Thats actually a really good point. JGL could be Black Mask and have a very Maroni-esque part, but the fact that he is a big name super villain just shows the escalation of Gotham. That could also fit into Nolan's "definite end" for the trilogy. The trilogy is suppose to be Batman's first few years on the job. By the end of TDKR, Batman should be a legend and there should be freaks left and right like in the comics.

Yep. It would be the perfect way of meshing the 'old mob' with the 'new freaks', and carrying on the trend of 'escaltion', IMO.
 
Got a quote for that DaCrissa?
Yeah, that wording is a bit funny DaCrissa. Jett hasn't really posted anything regarding that he thinks he'll be Black Mask, he just reposted the EW update which linked back to his old article mentioning BM. To state BOF says it's "definitely" Black Mask when they basically haven't commented on it doesn't sound right to me.

Yeah, it's in the article but I'll post it here:
Jett said:
I had heard JGL was definitely playing ONE of the following characters: Black Mask or Alberto Falcone.

Sorry if there was any confusion in my SHH post here. My article on Batman-News.com is much clearer, and includes the entire quote so there isn't confusion.
 
He's playing Black Falcone. Happy now? Damn.
 
Yep, sounds to me like Team Nolan/WB's sniffing out a leak. I just can't imagine either EW or Variety getting something like this flat-out wrong in any other scenario. There's gotta be some misinformation being put out there.
 
He's clearly playing the Penguin.

He's going to get really fat like Jared Leto did in that movie where he played the guy who shot John Lennon.
 
Well, looks like I get to keep my sig a little bit longer. Very surprising news today!
 
Then what's the point of Gordon's speech at the end of Begins and Joker's "they'll be doubling up at the rate this city's inhabitants are losing their minds" speech in TDK?

Escalation means nothing if things don't ESCALATE.

And in this case escalation means the rise of the freaks in Gotham.

But Alberto Falcone is a freak, it just isn't readily apparent that he is. In a way, if they did go the Holiday Killer route, that would be the perfect way to connect them. The mobster(s) have become the freaks.

But whether JGL is going to be Falcone or not is useless to speculate right now given we don't even know the plot of the film or any other details. He could only be in it for one scene, we don't know.

Which is why I'm sticking with my original prediction: son of Falafel guy.
 
I hope its Black Mask and the False Face Society. I think itd be cool if the other members masks were other Batman villains like Tally Man, Penguin, Red Hood, Clayface, Scarface, Great White Shark and Hush. This way theres tons of people in suits for Nolan and Easter Eggs for everyone else.

Bane frees everyone from Arkham in the opening mostly to get Scarecrow to help the group. Then they could say the Joker is missing with one of his doctors.

Each member would responsible for attacking different areas of the city and Bane could study Bats while hes stopping the others. They could also be killing the rest of the Falcone crime family like in TLH. Basically just wars everywhere.
 
Wow Variety is incorrect??? I don't hear that often...aren't they usually credible when it comes to this type of info? Oh well we should find out eventually from Nolan himself anyways.

We don't know who is right and who is wrong yet. Entertainment Weekly thinks Variety is incorrect though.
 
I know who Joseph Gordon Levitt is playing


A street smart Gotham boy
 
Good theory, but check my sig for a different idea.
Bruce Wayne - Christian Bale
Selina Kyle - Anne Hathaway
Alfred Pennyworth - Michael Caine
James Gordon - Gary Oldman
Bane - Tom Hardy
*Small, emoticon-sized picture of Chris Nolan winking* - Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Lucius Fox - Morgan Freeman
 
I'd love to see JGL put on a mask....which, maybe a little bit too much to ask, since Nolan dont really prefer mask/costume

Yeah, ya know, what with Bruce fighting crime in jeans and a t-shirt...

You know...... I don't recall one pair of jeans in any of Nolan's movies except for BB when Bruce is spying on Rachel and Larry Harden... :huh:
