Courtesy of Deadline we were able to find out that Inceptions Joseph Gordon Levitt is in talks to play and unknown roll in The Dark Knight Rises. Rumors popped up immediately after the Dark Knight was released about JGL taking on the roll of the Joker after Heath Ledgers unfortunate passing. Seeing as how the two have a remarkably close resemblance to one another it is not a surprise that fans would immediately go that route but Director Christopher Nolan immediately Debunked that rumor. Then The rumors immediately jumped to him portraying The Riddler which Nolan once again debunked. So who would JGL be playing?

More after the Jump!

An interesting little bit of news just popped up about one of the shooting locations in particular for The Dark Knight Rises. It alludes to the possibility that Batmans young ward Robin may make an appearance in Nolans third Batman Installment. Heres the quote courtesy of WILX.com

They looked at the Ledges as well as a water treatment plant located inside the park. Sources say the area is being considered as a hideout for Batman sidekick Robin.

It is very possible that this could be just a big rumor especially considering Nolan has said on numerous occasions that Robin will never show his face in any of his films. Could it be possible that this was just ploy to throw off fans? Or is it possible that someone changed his mind about the inclusion of the Boy Wonder?

Interestingly enough I could see JGL take on the roll of Robin, he has a youthful demeanor that i could see play a more realistic version of the character. In my personal opinion if Robin as added to the film I could see him introduced as someone who is a bit older rather than a ten year old like in the comics. Now all of this is just fan boy speculation, we will certainly have to wait and see Nolans response to all these rumors before anything is set in stone.

What do you guys think about this? Do you think Joseph Gordon Levitt will cameo as the Joker, Robin or some other random character?? Let us know in the comments!
