I am – Hercules!! “No,” Jonathan Nolan tells Empire Magazine when asked if the Joker will appear in Nolan’s third “Batman” movie. I applaud his resolve. There’s no reason to sully what was the finest depiction of Batman’s most iconic nemesis. Best to explore new avenues rather than hire Jeffrey Weissman or somebody to dilute in our memories “The Dark Knight’s” brilliance. There’s still no word on which villain(s) the next movie will employ (Nolan says it won’t be Victor Fries either), but I know who I want.
