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 😦
