After months of rumors and speculation, "The Dark Knight Rises" has officially named two more members to its already-impressive cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard. Both actors have long been assumed to have joined Christopher Nolan's third highly anticipated "Batman" film, but were not confirmed in an official capacity.
According to the announcement from Warner Bros., Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon. Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father's philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.
Curiously enough, both characters are brand-new to the world of the Caped Crusader: They did not appear in the DC comic upon which the film and character are based.

As the last actor updates to Christopher Nolan’s Batman film finale trickle in, roles are bound to shrink to mere collected seconds on screen.

Red head Diego Klattenhoff—having been mostly remanded to the small screen save an appearance in “Mean Girls”—has won the part of a rookie cop. Finally, the trade asserts that character actor Ben Gorman (seen in “Layer Cake”) is also in talks for a supporting role.
