The Dark Knight Rises Casting News!

Warner Brothers have finally revealed who Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard will be playing in The Dark Knight Rises. Is JGL Black Mask? No silly! Is Cotillard Talia Al Ghul? Of course not. Nolan is much more smarter than the average fan boy. He isn't going to stuff the last chapter of his Batman trilogy with villains. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be playing John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop who is assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon. Marion Cotillard will play Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises Board member eager to help a still grieving Bruce Wayne resume his fathers philanthropic endeavours for Gotham.

Personally, I am very happy with the roles for these two great actors. I'm so glad they aren't playing established Batman characters and that they will be new characters devised by either the Nolan brothers or Goyer. With the confirmation of Cotillard and JGL. The cast is already quite tasty. They will join new cast members such as Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Josh Pence and Juno Temple. Previous cast members such as Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine are all returning too.

The Dark Knight Rises is slated for release on July 20th, 2012.

What do you think of this news? What do you think of the casting overall? Are you excited for The Dark Knight Rises?

As always, feel free to leave your thoughts below.

Thanks.

Chris.
