The studio may not be releasing box office totals for The Dark Knight Rises, but lets be honest, this weekend – Colorado massacre aside – is all about the Batman!  Hands down.  Nothing short of a cataclysmic happening could knock the 3rd installment of the franchise from topping records.

And Letterman lied.  Batman doesn’t arrive at his untimely demise, as he let “slip” during Anne Hathaway’s recent appearance and the rumored method of finalizing the trilogy.

The cast is stellar and above all one stands out – you guessed it – Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

And so this posting is to sing hotness’ praise, so let us delve straight into it.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt rules this film.  And without giving too much away, his character suggests the rise of another character close to the films hero namesake.  Don’t get us wrong, we were thrilled to see Hathaway hold her ground as Selena Kyle, but all in all its about Gordon-Levitt.

We anxiously await word on if the studio will be able to procure Christian Bale’s further participation.
