Joseph Gordon-Levitt in talks for Dark Knight Rises, ZOMG!!!1ONE!

Deadline today reports that every hipster’s fantasy boyfriend, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“JGL”, if you’re super cool) is “in talks” to “reteam” with his Inception “director” Chris Nolan in the Dark Knight Rises.  He also joins his even more handsome (and twice as British) co-star Tom Hardy, who’s said to be playing the villain Bane, as well as the previously-cast Anne Hathaway.

I’m not sure what role [Levitt will] play, but I’m told that he will be in the movie when Nolan starts production this spring. Gordon-Levitt will be done shooting the Rian Johnson-directed Looper with Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt by then. Gordon-Levitt has the indie Hesher coming out this spring, as well as Live With It, the Jonathan Levine-directed pic about a 27-year old who tries to overcome a cancer diagnosis.

Wait, Hesher comes out this spring?  Finally!  That’s awesome!  …Wait, sorry, this is a movie blog.  This is the part where we’re supposed to argue about which Batman character JGL should play.  RIDDLER!  HE SHOULD PLAY THE RIDDLER!  NO, THE RIDDLER WAS ALWAYS A SUCKY CHARACTER! HE SHOULD PLAY THE JOKER! NO, ONLY HEATH LEDGER CAN PLAY THE JOKER EVEN THOUGH HEATH LEDGER AS THE JOKER SUCKED BEFORE WE SAW HEATH LEDGER PLAY THE JOKER!

…Am I doing this right?  Sorry, I may spend all day googling kitty pictures in my underwear, but all this comic book speculation is beneath me.  I’ll be happy so long as the next Batman is faithful this scene:
