Okay, some people are being extreme and saying that because Dark Knight was so good Nolan is going to step down from making a third. Based upon the end of Dark Knight and from what I understand of Nolan's character he will still make a third, and make it with just as much effort as he put into the last two films. Ledger made a damn good Joker, the best I've seen, but if according to Nolan's grand plan [and I do think he's going for an overarching story] the Joker appears in the third film then he will recast him and I think we can all trust him to get the best guy that's [still] out there. Maybe he won't be as good as Ledger but we can't say he [whoever that may be] sucks before we sit down and watch it.
Good point. In Nolan We Trust.

I'm with the Vapor, I love Ledger's Joker, and I'm sad he died before his time and cannot give us another great performace, but we cannot blame the next actor who's gonna play it, It would be immature.
No one is blaming the other actors, Heath just did the best job possible for the role of the Joker and because he set the bar sooo high, it can't be topped. And it has nothing to do with someones immature level.

Thats true. I'm glad none of them panned out..

I coulda swore I read somewhere that Nolan did'nt wanna re-cast the joker.
Nolan did say that and we all know he is a man of his word.

Nolan will do the 3rd one with Bale to complete the set and they are both probably done after this.
I can see them back for at least two or more films after the third one.

Maybe.....but Nolan stated he's done after part 3 and if he goes than Bale is gone too.

But I don't necessarily think that Nolan and Bale are gone after three. They singlehandedly brought back Batman and with so many characters to chose from I find it very hard to believe that WB will want this to end in after Batman 3

Well that's bad timing for a Batman movie...
No not really I figure three years because it was three years in between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight so I figure that WB will use the same timetable for the next one. There's no need to rush out something and it turns out to be shiite, so you let Bale and Nolan and the rest do one or two, maybe three films over the next year or two, then it will be time to start talking about what villain will be in 3 and what the plot will be.
I think we are all underestimating Nolan.
Ledger was good.
Too good to not be in another batman movie.
what would i have done had I been Nolan? Here's what I think he did.
There are plenty of deleted scenes that end up on the cutting room floor right? When the DVD comes out, we'll have new scenes and dialogue and whatever right?
Well.....I would have taken a scene from The Dark Knight with the joker, and used it in the next one! Why not right? Think he would do something like that?
maybe it'd be another scene of the Joker talking to more mob bosses? Or simply talking to himself acting crazy or something.
Thoughts?
I think it's unfair to say that no one will be able to top Heath Ledger's Joker performance. If you remember, a lot of people were against Ledger even being The Joker when he was first announced, but he pulled it off beyond everyone's expectations.
In the end, Nolan went with who he felt was best for the role despite more likely choices like Paul Bettany and Crispin Glover. I have every confidence that Nolan can do it again, and whoever he picks will live up to the role.
