BURBANK, CA, April 19, 2011 – Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have joined the cast of “The Dark Knight Rises,” the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight legend.

Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father’s philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.

Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.

The film reunites the actors with Christopher Nolan, who recently directed them in the award-winning blockbuster “Inception.”

The director stated, “When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience. I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again.”

Heading the cast of “The Dark Knight Rises,” Christian Bale stars as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The main cast also includes Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy as Bane.

Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Christopher Nolan will also produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is slated for release in Australian Cinemas July 19, 2012. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

The Dark Knight Rises: Justin Bieber is Dick Grayson??!

HAHAHAHAHA…HAHAHHA…HAHAHAHHAHA…

This is the part where everyone says: WHAAAAAAAAAT?…Because we just have official confirmation of one of the biggest secrets surronding the production of Christopher Nolan`s “The Dark Knight Rises”. Teenage pop star (no comments) Justin Bieber has been confirmed to join the film as Dick Grayson/Robin. YEP IT`S TRUE.

Bieber is also playing a role in Ashton Kutcher`s new film WHAT WOULD KENNY DO?.

We don`t know how Nolan could agreed on this, but maybe the preassure from the big sponsors and companies involved finally had results. Let`s hope Nolan does a great job still.

If you are Crying, and jumping to google to confirm this news, don`t bother, because this is an April Fool`s joke…Got you! (Sorry we know this is really cruel) 😛

(UPDATED) Joseph Gordon-Levitt will play the Holiday Killer in the Dark Knight Rises

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will portray Alberto Falcone, also known as the villain the Holiday Killer, a serial killer who murders his victims on holidays. Falcone is the son of crime boss Carmine Falcone (played by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins), bringing Nolan’s trilogy full-circle and basing the film pretty much in Nolan’s favorite and most referenced Batman stories: The Long Halloween.

Still, with no word from Warner Bross., there’s no word if Alberto will actually become Holiday like in The Long Halloween or just be more of a general nuisance to Batman, like his father was.

So with this news, the confirmed new characters so far are: Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) , Bane (Tom Hardy) and Alberto Falcone (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).

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

UPDATED:  EW is now saying Variety is incorrect. While he has a role, the magazine says it’s not Alberto Falcone. Let the speculation start again 😦
