The Dark Knight Rises What's Joker up too?

Good question, my friend.

 

Bane lets all the criminals loose, it really only makes sense that Joker would have been on the loose too, just like [blackout]Scarecrow.[/blackout]

The only sensible assumption is that Joker was transferred out of state.

 

Maybe he died in Jail..heart attack or something.

 

Bane only busted out the Blackgate ones because he felt they deserved to be liberated because they were locked up by Dent, whom Bane learned was not the hero he had been made out to be.

I don't see why he'd touch the Arkham inmates.

 

How do you know he was set free? He could have escaped and been in hiding for months before Bane took over. It's never stated there was an Arkham break out.

 

But wasn't Joker also locked up due largely to Dent? And Joker was one of the few people who knew the truth about Dent too.

 

Joker was locked up because he was a psychopathic terrorist lol. Him not getting parole is something that any court would rule on without the Dent act. Joker's crimes were so terrible he could never get released.

 

I figure he would be transfered to a maximum security prison far away from Gotham. Like, REALLY far.

 

Perhaps in this more realistic world nolan has created that old comic staple wouldn't hold up.

The Joker's plans in TDK despite what he claimed were all very premeditated and claims of insanity would not hold up for him.

So either he was executed or transferred to an out of state super-max.

 

Just because you plead doesn't mean the judge and jury agree. Given all the planning, they surely would have thrown it out. Hell he should have been sent to federal prison for something.

 

He got the death penalty.

 

Bane probably came by Arkham...took one look at him and said "no this one stays in the box"

The Joker told him about his scars.

 

He died sometime in the eight-year gap.

 

He is still catatonic

Spoiler

Until "The Dark Knight Returns" comes out...

 

I figure if he's alive he's sitting in his own pit somewhere.

 

I wonder if Heath was still alive, if he would've played the judge... I could picture The Joker wearing the white hair judge's wig giving out sentences... just classic! haha

 

This is one of my gripes with the movie. I know Nolan took Heath's death hard but it's kinda dis respectful to the fans of Batman and the movies and to Heath himself to NOT acknowledge his fantastic performance in the previous movie. I mean Dent and Rachel gets referenced why not Joker,Batman's defining villian? The could have simply said Joker was transferred out of Gotham city to another prison or something like that. Just not mentioning him at all was a stupid idea. He played a BIG part in Bruce retiring in the first place.

 

That would've been neat.

But alas...

But, he's in our minds & hearts.

 

Who knows? Maybe he was sent to a maximum security federal prison outside of Gotham, maybe the politicians didn't want him in Gotham in case of an escape.

 

Maybe he pulled a bruce wayne—

Spoiler

broke out of prison and moved to France
