Hype is rising more this week for Christopher Nolan's 'Batman' trilogy finale The Dark Knight Rises, with filming well underway, and of course the first official still revealing 'Bane.' And now, Variety has revealed three latecomers to the ensemble cast.

Matthew Modine & Tom Conti have joined “The Dark Knight Rises,” Variety's Jeff Sneider exclusively reports. In keeping with the Christopher Nolan tradition, there wasn't a chance in hell we were going to be able to figure out who they'd play. Kid actor Joey King has also joined the cast. More on that in a bit.

Matthew Modine, 59, is known for Full Metal Jacket and his Oscar-nominated performance in Reuben, Reuben. And Tom Conti, 69, has appeared in vintage flicks - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Shirley Valentine and more recently Blind Revenge. And rising star Joey King, 11, has appeared in this year's Battle: Los Angeles. With little to speculate on, what do you think?



The Dark Knight Rises' story details are being kept underwraps. Although, the films stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Marion Cotillard, Josh Pence, Nestor Carbonell, Michael Caine and possibly Alon Aboutboul, the film releases 20 July, 2012!

Most likely there gonna be some business related people. Or Gotham police. And the little girl probably a young Talia or a random little girl.

I bet Joey King is a young Talia Al Ghul.

I think the girl is a young Barbra Gordon. The news to this movie is just rolling in. Today is an excellent day in comicbook news.

Me too,@Dynamo.
Talia or Gordon´s daughter.
But I bet more on the first one.

They are playing Tweedledee and Tweedledum..you just watch!

Seriously though, both good actors. Full Metal jacket FTW. Cast is enormous now though, hope Nolan hasn't over stuffed it.

Modine could definitely play Black Mask. Conti could play Rupert Thorn, and King, well she could be a lot of people. But if I had to guess if Nolan was going to throw another villain in there it would be Thorn, not Black Mask, even though that would kick ass.

I see Joey King as either Gordon's Daughter or a young Talia.

You know what she would make the Cutest little Harley Quinn though.

Tom Conti will be an aged Ra's Al Ghul, Modine will be some deuchy talk show host and that little girl will be.... someone completely insignificant maaaybe?

@ Leonato


Rupert Thorn... now I totally see it. You are dead on right. This film needs it's mob boss...to later be murdered by Bane.

I Think Tom Conti could play a different and a good Penguin?

from left to right: Edward Nashton (as a reference to the Riddler), Barbara Gordon, and Rupert Thorne? xD Just pure speculation, although I do think that Joey King could be Barbara... who knows!

Harley Quinn,a 11 years old girl?
I don´t think so.
And I was thinking here:
In TDK,Gordon´s daughter was about 5 years at most ...and Joey is 11!
And the time difference between TDK and TDKR is probably less than a year.
I doubt she is playing Gordon´s daughter.

I can't decide what's funnier; your proofreading skills or the thought of Modine with an Oscar nomination. The highlight of his acting career was getting to grope Betsy Russell in her prime.

@barber2323
I think you crossed a few wires there.

Barbara Gordon anyone?

@GDSG so what? She could've been recasted! We didnt even see her face in TDK, she could very well be Barbara, or like someone else said, a young Talia in the Ra's Al Ghul flashback

Probably not even proper characters. Not worth speculating over

The girl is Young Talia to be shown with the young bane or its a young selina kyle. Modine is either a cameo as a villain or a cop. Conti could be a gang boss for sure.

Random idea...Bane will have a relatively small but pivotal role. He'll probably badly injure Batman at some critical juncture, but my guess is he'll play no real part in the third act.

seedslinger - 5/21/2011, 8:17 AM
Just cos Conti has a REALLY bad double chin, doesn't mean he's Clayface!

Modine = Nixon [?]
Joey = young Talia
Conti = Rupet Thorne or Tony Zucco

bahhhhh!!!!! I can't wait for this movie!!!!
Organa1978
Organa1978 - 5/21/2011, 10:35 AM
Tom Conti as Harvey Bullock or Rupert Thorne for me.
Matthew Modine as Nixon?
Joey looks like a young version of Marion Cotillard ...their eyes are very similar.
I highly doubt she´s Gordon's daughter, Barbara, because in TDK,she must have been
about 5 years and the time difference between TDK and TDKR is at most one year.
And also she isn´t the young Selina Kyle, because Anne Hathaway has dark brown eyes and the girl has light eyes.
I saw it on her twitter,which earlier this month, she said she would shoot in another country,and she went back to tweeting at 7th which was the last day filming in India.
