Le Figaro, is the latest source of
The Dark Knight Rises speculation. They’re reporting that Oscar-winning actress
Marion Cotillard, who previously worked with director
Christopher Nolan in
Inception, will be starring in the final
Batman
film. Being as Nolan has already cast two other actors from
Inception in
The Dark Knight Rises,
Tom Hardy and
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this story feels more solid than most other rumors. Read the translated article and more after the jump.
Who would she be playing?
A. One of Ras-Al-Gul's daughters
B. Harley Quinn
C. Vicky Vale (unlikely)
CONFIRMED:

He'll actually be playing a new villain who is connected to the first film
Batman
Begins. Sources say:
"Well he has signed on to the film in a villainous role previously undisclosed until now. Levitt will be portraying Alberto Falcone aka the
Holiday Killer.
He is the estranged son of former mob boss Carmine Falcone (portrayed by
