Deadline is reporting that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in talks to re-team with director Christopher Nolan for The Dark Knight Rises. It is currently unclear what role he could be playing in the film. Could there be a third villain? Is there room for a non-villain character that deserves the casting of JGL? Nolan has already brought aboard JGL's Inception co-star Tom Hardy for the role of Bane, and Anne Hathaway has got the Selina Kyle/Catwoman thing down. Perhaps the Hugo Strange rumors were true? There was that Robin Williams as Strange rumor that popped up a few days ago after all. What do you think?

Well, they would need a new DA with Dent gone, or a young genius federal agent sent in to track the Batman. There are plenty of roles for a non-villain. They may not be all that large in part, but he may just take the pay cut to do a small role so he can say he was in the trilogy. Like Billy Dee Williams did for Star Wars. (that was supposed to be a joke. I just wanted to mention Lando, who was screwed from playing two-face.)

Yeah. If they're really going to use Hugo Strange, I'd prefer Robin Williams, just because he looks more like Hugo Strange. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a good actor though, and there are probably any number of roles in the movie that he could play that I'm sure he would be good as.

He looks so much like Heath, they should just train him to be The Joker lol.

New rumor:
It seems that Christopher Nolan wants to get a jump start on aerial shots for The Dark Knight Rises. A source close to BOF had this to say:
"They are doing a plate shot in a helicopter over New York City this week. Apparently, Chris Nolan wants to get the city with snow on the ground."
I live about two hours outside New York, and can assure you, there's plenty of snow on the ground. This isn't huge news, but it's definitely exciting. If you're in New York City this week and see the "Batcopter" be sure to look up and wave to Mr. Nolan!

Not sure if this is true or not, but I read a rumor that they're not shooting in Chicago at all this time. That would be strange if true, because much of the original two movies were shot in Chicago.

The Dark Knight Rises as Magnus Rex
Although official production isn't set to begin until May, word comes to us from Production Weekly that The Dark Knight Rises will be going under the working titles Magnus Rex and Fox Hills Green. Many of you will remember that Inception went under the working title Oliver's Arrow; Oliver being the name of one of Christopher's sons. And I'm sure I don't have to remind many that The Dark Knightâs working title was Rory's First Kiss; Rory also being the name of another of Nolan's sons. It shouldn't surprise you to learn that the name Magnus in Magnus Rex is derived from yet another one of the Nolan boys. Magnus Nolan is most notably known for his adorable role as the young James Cobb in Inception.
So why would a movie filming in May have a fake production title out already? And seemingly two of them? Well that could be due to the fact that The Dark Knight Rises is supposedly shooting plates this week in New York City. We know that Wally Pfister met with Christopher Nolan and production designer Nathan Crowley in NYC the other week scouting for locations. According to a source close to Batman-On-Film they are filming "a plate shot in a helicopter over New York City this week. Apparently, Chris Nolan wants to get the city with snow on the ground." My guess would be that Fox Hills Green is being used for this NYC bit, with Magnus Rex likely being the working title that sticks around for the remainder of the production starting in May.
