I don't see the need for the Joker in the next movie. They can mention him at the start, or during it.

Maybe Batman goes to Arkham in the course of his investigations, and as we walk by a cell we hear the Jokers voice saying "You complete me" and thats it.

My hope is that they don't follow the grundgy phycho formula and make the Riddler a over the top crazy killer. It would be too joker like.

There's no doubt in my mind that there will be other Batman movies after Nolan and probably Bale leave at the end of this third one. They can reboot Joker then.

But the performance by Ledger was so strong, and I would still to see the backstory of his joker because to me he's so much like a failed psychology student who's world crumbled around him and drove him to perform his experiments on the failures of individuals and society.

I still go back to the big lie on the Jokers part when he's talking to Dent and he basically states that he doesn't have a plan, and he's like a dog chasing cars, he wouldn't know what do do when he got there. But everything he did was planned to the 9th degree, with the goal in mind of corrupting Batman.

Any performance by any actor playing the joker is going to be dissected and discussed in great and gory detail with the conclusion being that he's a weak contender to Ledger.

Honestly I would have loved to see a Joker movie with no Batman, thats like an origin movie.

I want to see what gave him the scars, and where he came from.

I want I want I want.
