Christian Bale reveals that Heath Ledger insisted that he really be hit during The Dark Knight’s famous interrogation room scene.
Either way, its hard to imagine that Joker wouldn’t have made some type of appearance in what ended up being The Dark Knight Rises, had Ledger lived.
While The Dark Knight is packed full of iconic scenes, perhaps none are more memorable than the famous interrogation room confrontation between Ledger’s Joker and Christian Bale’s Batman.
The rumored plan prior to Ledger’s untimely death was that The Joker would have played a major role in The Dark Knight’s sequel, although that assertion has been disputed.
