Rumor: Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt Playing 'Black Mask' In The Dark Knight Rises?

Yes, I know...It looks like we will never get a proper confirmation. But now another new rumor has surfaced saying that Joseph Gordon-Levitt might play Roman Sionis, also known as Black Mask. More after the jump!

Remember those spoilers we got that sort of revealed the plot of The Dark Knight Rises? Yeah, well, even though we didn't get a confirmation that Black Mask is indeed in the film, it looks like that something is going on regarding the character. Since we don't know for sure if Joseph Gordon-Levitt is playing Alberto Falcone, or some other character Batman On Film posted something interesting:

"I had heard JGL was definitely playing ONE of the following characters: Black Mask or Alberto Falcone. Honestly, I REALLY thought he was going to be Black Mask and I wasn’t too thrilled about it. I did figured [sic] one of these was a red herring and I’m glad the decoy was [Black Mask] and not Alberto."


Many thanks to Batman-News for the heads up and also they were following that post from BOF, saying that:

"Now this is where things get even crazier. Earlier today after Entertainment Weekly published their article, BOF edited their original post — replacing all references of Black Mask with “Xxxxx Xxxx”. Did BOF make the change to protect their relationship with Warner Bros. in an attempt to not give away Gordon-Levitt’s character? Perhaps.


So, what do you think? Could he play Black Mask? Or maybe there is some other character in the game that we don't know about?

The Dark Knight Rises is set to hit theatres on July 20, 2012!
