Gordon-Levitt Joins Batman
March 21st 2011 04:43
Joseph Gordon-Levitt joins his Inception director Christopher Nolan once again on The Dark Knight Rises. He gets to take on the role of Alberto Falcone, the son of Mafia chieftain Carmine Falcone, which Tom Wilkinson played in Batman Begins.
Alberto Falcone is also known as the Holiday Killer, and this brings Nolan's superhero trilogy full circle. Comic book geeks might say that the character fits with the director’s desire continuity and inclination to pit Bruce Wayne against "realistic" villains, as opposed to cartoonish nemeses from early incarnations of Batman like Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy in Joel Schumacher's 1997 Batman and Robin.
