First Look at Dark Knight Rises Poster!

This is the teaser poster for Christopher Nolan's third Batman installation: The Dark Knight Rises. As you can see, it doesn't reveal much. What we do know is that the film will star Christian Bale reprising his role as Batman, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Tom Hardy as Bane.

Rumor Mill: Riddler in 'Batman 3', Possibly Played by Inception Star

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.
