Gordon-Levitt ("Inception," "Hesher") will play John Blake, a Gotham City cop under the special command of Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman). This is a far cry from earlier reportage that the actor would play either enigmatic villain The Riddler or mafia heir Alberto Falcone.
"When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience," said Nolan in a release. "I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again."
"The Dark Knight Rises" also stars Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (the alias of Catwoman), Tom Hardy as Bane and Juno Temple.
The film opens nationwide July 20, 2012.

April 20, 2011 at 12:24AM EST Reply to CommentYeah, I'm not buying it either. There's no way Nolan puts two big stars (one of them an Oscar winner) in small roles.
