Anyone who tried to replace Ledger (at least so soon after his death), would almost certainly fail- either he'd try to do it differently and be hated from changing the character so much, or he'd be criticised for being a carbon copy of Ledger's joke. I can't see a way anyone could make it work. There's no need to bring the Joker back, so it shouldn't be done.

Apparently Scarecrow is a guard on the convicts ferry at the end of TDK, which means he has obviously escaped, if that is so then i expect to see him in the next film.
Geez that is freaking awesome! Have you seen this for yourself or is this something you have read somewhere?
I wish I knew that before I went to watch TDK for a second time! I would have kept an eye out for Crane when the ferry part came on.
If he does return in a third Batman movie, one thing I hope Nolan does is give the guy a costume! I don't really like seeing Crane wear the Scarecrow mask with a suit.
I could understand in Begins why he would do this, but in TDK, the short scene that had Crane in should have showed him in a full scarecrow type costume. But then he was at a "business" meeting I suppose...

Excellent words and Chris Nolan himself agrees

Yeah, that's so true. Maybe make a reference towards him, but bringing someone in would kind of be spitting on Heath's work.
Not "spitting on his work"... In fact, it wouldn't be disrespectful at all... Anyone who thinks that he'd be disrespecting Ledger, I'm not entirely sure why you think that...
It'd just be a stupid thing to do...
