Joseph Gordon-Levitt Wants to Play a Superhero After Getting a Taste of Batman

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has hinted that he would like to play a superhero in the future.

The actor stars as policeman John Blake in The Dark Knight Rises but refused to directly answer whether or not he would like to bring a comic book hero to life at some point in his career.

"Everybody should play a superhero, whether the cameras are rolling or not," he said.

Gordon-Levitt was honoured with the opportunity to play a part in Christopher Nolan’s epic trilogy after working with the director on Inception.

"It's an honour, a deep honour. I've loved Batman ever since I was a little kid, and I've particularly loved Mr Nolan's movies," he divulged.

"I remember when Batman Begins came out and I said to myself, 'Oh, the filmmaker who is making Memento is making a Batman film. That's really interesting - I'm going to see that'. I loved it, and then The Dark Knight was just about the coolest thing I've ever seen in a movie theatre, so to be a part of this third one, I feel really grateful and very lucky."

The final installment of the trilogy is in cinemas now and Gordon-Levitt said that it is being received well by Batman fans.

"It's a very good ending. Sometimes they make a second sequel and they call it a trilogy, but it's just another sequel to make more money," he explained.

"This is a very satisfying ending. There was a beginning, a middle and now this is the conclusion."
