Despite a recent production location change from Chicago to Pittsburgh for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, the fictional city of Gotham lives on and genre fans will see its top politician return in the fast-tracking third installment. Variety reports that Nestor Carbonell ("LOST", The Dark Knight) has been officially set to reprise the role of the Mayor of Gotham. The trade also reports that Diego Klattenhoff and Burn Gorman are also being eyed for supporting roles as well.

The three would be joining Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Juno Temple, Josh Pence and Daniel Sunjata. Christopher Nolan returns to wrap up his trilogy, based on a screenplay by David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan.

Plot details are being kept under wraps for now.

The Dark Knight Rises swoops into theaters July 20, 2012.

In the words made more famous by Peter Griffin, "Oh my god, who the hell cares." ;)

It's called continuity, something a good director insists upon. Obviously a Cameron leghumper like you won't get that. You've been spoon fed mediocrity from the Cameron teat too long.

As for Nestor, maybe he'll live on as some immortal Mayor of Gotham City.

CrazyCEO: Whether or not Nestor is in this movie will have no affect on continuity either way. Rutger Hauer never returned for The Dark Knight and that made no difference in continuity. And go easy on James Cameron. For being such a hated director by most of you, he sure does a helluva job at making these mega-blockbusters.

 Hey Crazy, its actually called shut the fu.k up.  Why you gotta be such a dooshbag and attack the guy for leaving a simple humorous comment?

 
And what mediocrity you talking about?  Cameron got back to back best picture nominees including one win ad back to back biggest box office hits ever.
 
like i said, shut the fu.k up and go sit at the little kids table.  grown men is talking here ya heard.

 almost forgot to comment on the story, yay 4 carbonell!  and no, for the last time he aint wearing any eye liner damnit.

Crazy-douche you mean like the Dawes character. A major character, unlike the one at hand, and change didn't seem to hinder TDK . You should think before starting something, dickhead
 

lol and thanks @ hanso. I see it takes a Batman news story to get you to join us nowadays. You treat us like unwanted bastard children, what's up.

Anyway it wouldn't have been a true Bat  flick without Batmanuel

Hanso's issue (like some others) is that we're having issues with cellphone app/comments, Wiseguy. The issue will hopefully be resolved soon enough but you can still tell Hanso that he should at least have a PC or laptop if he really wants to annoy us on a daily basis. It shouldn't all be by way of an Android or iPhone. :)

Damn right Hanzo!

This is the big boys table... Now I have to get back to the important business, my 3 3/4 inch Thor, Spidey and Iron Man action figures are in DEEP shit in the back yard, I was using the BBQ as a volcano and...

BunyonSnipe 4/16/2011 3:35:13 PM

Maybe that's more of a hint, than we were expecting, maybe the mayor DOES become Batmanuel, taking over from Batman while he's on the run from the Law...

BunyonSnipe 4/16/2011 3:36:21 PM

How fucking SWEEET would that be?
