Yesterday, sources including Comic Book Movie spread a rumor that Heath Ledger’s Joker was going to be Forrest Gump-ed into Christopher Nolan’s upcoming third Batman film, 2012′s The Dark Knight Rises.

Turns out, nope: according to a report today by The Hollywood Reporter, both Christopher Nolan and his wife/producing partner Emma Thomas have denied the rumor, saying that Ledger’s performance will be contained to 2008′s The Dark Knight, and that the script for No. 3 isn’t finished yet. The Dark Knight was released in July 2008, six months after Ledger passed away at age 28.

So there you go. Those of you who loved the idea, bummer. Those of you who found it inappropriate, rest easy. Those of you who were indifferent, well, go about your day. Feel free to debate further in the comments!
