Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing The Riddler?

I can’t begin to stress this enough: this is not verified.  But right now, all signs point to Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who just kicked ass in Batman 3 director Christopher Nolan’s Inception) being at the top of a fairly short list to play The Riddler.

It makes sense.  Nolan tends to re-use actors from film to film, and Gordon-Levitt did a very good job in Inception.

Fun fact, though: Spider-Man alum James Franco was the original choice to play Gordon-Levitt’s role in Inception.  Makes one wonder if Franco would be in the same place if he hadn’t passed.
