Trivia: Where Was The Joker In ‘The Dark Knight Rises?’ By Germain Lussier/July 26, 2012 7:00 am EST Obviously, the Joker is not in The Dark Knight Rises because Heath Ledger tragically passed away before the release of The Dark Knight.

The solution: send in a bunch of soldiers with machine guns to cut down the emu population. That’s weird enough as it is, but the story gets even stranger/better, because while many birds were killed, the emu population continued to thrive....
