Blab Blab Blab: Is Aaron Eckhart Coming Back for Batman 3?

"To recreate what Heath has done...I just don't think it's gonna happen. That's my instinct. Obviously, Heath was supposed to reprise the role in the next one; it was written that way. I don't know if they're going to go on. I suspect they will not have the Joker."
—Former Batman baddie Aaron Eckhart when asked at the Comic-Con panel for his latest flick, Battle: Los Angeles, whether he thought Heath Ledger's Oscar-winning Joker would be recast for the third installment of the superhero franchise
Looks like we can put our clown makeup away because director Christopher Nolan realizes exactly why we're so serious that Heath's psychotic criminal mastermind remain untouched. Why have another actor try to fill Heath's shoes when he recreated the character so perfectly, no?
But what about A.E.'s own fate as a foe of the Dark Knight?
