Joseph Gordon-Levitt is The Holiday Killer in The Dark Knight Rises

PerezHilton.com is stating that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be playing The Holiday Killer, as we previously reported on, in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt was thought to play the Riddler, Robin, Nightwing – even the Joker. The latest was thought to be The Holiday Killer and it seems to be true.

PerezHilton states according to sources:

“Well he has signed on to the film in a villainous role previously undisclosed until now. Levitt will be portraying Alberto Falcone aka the Holiday Killer.

He is the estranged son of former mob boss Carmine Falcone (portrayed by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins) who returns to Gotham to take over the underworld once fiercly ruled by his father before the arrival of Batman.”

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th 2012 and is directed by Christopher Nolan starring Christan Bale as Batman.
