      No doubt about that: Nolan had Ra’s Al Ghul and Scarecrow come back in the sequels, in a way or another, so it’s certain a huge villain like Joker would’ve had a second match with the bat…

      The first two films set up a lot that I think were just building the world of Batman, in a never-ending way. The third film put the kibosh on that by ending Bruce Wayne's story arc. But Robin taking over also felt like a setup for the audience to imagine Batman's future that we'll never see. I find it insufferable that people keep expecting everything to be sequel bait when that teasing is a part of the fun of a story.

Also the assertion was the “you and I are destined to do this together” line is proof they wanted to bring the Joker back but now that I’ve debunked that assertion with what Batman literally said 3 seconds later, now we have to rely on other iterations to justify the non-existent plans to bring back the Joker? You are really grasping at straws here, pee-wee.

      I don’t think anything got derailed. If you look at the story arc for Bruce Wayne that Nolan achieved across the three films, Joker’s arc closes with the end of Dark Knight. If he had returned it would have been a cameo role similar to Crane presiding as judge over the kangaroo court. Nolan would never sacrifice story over popularity of a character so the idea that joker would have had a major role in Rises just bc he was a popular character shows a lack of understanding for how Nolan develops stories…

Or perhaps if Two Face still met his fate in the Dark Knight, would've used a different villain alongside the Joker like Hush or Black Mask or Deathstroke or Penguin or even Harley Quinn.
    I also wonder what a third film would've looked like with Riddler as the villain, only the mind can ponder and wonder though I suppose. RIP Heath Ledger, the one and only Joker.

    Here's what I reckon could've made for a really cool idea if The Dark Knight Rises was a 2 parter. You know how Bruce just appears in Gotham for the 3rd act? What if Act 2 of part 2 was Batman's journey to get to Gotham and needing to find allies (either other DC heroes, characters from prior films or new characters) to not only get him to Gotham but fight. And while Talia Al Ghul's twist was heavily established-I think a neat idea would be Batman fighting Bane' goons and finally meeting Bane in a penthouse only to discover Bane has been dead for some weeks and killed by another villain. Talia, Ra's (not really dead), Scarecrow, Joker or someone else and they've been pretending to be Bane since his death.
    Also the two parter could've allowed not only The Dark Knight trilogy to set up Man of Steel, but allowed that franchise to have Christian Bale come into conflict with Superman (and Joseph Gordon Levitt's Robin)

    Since Batman, Joker and Two Face pretty much wiped out the mob.
    In between movies Penguin and Black Mask rose up and started a war to control Gotham’s underworld.
    And as Batman becomes a problem for them they start looking to hire hired killers and such and in comes Bane. But Bane has his own motives and is simply using Black Mask and Penguins pawns.
    Gordan and Batman can even mention that ever since the Joker, the old style
    Mobsters kind of went away and replaced with more violent and “colorful “ personalities.

    I always felt the Dark Knight Rises ended too abruptly and just crammed so much in one film. A two-parter would given the story more gravitas. And having Heath Ledger’s Joker in the story would have been a fascinating dynamic. Another masterclass video on what could have been my friend.

    Well while these movies don't really strictly follow a comic structure. The third movie has ALOT and I mean ALOT surprisingly in common with Bane & the Knightfall comics already. If Heath Ledger had survived, I could definitely also still see Nolan doing this storyline. Because even if he's moreso a side character in that story, he's still incredibly impactful. They absolutely had all the pieces for that, with the only thing missing being the amount of varying villains escaping from Blackgate/Arkham.

It mentioned the Penguin and said the role could go to either Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Bob Hoskins. Now, I like Hoskins, but Hoffman would have been the perfect Penguin: elegant, refined, and smart. On the other hand, I still would have loved to see Hoskins as Perry White. Could you see him yelling, "Great Caesar's ghost! Don't call me 'chief'!"?

    Another good video.
    That's the big thing people need to remember here - there was no version of Dark Knight Rises with Joker. The character was kept alive if they needed him but they didn't already have a plan for him or anything like that so they didn't have to alter the film because of his passing, there was nothing yet. I knew Dark Knight was supposed to be 2 filns original, didn't know they thought about it for Rises as well. I think it was smart to combine the Dark Knight ones, I don't know how well that second half would have worked as a separate film, but maybe splitting Rises would have been a good idea. Part of the problem I had with the film is that it is hard to tell how much time has passed between things - throwing him in the pit and then making the audience wait 3-6 months for Part 2 would have helped with that. Plus I think there is more to work with there than what Dark Knight would have had. I think 2 films would have given the story a lot more room to work with but the film we got was still pretty good.

    Supposedly, there was a scene in the original script explaining that Bane's mask emitted aerosolized Dilaudid, which is a massively powerful opiate painkiller. It's essentially hospital grade heroin.
    The quote I remember reading from Nolan mentioned that addiction was a big part of Bane's character. The addiction, a clear backstory, and his motives setting him apart from the Joker.
    The studio nixed all of this because it was during 2010-11 which was the height of the opiate epidemic.

    I think that instead of getting thrown into a "Lazarus Pit" on the other side of the world after getting his back broken, Bruce would get imprisoned inside Arkham Asylum as the Joker's cellmate. (As a reference to what Joker said last time, "Maybe we can share one [a padded cell]")
    Maybe give a little more Joker backstory or at least motivation while testing Bruce psychologically, ending with them working together to escape and stop Bane. Before Joker inevitably goes off the rails and pursues his own cause, of course.
