According to a new report from Variety, Gordon-Levitt's character is also known as the "Holiday Killer." He is the heir to his father's mob empire and ruthlessly kills competing gangsters over holidays in an attempt to gain ground in their ongoing turf wars.

This will be the second recent collaboration for Gordon-Levitt and director Christopher Nolan. The pair also worked together on Nolan's 2010 smash hit "Inception." The next edition of the Batman series is titled "The Dark Knight Rises" and is due in theaters on July 20, 2012.
