Deadline's Mike Fleming is reporting that noted badass Tom Hardy has landed a "lead role" in Christopher Nolan's untitled third Batman movie. Lots of folks are already assuming he's been cast as Edward Nigma aka The Riddler, but at no time has Nolan or anyone connected to the series - aside from Michael Caine, who seems to delight in driving the fanboys wild with speculation - indicated that this character will appear in the movie. He could be Dr. Kirk Langstrom for all we know (and fervently hope).
Until we know who Hardy's playing, you're still free to speculate that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in the running to play The Riddler.
