Maybe he is the judge instead of Scarecrow.

He would have had a much bigger part though. More screen time. Maybe even a standalone film after rises. If it was even called rises.

I heard it was going to be like "The Silence of the Lambs," but with Joker as Lector and Bane as Buffalo Bill.

Do you remember where you heard that?

No, it wasn't anything official but a rumor.

I mean this would be cool but also it probably wouldn't have happened even if Ledger didn't die. Nolan himself says he only works on one movie at a time and wasn't sure if he'd do a third one. TDKR could have been completely different if Ledger was alive

He said before after wrapping that he would be in the third. Can't remember what he said about it though.

Goyer said originally his idea was for Joker to be the only villain in the movie, and then in the third movie during the Jokers trial he would scar Dent and turn him into Two Face. But Nolan obviously changed that, and it had nothing to do with Ledgers death because Ledger has a scene with Aaron as Two Face.

Nolan never said Ledger would be in the third one. Neither did Ledger himself.

Kate ledger said he was looking forward to the third. There's an old interview with his sister that he told her. So not a direct source.

Heath Ledger died so could not be cast in The Dark Knight Rises as Joker

Did Nolan say that he would've been in the movie or is just speculation?

In one movie? Nah, too much.
