The Joker will not be back to battle Batman.

Christopher Nolan has confirmed that he will not use a new actor to play the villain Heath Ledger dazzlingly redefined in “The Dark Knight.”

“For me, Heath was the definitive Joker,” says Nolan. “It wouldn’t feel appropriate to readdress that character.”
