Thanks DMczaf, I have so many more awesome desktops thanks to you :]
The more I think about it, the more I believe that Nolan probably didn't have an outline for the next film while he was making this one. He's a guy who just lays it all out on the table, puts it all on screen, then moves onto his next film. The joker doesn't have to come back and I don't think he was banking on that idea before heath's death. He'll cook up something good. He always does.
this is probably most accurate.
nolan has said in multiple interviews when asked about the third movie that he never makes the movies with a sequel in mind. that he tries to put as much possible in the current movie and worries about a sequel later.
that does not mean he does not set up certain things. like the Joker reveal at the end of the first.
or the death of dent. certain things we can piece together.
my whole point is that i have total faith in nolan in whatever he decides to do. re cast the joker vs not bringing the joker back. its not like i want the joker back but at the same time a part of me wants to see a equally talented actor try it.
but whatever it may be it would fit the purpose/theme of the third movie which to me is more important. if nolan does the third movie it will be because they have a great story/script in place which further explores the tragedy of BATMAN. and this time i really hope the central focus is back on Batman.

just call the 3rd film "batman".
no villains, just batman dealing with the fucked up situation he is now in.
gotham thinks he is a killer and the murderer of dent, he has the whole city against him.
now that's a super villain.
that could also work very well. actually i like that idea a lot. but for Batman to be hunted, Batman needs to be in action. and for Batman to be in action there needs to a criminal threat. he does not just come out for petty crimes. they set up the fact that he is trying to clean up the city by getting rid of the mob. which he does by the end of the Dark Knight.
he wouldn't be risking himself for a everyday mugging. there needs to be a threat. maybe not on such a large scale....that's why i think the Riddler would fit perfectly.
nolan works well with non linear story telling, puzzles, and twists. imagine him working with the Riddle character coming up with puzzles for Batman to solve all the while he is being hunted by the police. the identity of the Riddler could not be a mystery since whoever is selected for the role would be known, but it could be the motivation for Batman to continue coming out and stopping crime. Riddler could be the threat that gets him to risk his own identity/self while still protecting the city.
the Riddler could also be someone who commits crimes and then blames it on Batman by leaving clues that would suggest it was Batman. all the while Batman realizes how twisted he has become himself, how he has lost everything he loved, cant quit Batman, and how to the very public he protects he is the super villain.
