In 2000 Bruce Willis was a hot commodity and so he got a 20 million dollar pay cheque for appearing in the Disney dramatic comedy “The Kid”. In the film Bruce Willis’s character has an encounter with a young version of himself through time travel! After this fun ordeal full of laughs and heartwarming scenes Bruce Willis learns a lesson from a child and turns his life around.

Who looks more like Bruce Willis?

Well this story isn’t over quite yet! It looks like Bruce Willis is back and this time he needs to teach his younger self, this time played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, a lesson about doing crime in Disney’s Looper! But is the movie really about young Bruce Willis learning a lesson or will we once again see that Bruce Willis has to learn a lesson of his own from his younger self, as he did in Disney’s The Kid?

update: this story is false.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (and the rest of the cast of Inception) has been heavily favored to join the cast of Christopher Nolan’s next Batman movie. Now with Tom Hardy in place as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, JGL will join the cast as Alberto Falcone.

You may recall Carmine Falcone was played by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins, and his empire was shattered by Batman and Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight. Alberto Falcone is his son in the Batman fiction, and may be entering the story to reclaim the family business.

However, Nolan has borrowed from The Long Halloween before, and its likely that Alberto won’t just be another mob boss but will instead be The Holiday Killer. Holiday was a serial killer whose first murder occurred on Halloween, (then Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc) and continued until the following Halloween with the murder of Carmine Falcone.

As of The Dark Knight, Carmine is still being held in Arkham, after a dose of Scarecrow’s psychotic drugs. Its unknown how this might fit in with Bane or the possibility of Catwoman, but both of those characters are tied heavily to Gotham’s organized crime.

As casting news begins to slow down and filming not to far off, the full story is still hard to decipher. The Dark Knight had twists audiences didn’t expect that didn’t come from set reports and no script was leaked in advance. If The Dark Knight Rises can continue this momentum and use the wealth of characters to give the story life and depth rather than crowd it, we might have the first super hero movie series with a good third act.
