JGL hasn't proven himself to be anything more than a good supporting actor. Nolan guzzlers will say otherwise.

exactly.

look I'm not a JGL hater. I think he is a damn good actor. I am a hater of the idiots who are trying to hype this guy up as the next De Niro. those same people will give him credit for roles like The Dark Knight Rises and Inception as if he was the leading man or was the reason those movies were good when in reality he had small supporting roles in them. they will do the same for the movie "Lincoln" coming up because once again he will have a small supporting role in a huge blockbuster film. Levitt knocked it out of the park with 50/50, but other than that he's yet to prove anything.

JGL played supporting roles in Nolan movies, so why would anybody use them to show that he is a capable leading man?

JGL's one of those actors who will take nearly any role thrown at him and its hard to respect actors like that. now keep in mind that I am arguing against those who claim this guy is the best young actor out there so that is why I say this. if he were a struggling actor or comedy actor, etc. then I wouldn't blame him for taking any paycheck that comes his way, but that's not the case. he will be in 4 movies this year, he was in 5 in 2010, 5 again in 2009, etc. .... now for those who are hugging this guys nuts .... when was the last time you saw any legit actor take on that many supporting roles? that's a big part of being a respectable actor in being selective of what roles you take and by how many films you do per year, etc.

to put that into perspective and to compare him to one of the LEGIT best actors out there in Leonardo DiCaprio ... since 2009 (in the last 4 years and counting the films to be released by the end of this year) ...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been in 15 movies

Leonardo DiCaprio has been in 4 movies

the dark knight rises together with its prequel- the dark knight (08) featured the worst batman the world has ever seen and would probably make bruce wayne kill himself if he really existed. in the 08 movie for example, heath ledger looked more like the leading role and the batman's performance looked just as fake as the plastic muscles behind his batman suit, completely overshadowed by the joker imho. didn't see the 12' film but it ain't much better i suppose, and i wouldn't even know this movie but for the denver shootout
