For many, Heath Ledger's Joker still defines the iconic Batman villain 11 years after his Oscar winning performance set the world on fire. 2012's The Dark Knight Rises finished off director Christopher Nolan's trilogy, but with Ledger unexpectedly passing away in 2008, his presence was sorely missed. Well, what if Ledger was able to reprise his role? What if this third film was so big it had to be split into 2 parts? What if The Joker was in The Dark Knight Rises? Creativity, as you know, is like gravity...all it takes is a little push! FanScription brings you part 1 of our most epic story yet!

    Holy shit if the Joker had revealed himself in Dark Knight Rises like that, people would have jumped from their seats, it might have become one of the most amazing scenes ever
  • @striderzero2653
    If you read the novelization of Dark Knight Rises, Bane took special steps when he was freeing inmates to make sure completely the Joker would not be set free. Bane was afraid that if Joker interfered with his plans he wouldn't be able to stop him.
  • @davidriley354
    The Dark Knight Falls The Dark Knight Rises I like it.
  • @hunterrosen8157
    Imagine the Prison break Scene And bane breaks Joker out of Arkham
  • @h.haydon8044
    In the actual Dark Knight Rises, I thought it would be amazing if the Joker killed Bane instead of Catwoman. Joker says to Batman, "You're just too much fun to die."
  • @ryanstauffer119
    Ending Part One with Joker as the judge and laughing after he says “Why so serious?” was a genius move. I can definitely see the theater going crazy when they see the Clown Prince of Crime return like that and cheer and clap at that.
  • @laraleitte7620
    In the Dark Knight, Joker says “You know what? I think we’re destined to do this forever.” To batman Strangely it’s such an underrated line but i love it, because the two can’t really exist without eachother Batman is order Joker is chaos Order is the solution to chaos, but chaos is the solution to order
  • @6spoke519
    Short answer is: Heath Would've been alive. RIP Legend
  • I hope Joker isn't just a judge in these videos, he'd never limit himself to that
  • @George-real
    Imagine if heath ledger faked is death just so he could show up as a twist villain in the end of the dark knight rises
  • During the press tour for his movie 'Transcendance' Director Wally Pfister (who did cinematography for The Dark Knight trilogy) stated that Nolan did have plans to show what happened to the Joker, but it was set to be only a cameo, so as to not ruin the ending from The Dark Knight. According to Pfister, the plan was, when Bane and his cronies were taking over Gotham, they don't raid Blackgate, but raid Arkham Asylum. As they're letting prisoners loose, two thugs come to a heavily guarded door and kill the guards. As they're about to open the door, Bane approaches and stops them. There's a viewing panel on the door, and Bane slides it open and peers inside. We see Joker, in a straight jacket and gagged,,staring at the door, laughing. Bane closes the panel and says "This one would be trouble. He stays here." Him and the grunts move on, leaving the Joker imprisoned.
  • Christopher Nolan: Let’s have one Batman film with very little of Batman in it. Channel Awesome: Hold my beer! Watch us pitch TWO Batman films with little of Batman in it.
  • @nandano.1656
    What if Tim Burton directed Batman Forever and Batman & Robin?
  • @isaiahadams1208
    I like The Dark Knight Rises. And the first fight scene with Batman and Bane still gives me chills
  • @arnethynes
    As the months go on... No guards at Arkham... Who's feeding Joker?
  • @timd3469
    I tell myself: When those cops walked up to the Joker who was hanging upside down, they just shot him in the face. Maybe he tired to kick them with that shoe knife, or some other trick, or the cops just SAID he did, so they blasted him. I am not in love with this idea. But by this point in the story, the cops would have been so pissed at Joker that it makes sense.
  • @Cherrywick76
    No plane scene? This needs the plane scene. A world without baneposting is one not worth living in.
  • @Kwyjibo87
    Yes sir, I remember when I saw Crane as the judge in the theatre, I knew they were telling us "yeah, if Heath were alive he'd be the judge" like one my favourite episodes of the 92 animated series "Trial"
  • Funny cause from what I hear this was the original plan...Then Heath’s death happened and well the rest is history Now granted I think Walter used him a lot more than what Nolan had planned
