If the Joker's speech to Batman at the end of the movie is any indication...

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

1. Joker would have been in the third movie.
-"you and i are destined to do this forever"
2. Joker was going to break the news to Gotham that Dent was a murderer.
- TDKR could have been Batman's fight to keep Dent's clean image alive

Which is basically the plot of TDKR, substituting Bane for Joker.
