him jumpstarting a criminal career that is constantly thwarted by The Dark Knight and his allies. Being one of my favorite Batman villains, I'd really like to see Gordon-Levitt play the role, and he has what it takes, considering his performances as The Doctor/ Cobra Commander in G.I.Joe: The Rise Of Cobra and (500) Days Of Summer. He was also rumored to be one of the likely choices for David Webb's Spider-Man reboot, but I'd rather like to see this actor play out the role of Mr. Nygma instead!
