We love a good rumor. Ahead of the official start of Comic-Con, First Showing announced that The Riddler will be a character in Christopher Nolan's Batman 3. Even better, the name swirling around the most for the role is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Gordon-Levitt is one of the stars in the current Christopher Nolan flick Inception, which: go see, seriously. He was also in (500) Days of Summer and was on 3rd Rock From the Sun.
Here's what we know: Christopher Nolan likes working with actors he has worked with in the past. And Joseph Gordon-Levitt has worked with Nolan (and did a great job), and they seem to have a good working relationship. Gordon-Levitt's status about the role is listed as "interested". Nolan has admitted he won't recast the iconic Joker, brilliantly played by the late Heath Ledger. With the need for a new villain, the Riddler seems like a good bed.
All this adds up to a juicy rumor, but one that would make me very happy if were confirmed.
