When I heard Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Riddler, that news just clicked with me like Patrick Stewart for Professor X. It just felt right. But it would seem that Levitt’s rep has issued a statement saying its not true, and Joseph is not on the shortlist for Riddler.

Obsessed with Film

a rep for Joseph Gordon-Levitt has denied the shortlisting of the Inception actor for The Riddler role in Christopher Nolan’s Batman 3

And there it is, a rumour and hope squashed with so few words of pain and dispairity. My hopes of seeing Gordon-Levitt as Riddler is washed away.

And with it perhaps my hopes of seeing Nolan give his touch to The Riddler. After all it is not confirmed who the badguy will be in Batman 3.

And I am being too melodramatic over the whole thing as it is still within the realm of possibility that Gordon-Levitt’s whispering might be planting a seed not yet in fruition.

And with the movie not filming until March next year, there is a lot of time for Nolan to make up his mind on such things.
