Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be seen as John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.
It is rumored he is Azrael.
“It is odd we have actors such as Joseph Gordon Levitt portray John Blake, “a Gotham City beat cop”, who could possibly be Azrael, who is incidentally an “ex-cop” who gained enhanced strength and reflexes after being experimented on by evil scientist Doctor Hurt, who actor Alon Abutbul’s character could possibly play; a “Mad Scientist”. Now this piece of plot starts clicking and suggests that Azrael is the character Joseph Gordon Levitt will portray, who was also originally a character who was supposed to be a replacement batman (or hero) if something happened to Batman designed by the Gotham Police.”
Azarel Azrael is the name of several fictional characters in the DC Comics universe. They are a group of assassins who were created by The Order of St. Dumas to “enforce god’s will”. The name is from the traditional Angel of Death.
