Want to know Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Batman role? (UPDATED)

It was confirmed last night that Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be joining Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (here), but as always, we didn’t know what character Levitt would be portraying. However, Variety is now reporting that Levitt will portray Alberto Falcone AKA The Holiday Killer in the film. Alberto Falcone is the son of Crime Boss Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins). It’s unknown what role the character will play in The Dark Knight Rises, but we can expect him to return, and re-take the criminal underworld after The Joker destroyed it in The Dark Knight. This also confirms Gary Oldman’s claim about the film being tied to Batman Begins (here).

Update: Sources are telling Entertainment Weekly that Levitt won’t be portraying Alberto Falcone after all. It looks like we can resume speculation, but we now hope that he’ll be portraying Black Mask instead.
