Studio says role of Joker is done. No appearance in Batman 3

[MIB41]

Apparently the studio will not re-examine the role of the Joker for the third Christopher Nolan installment. Not really a surprise, but here's the current story for that production.

Batman 3 Execs Definitely Won't Try To Replace Heath Ledger For Joker Role

[BlackKnight]

Good.
There should have never been a Debate imo, .. move on to the Next Villian.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Agreed. I think if Ledger had lived, Nolan's 3rd Bat-flick would have featured him. But it would be bad mojo to recast that role, since he pretty much owned it after that movie.

Gimmie Some Johnny Depp Riddler Action !

Chris

Totally agree...Heath is irreplaceable.

Bring on Killer Croc...

I'd take him or ManBat with the Riddler.
Lets push Batman Physically, as well as Mentally this time.

Bring on Killer Croc...SC

Yeah . . . and take him back to how the character was when they introduced him -- not big reptillian guy like the gown (the way some of the artists have been drawing him over the years) or the big, dangerous dope they played im as on BTAS, but the dangerous guy disfigured by a skin condition who got kicked out of pro wrestling for filing his teeth for effect, and is now ruthlessly taking out rival mobn bosses to take control of Gotham's underworld.

Ruthless disfigured pro-wrestler with filed teeth? I think that would fit well in Nolan's continuity. Good call!

[B-Lister]

I Really think they're making a mistake not giving us Robin.

[clemso]

Johnny Depp has the chops to play the Joker imo

[jwyblejr]

They'll have to find someone else to be the Joker sooner or later. After seeing how nuts he was this past Monday,my vote goes to WWE wrestler,Edge.

[kennermike]

Bring on the BookWorm!

I'd like to see Black Mask or Bane (but done properly this time). Bane would challenge him both physically and mentally so that would be good. Black Mask is a scary mofo.

I'd like to see Robin too but I'm not sure how well he'd fit in with this. Maybe just Dick Grayson but not as Robin. Just as a kid he adopts. Maybe do the whole Tony Zucco/Circus story. I'm not betting it will happen.

Robin won't appear as long as Chris Nolan is directing. He's already mandated...NO ROBIN! And Nolan as earned WB's trust now(after giving them billion Dollar Box Office numbers).
