Here's a riddle for you: If Christopher Nolan isn't attached to direct the sequel to The Dark Knight yet, are any casting rumors regarding the film true? Put simply, no, but this is one that I truly wish was true. Rumors have been echoing across the interweb that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will reteam with Nolan for his third film based on the Batman comic books, this time in the face of The Riddler. The Riddler has been the villain that most have speculated will play a pivotal role in the sequel, and since initially talk that Johnny Depp would be best for the role, attention has shifted to the Inception star.
Why am I so certain it isn't true? Because when has news about the hyped up sequel that hasn't come straight from the mouth of Christopher Nolan ever been true? Answer: Never. Nolan is the only one you can trust when it comes to news about his movies. Both Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman have slipped up about these rumors, mistaking them for truth. When the people starring in the damn movie don't know what's going on, how can we? Now as much as I'd love Gordon-Levitt to take the role, I'm going to say right now that unless it comes from Nolan's mouth, it isn't true. The only true facts about the Dark Knight sequel are that Jonathan Nolan, Christopher's brother, is penning the script based on a story by Chris Nolan and David Goyer, and it's to be released on July 20, 2012. For now, that's the end of it.
