Joseph Gordon-levitt Is Alberto Falcone in TDKR!

 

It has just been made official by Variety, Joseph Gordon-Levitt will play Alberto Falcone in The Dark Knight Rises. Alberto is of course the son of Carmine Falcone who appeared in Batman Begins. The ironic thing is called Levitt's role months ago on our Crashing Hollywood Podcast. Now if turns out that Marion Cottilard is confirmed for Talia Al Ghul I'll be two for two.

I think this and the probable casting of Cottilard as Taliah is what Gary Oldman had been referring to when he said that everything tied right back into Batman Begins and brought the story full circle. I think it was actually pretty damn obvious though, considering Nolan had said nothing aside from "well this film will bring our story full circle"whenever he was asked about it.

The logical guess at that point would be the heirs to the Falcone crime family and The League of Shadows. Also being thrown into the mix now as we already know is both Catwoman and Bane. I would expect Bane to play a role similar to what Ras Al Ghul had intended for Bruce in Begins, he'll be leading the League of Shadows back to Gotham, only this time with Talia at his side. As for Catwoman she could either be someone similar to the copy cat vigilantes in The Dark Knight, or she'll be tied to Falcone in some way and be tied to Wayne in another. All really just speculation on my part, but being that I nailed Levitt's and presumably Cottilard's roles already I'd be willing to guess I'm not too far off.
