Deadline reports that Joseph Gordon-Levitt may join the cast of Christopher Nolan's next Batman sequel, The Dark Knight Rises. I'm pretty ambivalent about Nolan — I thought Batman Begins was fun, but The Dark Knight was an adolescent muddle elevated by one great performance, and Inception was about as dreamlike as an Excel sheet. That said, if there's one constant in contemporary filmmaking, it's this: adding Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes movies better. He totally killed in Brick and Mysterious Skin, and, hey, he even managed to sneak a little humor into the more or less joyless Inception. Okay, I'll stop baiting you now. Bottom line, a Levitt picture is good news whether you're looking forward to the next Batman movie or not. No word yet on who he'd play if the rumor's true.

Secret Character

He was impressive in Inception. Too bad I can't say the same for the movie itself. Not even a full refund could make up for being dragged by hand by Nolan through a conceptual house or mirrors that seemingly had no exit. When you finally leave you feel violated in some kind of way (dont tell anyone though, you'll get looked at funny). Id like to see him as a villain.

They should combine Robin and his character from Mysterious Skin.

Clearly you're not allowed to enjoy great films like Inception or the modern Batmans on here as they're too mainstream
