The Joker Will Not Return

Batman 3 villain speculation continues.

June 4, 2010

Director Christopher Nolan has said that the Joker will not be returning in Batman 3 or any other subsequent bat-films as long as he's helming the franchise. From the latest issue of Empire Magazine:

"'No,' says Nolan emphatically and unhesitatingly. He resists elaborating simply because, quite understandably, he says, 'I just don't feel comfortable talking about it.'"



Nolan's Dark Knight incaration of the Joker was portrayed by Heath Ledger, who won a posthumous Academy Award for his performance in the film.

With The Clown Prince completely out of the running for the next installment, the question remains as to who will be the villain in Batman 3.

If they can change James Bond, they can change the fukking Joker. Give me a break...

I thinks its because no one can match that performance, that was one of the most memorable characters of all time imo.

Johnny Depp or Crispin Glover could play the part well.

[alukk]

I think its because they change villain every movie. And agree whit burrito, no one can match that performance, one of the greatest all times

Christopher Nolan is known for being very loyal to his actors which is a major reason why he wouldn't recast the Joker.

Johnny Depp or Crispin Glover could play the part well.

maybe, but johnny depp strikes me as the riddler type.

Crispin Glover

Why would they need to habve the joker? they just had him, how about the riddler, oh wait, we already had all those guys in the PREVIOUS incarnation of Batman with Val Kilmer/Michael Keaton/George Clooney

would love to see Johnny do this although it would be hard to replace Ledger's performance.

There are a lot of good villains in Batman. Hopefully they give the Bane angle another try from the Knightfall series.

Too bad Bale didn't die. Can't stand him as Batman.

[poochiecollins]

I never saw The Dark Knight in theaters. How important is it to watch with a good television and sound?

Also, who would be the worst actors to play The Joker?

No question.

hollywood pretends those movies never existed, it was a dark time for the batman series.

I'd only say that the one with Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy was terrible. The others that I remember were okay.

Batman Forever was awful too.

[stealthyburrito]

Batman Forever was awful too.

yes it was, so was batman returns, with the penguin and catwoman.

the first batman with jack nicholson as the joker was ok i guess.

Wow... guy got fat! WTF is up with Val Kilmer's neck?

What's up with the candy-encrusted flacid penis shit he's wearing for a necklace?

OP already debunked this when he said "If they can replace James Bond...."

[HauntingTheHoly]

And maybe my memory is foggy, but isn't Harvey Two-Face gonna be in the next batman? He didn't die last time, did he?

[Jericholic]

Yeah, he died. I would love to see Nolan's take on The Riddler for the third film.

[Naz18]

Bring back Mr. Freeze lol

[JimmysEgo]

Harley Quinn seeking revenge for the joker would be cool. She is hot.
