A “reliable source” from website www.firstshowing.net has gotten it’s hands on a casting grid for Batman 3 indicating that The Riddler is the primary villain in the film. A casting grid is basically a chart for agents and studios to keep them abreast of what roles need to be cast in said film. The site is also claiming that the chart puts actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the top spot for the role. The casting could be feasible considering Levitt’s recent work with Nolan in Inception, and I’d be down with him playing the part as he’s a fantastic young actor. However, I’m still holding out hope that Nolan and his brother, Batman 3 screenwriter Jonathan Nolan, will go with a villain we haven’t seen before. This would be more in line with every statement all the creators have made regarding the 3rd film in the series.

While I was hesitant to run with this story last night, most sites seem to believe it’s creditably, especially the news of The Riddler being in the film. We’ll see what happens soon enough.

Also, since Comic Con starts today we’ll be seeing a lot of geeky news this week. Movies like next year’s Thor, Captain America, and The Green Lantern will be at the forefront of this onslaught. Just check out these amazing Comic Con concept art posters for the two Marvel films:

Also, this image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor in the Kenneth Branagh film looks like something out of a cheesy 80s rock video. However, I no know next to nothing about Thor, so maybe fans dig it.
