That I think would be acceptable by some standards, while many seem to think only Ledger should be Joker in Nolans universe and be left at that.

I think I may have discussed with you (or someone) that teh only person I think could do The Joker to the extent that Ledger did is Johnny Depp (yeah, might be cliche but hear me out)


Johnny Depp has a penant for engulfing himself in his roles and not looking like an actor playing a part, but rather the character himself.

Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, Raoul Duke, etc.

Having said taht, I still wouldnt like the Joker recast to begin with.
