How sad are you that we won't have Joker in part 3?

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.

When all of the Marvel movies are planning to come out....that's not bad timing?

I prefer to thank of it like this: That will be the year of the comic book with what should be great movies.

It will be three years before the next one will be out. That should be enough time for us to be over Heath's death and we can accept someone else playing Joker. Yes, Heath has set the bar really high, but we can't retire the character with his long history because of it.
Idea: he's interred in Arkham, and while there plastic surgeons decide to see if they can repair his face. Joker plays a joke on them, and his face gets messed up even more just to amuse himself. That could help in covering how someone else has been cast for the part. And maybe he shouldn't be the main baddie, but he's pulling strings on the outside from his cell.

How about another Aussie for the part - Guy Pearce, the star of Christopher Nolan's 'Memento?'

It could work, hows his acting?

Looks like a similar facial structure.

Maybe for another franchise, but certainly not this one.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Joker return as a different actor. As long as the actor has talent and follows the template that was set for the Joker's character in the Dark Knight.

I just don't see how anyone else can disappear into the character like Heath did. I have seen this movie five times and I still can't see Heath Ledger in the film.

i feel that way about daniel day lewis. You're right, he did a good job at immersing himself entirely into the character.

Ledger can be recast for the 3rd film. It has happen before in other movies, and it can happen here also. There are plenty of actors with talent that can pull off the Joker. Ledger was not the end all, be all Joker. Dont get me wrong, he did amazing, but I belive if the Joker can be in a 3rd movie, He can be recast.

I can't think of a successful recast in a major role though (outside of Bond of course).

I can't either. You think of him maybe in between the Joker scenes, but when he's on screen he's literally the Joker and Heath Ledger no more. Recasting would not only be pointless, but would piss off a lot of people. And with the respect Nolan had for Heath & the way he talks about Heath being such a good friend & actor, he doesn't even plan to do so, and I'm glad about that.

Bond did great in there recast(Out of 20 plus movies, a few failed, but hey most were pretty good)

I sure other movies had great recast, not grade A movies of couse.

Roots had a great recast with Kinta Kunta, We had young 20 year old Kinta Kunta, and than the 30-40 year old Kinta Kunta for the 3rd movie.

Well, Heath's Joker can't be recast, that's fact. Anyone who they get will be a letdown & come off as a poor imitation.

I can't see what actor would actually WANT that responsibility of "re-portraying" Nolan's Joker.

Everyone respects what he did a little too much to just say "Hey, Nolan, how about Heath's Joker? He was so awesome...can I play him?"

👆 maybe not "poor" but not nearly as good.

Wasn't Heath Ledger a recast...

No. This is a completely different series. There is no continuum between Batman (89) and The Dark Knight.

This is a restart....
