The Dark Knight Rises Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake II

[sad lieutenant]

He's in talks to join the cast, if his schedule allows it.

Ive read the script. Not a lot of
likable white men in the story -- I wonder if JGL can *not* be affable / charming?

 

[HighFivingMF]

I haven't read the script for Django Unchained, but Anthony LaPaglia joined the cast and said he and JGL are playing greedy Australians that encounter Django at some point. So there's his role if he does agree to sign on.

Yeah, I just read that. They're in it for like 10 minutes near the end I was hoping for him to play Scotty Harmony more. Oh well.

Meh any part is better than none.

So I only just realised that JGL was the main guy in 500 days of summer.

anywho I'm a bat-fan but ahvnt read that much of the comics, is there actually a John Blake character in the Batman methos or is this a brand new character?

A really marginal character name John Blake appears in an old comic once.

I think Joker gets him fired from his job or steals his candy (really something tiny like that) and that's the last of his character

In an alternate universe Heath Ledger is doing this to Joseph Gordon Levitt in a movie as Joker and Blake respectively.

And it is the greatest funniest thing ever

Damn Rag. I often mistake you for Regwec. It's that damn avatar and the initial. But then I realize the posts have no English wit and then it sets in.

should I turn the English wit on?

 

[TheDragonator]

I'm going to throw my hat into the theory ring.

 

[The_Raganork]

Thats been thrown in a lot.

He's just a cop.

 

[TheDragonator]

You could also say that Bruce Wayne is just a billionaire playboy.

 

[The_Raganork]

Which is exactly why Blake is just a cop.

These movies are about Bruce not about Gotham becoming super hero central.

I see no reason to think Blake is any masked crusader, nothing in production has really hinted at this. He's been seen as a cop every time and it would fit Nolan's profile more so than adding another hero.

Beat cop swept up in the Gotham Chaos unsure of his superiors. Only wanting to make a difference and his city and being engulfed in a full fledged war against powers he's never thought existed.

 

[Visceral]

I hold that he might be a reverse of Harvey. A man inspired to be a cop by batman's example, similar to catwoman. Showing that Bruce that Batman's inspiration has multiple effects. Both in the law and outside.

 

[venus_ice]

John Blake is Ra's Al Ghul

Do what you must. You shan't fool me any longer!

 

[The_Raganork]

alright, all I need now is a willing englishman to turn on...

Any takers?

 

[Laderlappen]

It took a police jacket for me to see it, but JGL looks a little like Dominic West.

I'm Britis but not English.
But by God am I willing.

[MultipleJesuses]

How do I get that as my signature!!?

 

[The_Raganork]

lol...take quoted text as it is in your reply and copy into sig

 

[ThePhantasm]

Adding another superhero would require a long and dynamic arc that frankly this movie can't support. We've already got Batman, Catwoman, and Bane. That's some heavy hitters storywise. JGL is just a cop, and thank goodness.
