"The Dark Knight Rises"

There has apparently been a lot of buzz about who is going to be cast in the sequel to "The Dark Knight," called "The Dark Knight Rises."  We knew that Christian Bale would be returning to play Batman and that Anne Hathaway had been cast in the role of Catwoman.  Director, Christopher Nolan, announced yesterday that he had cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard for parts in the upcoming movie, but Gordon-Levitt will not be playing the Riddler like speculated.  Both of these actors worked together on Nolan's last film, "Inception", and Nolan said he instantly thought of the two of them when casting for this movie.  "Inception's" Tom Hardy has also been cast in the sequel as Bane.  "The Dark Knight Rises" is expected to be released July 20th, 2012.
