Levitt isn't Falcone in DARK KNIGHT RISES?

EW conflicting with Variety's casting for Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Dark Knight Rises.

Even the trades and their mostly studio-provided press releases get it wrong sometimes. We're not saying this is the case in regards to Joseph Gordon-Levitt's confirmed casting for The Dark Knight Rises but Entertainment Weekly is certainly suggesting it with the role that was reportedly his. Last Friday, the trade confirmed the ongoing rumors that the Inception star would be hopping on board Chrisopher Nolan's third Batman installment and then later followed up their own story by saying that Levitt will play Alberto Falcone, the son of Mafia Boss Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson) and future Holiday Killer.

Well, the latter part may not be true as of yet.

EW reports that while Levitt is indeed joining the production, he's not set just as Falcone. So let the various blogs out there (and you Maniacs) continue speculation on whether the actor would indeed play another character such as The Riddler or Deadshot in this wrap-up of Nolan's trilogy.

Sound off with your thoughts below.

Thanks to Rascal020978 for the submission.

Levitt as the Riddler would be freakin' awesome, I know I'll take crap for saying it but I thought he was great as Cobra Commander and he's definitely got a crazy side that's destined to come out.

I thought DeadShot was Floyd Lawton and not Alberto Falcone

Levitt would be great as Edward Nigma, but Nolan has specifically said that The Riddler won't be the villain in this movie. That was reported here some time ago. Bummer :P

You thought he was great as Cobra Commander???? Let me guess, did you think Costner really shined as Robin Hood too?

I think he'd make a great Batgirl

I don't trust what anybody says.  We won't know till the film's in the can.

The cat from Batman on Film says JGL would play Alberto Falcone or Black Mask.
