Joker site claims Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play Riddler

 

(HollywoodLife.com)

When Gossip Cop sees the word “Exclusive” and “HollywoodLife“ in the same sentence, we know we’ve got a bunch of phone calls and typing ahead of us.

Case in point: HollywoodLife’s headline, “EXCLUSIVE! Joseph Gordon-Levitt In Talks To Play The Riddler In Next ‘Batman!’”

The site begins its post by writing, “What started off as a joke has become a reality — Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who stars in Christopher Nolan’s new film, Inception, is the director’s first pick to play The Riddler in the next installment of the Batman franchise!”

One could arguably say the opposite about HollywoodLife itself – What started off (somewhat) based in reality has turned into a total joke.

Anyway, according to a HollywoodLife source – Who? The Joker? — “Chris really dug Joseph [as an actor],” and Gordon-Levitt “is definitely on the short list.”

Let’s cut this short. A rep for Gordon-Levitt tells Gossip Cop it’s not true.

“Joseph has not been approached about the next Batman movie. Just wishful thinking,” adds the rep.
