How would you address this in the sequel?
Could any actor take Heath Ledger's place now? Could there be another Joker who is a different character than Ledger's Joker?

How many idiots did a Heath/Joker inpersonation on Youtube and did a damn good job........to many to count IMO.
So yes, I think a big name actor could do it. Off the top of my head I think Johnny Depp could do it.......to be honest I think that Levitt shares a lot of similarites to Heath..... in the hands of a good director who knows? But the question would be would he play his own version of The joker or would he be playing Heath as the Joker? |

Ryan Phillipe or James Franco would do an awesome job as The Joker....

I hated his role as Cobra Commander, but I think JGL could be a decent look-alike and act the part.
Someone would need to be able to pick up the character where it left off and do Ledger justice though (essentially mimicking him), or else they should just drop the character for a few films until the Ledger memory dies down a little. I don't know if that's ethical or something an actor would want to do, but I think it would be a dishonor to the brilliance he put into the character to suddenly change him all of a sudden in another film. |

As for the movie, some of the intial buzz was centering around the Riddler with Johnny Depp's name being thrown around, but that was quite a while ago so we'll see what direction they take it in. I really don't know how they'll top The Dark Knight though.

Do not recast Joker. Not Depp, or Franco and especially not Levitt. There are many other villains in Batman's universe. Until there is a reboot, and there will be, the role of the Joker is best left with Ledger' s amazing performance.

It would be a disaster, no actor wants to be compared to the best acting of all time... DONE BY SOMEONE WHO IS DECEASED! No director would ever even try it. there will be a one line explanation in the next movie and that will be all.

Batman Three: The wacky night of Killer Moth!
Yeah, I know, but let's face it, we don't need another Batman, unless we can skip over Robin altogether and introduce Night Wing as a new avenger out to take down Batman who is now a fugitive wanted in the death of Harvey Dent. |

I don't think any actor truly 'owns' any role. For certain there are actors whose roles are just irreplaceable.... Indiana Jones, Anyone from Star Wars, Bruce Campbell's 'Ash'. But they are iconic roles that each actor 'made'. That said, the Joker is an important piece to the Batman mythos and it would be ridiculous not to replace him. I loved the spin Ledger put on the character, and it's too bad that he will not be able to come back for more. But it would be the same thing if Bale died. Would we not replace Batman?
