According to Variety, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti and Joey King are all onboard Christopher Nolan’s final Batman production. Modine, whose credits include “Full Metal Jacket” and “Any Given Sunday,” has been cast to play a character named Nixon. Ironically, Modine played a character named “Joker” in “Full Metal Jacket.”

However, it’s unknown who or what Conti and King will be playing in "The Dark Knight Rises."

Scottish actor Conti was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards for “Reuben, Reuben” and has been on Broadway in addition to films. Eleven-year-old King may be a relative newcomer to the acting scene, but she has an impressive resume at her age, having starred as Ramona in “Ramona and Beezus,” based on Beverly Cleary’s books.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is set to be released in July 2012.
