Gotham is Keeping Its Mayor for The Dark Knight Rises

Remember back when Nestor Carbonell's name was floated around for a hypothetical Khan in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek 2?

No updates on that one. Thank God, I'm sorry but jumping in that direction is way too soon when other (and better sounding) options are out there for Team Abrams. Alas Carbonell will have to "settle" on playing as Gotham Mayor Anthony Garcia again. The hardships these actors must face at times...

Variety reports the Lost actor will return for The Dark Knight Rises, and, for the moment, appears to be the only cast-member exclusive to the second film returning for this one. One only assumes we'll have scenes with him riding on Gary Oldman's ass about catching "the Goddamn Batman!"
