Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Marion Cotillard has been cast alongside a few of her ‘Inception’ co-stars in the third Batman film. We first learned that Tom Hardy would be portraying Bane, the super intelligent/strong villain. Next Anne Hathaway scored the much sought after Catwoman role. Joseph Gordon Levitt was then revealed to have joined the cast as The Holiday Killer. He was also rumored to be attached to the role of The Riddler, but both notions were wrong.
There have been a thousand rumors when it comes to the casting of Christopher Nolan’s third Batman film. The subject of the rumors tends to be who the villain will be and what actor will nab the role. Most recently, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was rumored to be a top runner for the role of The Riddler. IMBD has gone as far as posting him on the cast list as Batman’s rival, Edward Nygma despite his reps statement that JGL hasn’t even been approached.
However, rumor has it that Nolan is also after Johnny Depp to portray the demented nemesis. Another farfetched casting story comes from National Enquirer…
“After seven weeks of topping the charts with his “Recovery” album, almighty-whitey rapper EMINEM – itching to dominate movie screens again and repeat the critical kudos he won with biopic “8 Mile” – rapped to his reps: “When it comes to business, you know I ain’t no fiddler…You tell them Batman biggies, I wanna play ‘The Riddler!’” Will Eminem nail a big-screen comeback deal – or get a screen test, at least?
Producers are piqued at the prospect of a Rappin’ Riddler, but Slim Shady’s facing stiff competition – execs are also confab-ing with JOHNNY DEPP and red-hot “Inception” star JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT. Stay tuned.”
It sounds absolutely ridiculous. I can’t picture Eminem being this corny in his request to screen-test. I am also guessing that Nolan will require a pedigree in acting and one stint in his biopic doesn’t make for a great resume. Nolan pretty much could pick whoever he wanted so Em’s competition is ridiculously fierce. So I am going to file this one under NGH – NOT GONNA HAPPEN for the Almighty Whitey.
The only casting that is official is Christina Bale as Batman, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox and Michael Caine as Alfred. Currently Christopher, his brother Jonathan and David Goyer are still working on a story and screenplay. The release date is (as of today) July 20 of 2012.

After quietly raising his star power and nabbing a role in “Inception,” Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be cast in another career making role. Levitt is one of the few child stars to actually make a career for himself past the age 9. Currently he has nearly 60 appearances on tv and film on his resume.
As a third installment to Christopher Nolan’s Batman machine begins to take shape, casting rumors are running amok. The villain that will torture the Christian Bale’s hero hasn’t been announced but insiders are swearing it will be The Riddler.
Via First Showing:
“We’ve gotten word from a reliable inside source with a studio casting grid that The Riddler is listed as a character for Chris Nolan’s highly anticipated to the sequel to The Dark Knight, which is still called Batman 3 at Warner Bros. Even more interesting, the actor currently listed in the same grid to play the assumed villain is none other than Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whose status is just listed as ‘interested.’”
Many names have been thrown around for roles in the third installment. Many characters have also been theorized. You may have heard Johnny Depp was after the Riddler role along with a long list of actresses after the Catwoman role. Even a delicious rumor feature Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin circulated. Currently, Christopher Nolan and his brother, Jonathan Nolan along with David Groyer are still rumored to be working on the screenplay.
So is there any validity to this rumor? Perhaps. Levitt wisely spoke highly of Nolan after working with him in the latest hit film “Inception.” They reportedly got along very well and he’d be stupid turn his nose up at an opportunity like this. In my opinion, I would walk away confident that the Riddler will be a villain in the much anticipated third Batman.
