I know everyone’s really getting sick of Batman rumors, but this one doesn’t come from a British newspaper or a half-assed blog. It comes from the hard-working folks at Moviehole, where they’re not prone to leading their readers astray.

According to MH’s Clint, there’s a chance, just a chance mind you, that both Joker and Two-Face may show up in the next Batman. Earlier this morning we told you that Aaron Eckhart is already softening on his “Two-Face is dead” stance, and while Heath Ledger is gone that doesn’t mean someone else couldn’t play the Joker character. Word was that before Ledger’s death their plan was to carry the character over to the next film anyway. As brilliant as Ledger was and as tragic his death, the character really is bigger than a single performance.

This is by no means a certain thing. MH’s report merely indicates that it’s an idea being discussed internally over at Warner Brothers. If you’re a fan of the Joker as a character, it’s nice to know his return may no longer be considered an impossibility.
