UPDATE: Joseph-Gordon Levitt confirmed to play Alberto Falcone in The Dark Knight Rises, or maybe not
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s long-rumored role in The Dark Knight Rises has been revealed to be Alberto Falcone, youngest son of Carmine Falcone—played by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins—whose ostracizing from the Falcone crime family and desire to prove he was a badass spurred him to become Holiday, a serial killer with a taste for Hallmark Store tchotchkes and rubber nipples. Of course, bringing Falcone into the mix doesn’t necessarily mean that Christopher Nolan is intent on introducing Holiday, but with Catwoman definitely on board, the pieces are certainly already in place for Dark Knight Rises to follow elements of The Long Halloween and Dark Victory storylines, which also featured a subplot where Selina Kyle begins investigating whether she is Carmine Falcone’s illegitimate daughter.
