Variety have a piped up with an update with the news that we already knew that the character that Joseph Gordon Levitt will play in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is not The Riddler, or indeed Deadshot. No, the INCEPTION star will play Alberto Falcone, the son of Mafia chieftain Carmine Falcone, the character Tom Wilkinson played in BATMAN BEGINS, according to sources of the trade, which gives it much more weight than this time yesterday, as reported by Paul Koren.
The character also goes by the name The Holiday Killer. Check out the awesome WikiPedia‘s description of said character below:
[The Holiday Killer] is a fictional character appearing in the Batman story The Long Halloween (1996-1997) by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale. The true identity of the killer is never definitively revealed in the story itself; both Alberto Falcone and Gilda Dent admit to being Holiday, with Gilda claiming she committed the first three murders and that someone else (she believes her husband Harvey) took over from there.
The word is that Juno Temple may also be joining the cast as a ‘street smart Gotham girl,’ which we also kind of reported yesterday. Temple is best known for her roles in high profile films ATONEMENT ans ST TRINIANS 2.
This is Juno Temple (below). Also, I really like this art that sprung up overnight…. and I really like Juno Temple.
Warner Brothers are still yet to comment on the above rumours…
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is set for release on July 20, 2012. Christopher Nolan directs.
