DKR novelization reveals Joker's what happened to Joker, I think

I started a similar topic last week - but according to the novelization, “Now that the Dent Act had made it all but impossible for the city’s criminals to cop an insanity plea, it (Blackgate Prison) had replaced Arkham Asylum as a preferred location for imprisoning both convicted and suspected felons. The worst of the worst were sent here, except for the Joker, who, rumor had it, was locked away as Arkham’s sole remaining inmate. Or perhaps he had escaped. Nobody was really sure. Not even Selina.”

- Well, at least they had an okay, explanation - people said that they were glad he didn't appear in the film by being replaced or just a stand in... Now that I think about it, I'm glad too -

because it's not the movie?

@moywar700: Yeah - but even though it's not canon it still continues from Dark Knight - even though THAT novelization wasn't canon either.

@moywar700:Weird because isn't the novelization just the movie but in book form?

I like to think that the novelizations are like the Director's Cut where they can go into much further detail on what the characters are thinking and the motivations behind their actions. One of my favorite novelizations is the one for Kingdom Come where during the battle between Captain Marvel and Superman they reveal that the reason why Superman has always been vulnerable to magic is because he simply never believed in it and the moment that he does start to believe is when the battle turns and he's able to get the upper hand for a moment

you guys can believe whatever you want but I won't accept it unless Nolan or state that it's canon.
