RUMOR: Heath Ledger to Cameo in The Dark Knight Rises?

;P

Wow, that would be amazing if done right. Would be good to have a "cameo" of Heath on that, not only for continuity but for a tribute to him.
Nice find @Hawks!

It would be interesting, but I don't believe it.

I reckon its CGI tho, but heck they used some of that in TDK and I didn't see it, did anyone?

I want to see the Joker again, but without Ledger I don't feel the same.

H*ll yeah!:D

Just re-cast the Joker already.

He died and it was tragic, but come on people.

The Joker has been played by so many actors, give someone else a try. If Bale died, would they not re-cast someone else as Batman?

excellent! fingers crossed.

Nolan Will Do it Good Taste and Respect..

I remember reading that Nolan removed some scenes and footage from TDK specifically for this purpose. I also remember reading that at the time (pre-release of TDK) Ledgers family already gave Nolan the go-ahead to use the scenes and footage in the next film. I'm trying to find the article in my archives, and if I do I'll post it.

I'd love to see some more of Health as the Joker! Here are my thoughts (as if they mattered) on what I want to see. Maybe a scene in the beginning of the movie with him getting admitted to Arkham and being transported to the maximum security wing by a handful of doctors including a young blond official looking woman holding a file on Joker wearing a Dr. Quinzel name badge. Maybe he winks at her and then asks her if she wants to know how he got his scars. And then maybe at the very and of the movie we get another scene at Arkham. Its the middle of the night and we see the same Dr. Quinzel sneaking back into the the maximum security wing. She starts humming, walks (maybe the occasional schoolgirl skip thrown in) down the corridor. As she walks we only see her from the small of the back down. Maybe we even see a shadowy figure in another cell flipping a coin in the air as she makes her way to the Joker. When she reaches his cell she knocks lightly on the door and then screams "MR. J!!!!" as the camera pans out we see the Jokers eyes open and his scarred smile flicker in the moonlight. We then hear his maniacal laugh echo Arkham as they pan farther and we see Dr. Quinzel now in pigtails and HARLEY gratuitously scribbled over her name badge. END MOVIE.

What Rickly Said...

Heath Ledger is the sh*t!!!Please Nolan make this happen!!!

Oh and check out my Superman/Doomsday fan poster

All you need is a scene with a young female therapist walking out of a room, with strange hearing ledger in the background speaking. the dr claims that joker is the real victim and they can't speak with him at the moment as she is having break thru and she returns to the room closign the door.

everyone would get to see quinn for a few secs, for next film or towards this films end.

Thanks BIGBMH: I missed that. It's corrected now.

Just recast him already. Yes, he was great, but he is now dead. Why should we as fans be cheated out of one of the greatest villains of all time because the last actor was a drug addict. Yes, I said it, DRUG ADDICT. No one can ever play the joker again cause he couldn't kick that shit? Doesn't seem right to me, I agree with a previous post, if Bale died they would certainly recast him.

I LOVE THIS IDEA. RIP Heath Ledger

i would like to see them do that, i think it would be a nice gesture.

Sounds great, they're actually using footage of him...not some crappy CGI Joker or something, so yeah I'm all for it!

that would be awesome, can't u just see him in his cell saying as batman passes:
"You've changed things for ever... there's no going back you see to them you're just a freak... like me."

No no no no no no no no and no! This wont happen and shouldnt happen and is just a dumb rumour.

BMP!

don't mind either way,use unseen heath ledger footage or just recast the role.

Ledger does not own the Joker, the part is bigger than he is, just as Superman was bigger than Reeve. That said just recast the damn part already. I will never understand why some (outside of his family)folks boo-hoo like they had some sort of personal stake in that role or his demise. He was good, but now hes dead, shit happens the show must go on.

okay so here is where I stand Heath did such a great Job as the joker SUCH a GREAT job that it would be easy to recast as a small part.... let me explain heath did it all came up with the style the voice the laugh the mannerisms all and actor now would have to do is Mimicry not acting heath gave us a better than expected joker and that was his genius and talent it would not be hard to do well in a small capacity

thegoon3423 you right. I'm sick of The Joker as a character is 100000 times bigger than OVERRATED Heath. And everyone who wants to agure you know its true. It WILL NOT I repeat WILL NOT be a big deal if someone else is the Joker. End of Story. I am fed up with all the BS.

I will say it again THE CHARACTER IS BIGGER THAN THE ACTOR!!!!!!!! OK? Ok! Is it true? OF COURSE IT IS!!!!!! Got it yet? You'd better. IT IS NOT AND WILL NOT be the end of the world if he is recast, it happend thousands of times.

Also if there's a new film series and someones else plays the role, GOOD!!! Ledger is not hard to top. The best thing he could have done is die as no one would dare moan and bitch about out of fear of insulting his memory. Thats a horrible thing to say but its the truth.

That would be goddamn super cool.
