For me, a Heath Ledger look alike will do. I think Johnny Depp will do good, They were both in "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" and they look very much alike. See.

You CAN have too much of a good thing. Thats why I don't think the next Batman movie should have the Joker in it again. Okay, something like a cameo appearance or a mention, or like a flash shot of his cell and a shadow just sitting in the middle of the room. But thats it. You don't get to see his face, you don't get to hear his voice, you just get to feel his presence. Just to wet the appetite. I think it would leave a much better impression.
Next movie should have a different villain. Riddler is always welcome, maybe Hush? He could be a great broken mirror image of Batman. Penguin? Not in the main villain role, but sure. My bet is on the Riddler though.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be an interesting choice, but he'd have to adhere to Heath Ledger's portrayal pretty closely.
I actually like the idea of The Dark Knight Returns a few years after the 2nd movie, and a slightly older Joker being portrayed by Johnny Depp if Christopher Nolan is set on revisiting the character.

Now, first of all, DDL is one of my favorite actors. Definitely among the top 5 and sometimes I rate him the best. I love My Left Foot, Last of the Mohicans and Gangs of New York.
But I wouldn't want him to play Joker. I think he's about 20 years older than Ledger (though, he looks great for his age) and is, IMO, a completely different sort of actor (and of much greater caliber). He could copy Ledger's mannerisms, but it would make me feel kind of hollow (partly because, although Ledger did pretty good, there's room for improvement which this continuity no longer allows).
Gordon-Levitt might be able to pull it off as he is Ledger's age, looks a lot like a him and has proven himself as an actor.
Though I love the Nolanverse Batman movies, I kind of wish the slate could be again be wiped clean and the key roles be recast. Joker's role might be one of those that has become untouchable for quite some time. Adrien Brody could have done a Killing Joke-esque Joker (he even kind of looks like him in that), but his appearance is so radically different from Ledger is not possible in this movie series.
All in all, I'm very much for the idea of bringing Joker back. I want him to taunt Batman from inside his asylum cell.

Jack told Heath not to do it because it brings you to dark places, and we know what Heath said about it, and what it caused him.
*rolleyes*
OH PUH-LEEZE! Ledger didn't die beacuse of his role as the Joker. He died because he OD'd after a long time of insomnia (which he had long before signing up for DK).
And Nicholson didn't say anything about the role affecting anyone's mind. He was just being a vain prick because someone else was cast for a role he is well known for.
