[Boom]

Aronofsky's Year One and Burton's Batman 3.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Superman Lives. Just...because.

 

[Rocketman]

Aronofsky's Year One and Burton's Batman 3.

Definitely Burton's Batman 3 for me, but I still think to this day that Spider-Man 4 would've been great, and a return to form on the level of 1 and 2.

Sony could've seriously done six or seven Spider-Man movies with Tobey Maguire, all as one continuous movie series. They made one misstep - all they had to was get up and dust themselves off and try again.

Also:

11. Jodorowsky's Dune.

 

[Shikamaru]

Nolan's Batman 3 (had Heath lived), with Aronofsky's Year One being in second place.

 

[Rocketman]

I have a feeling Ledger's role wouldn't have been as the main villain anyway, but I do think he would've been a more extended version of the judge in City Hall instead of Jonathan Crane (Cillian Murphy).

So in other words, The Dark Knight Rises is exactly as is, with Joker as the judge with a lot more scenes, and actual mentions of Joker's existence and how he escaped from Arkham during Bane's rule.

 

[Venom75]

Raimi's Spider-man 4. I love both Anne Hathaway and Black cat. Although,I've never been a Vulture fan. Would've much rather seen the Lizard. But I loved the trilogy. It would've been nice to see Raimi and Maguire do at least one more film together.

 

[Snow Queen]

Ledger in The Dark Knight Rises (assuming it would have had the same title), Aronofsky's Year One would be my second choice.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Burton's Batman 3.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Burton's Batman 3.

I'm pretty sure Nolan's third Batman film would have been pretty different had Heath lived. That and Aronofsky's Batman are the most intriguing to me.

Not sure about that. I think Nolan's 3rd Batman movie would have been a pretty different film than TDKR had Heath lived.

 

[Symbiotic]

Batman Triumphant all the way.

 

[Gort Baringa]

I would have like to have seen Alex Proyas' Paradise Lost.

 

[Visceral]

Oliver Stone's Apes

 

[titansupes]

Oooh, this is a good question.

I have to say Ledger's Joker in Nolan's Batman 3. I love, LOVE The Dark Knight Rises the way it is, but I'll always wonder what the fulfillment of "I think you and I are destined to do this forever" would have looked like. So I have to go with that.

Close runner-ups - Burton's Batman 3 and Superman Lives.

 

[John Locke]

Ledger as Joker in Nolan's third Batman. I wanted to see how he would fit into Rises. I don't see Bane letting him be the judge. I honestly think he would team up with Batman or at least rebel against Bane. Joker's all about chaos and while Bane's plan was chaotic it was organized chaos.

 

[AnneFan]

Batman 3 by Tim Burton.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Burton's 3rd Batman
