Tom Hardy has reportedly signed on for the third Batman movie.
It's unknown what role the British actor will play in the movie but it will be the second time that Hardy has worked with director Christopher Nolan after collaborating on Inception this summer.
Hardy and Inception co-star Joseph Gordon Levitt have been linked to Batman 3 for some times, with some suggestions that the could play the Riddler.
While the script has been written by David Goyer it is not yet known who the adversary for Batman will be this time around.
It has been a successful couple of years for Hardy with Bronson, RocknRolla and the massive box office hit Inception earlier this year.
The actor has already completed working on Warrior and is filming Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy and This Means War.
And while Batman is in the pipeline so is Mad Max: Fury Road, a project that has been on the table for some time.
