Did The Joker appear in The Dark Knight Rises after all?
An image has landed on Reddit of a particular scene in the movie which may suggest that Heath Ledger’s Joker is on the cover of a book.
We know that the Joker wasn’t officially in the movie, but he was at least mentioned in the official novelization hinting that he escaped Arkham Asylum.
Interestingly enough, at the conclusion of The Dark Knight Rises, the Batman statue scene also seems to reveal a Joker face.
So did Nolan include a Joker Easter Egg or two?
