The Dark Knight Rises: Whatever Happened to John Blake?

Following the popularity of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s John Blake character in director Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, the character was supposed to pop up in the comics.He never did, and it might be interesting to see why.For those who have forgotten already, John Blake was an idealistic young police officer who formed a relationship with Commissioner James Gordon during the third and final installment of Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. Ultimately, when Batman was presumed dead, it was Blake who came into possession of the Batcave and all of Bruce Wayne’s gear.
