Spoiler Warning!
Many fans of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy might be wondering where The Joker wnet after the prisoners were freed from the newly constructed
Blackgate Prison in Gotham City. Well, the novelization of “The Dark Knight Rises” may shed some light on the Clown Prince of Crime’s whereabouts.
The official novelization, which was writen by author Greg Cox, delves into the Jonathan and Christopher Nolan screenplay a little closer.

Original rumors had Heath Ledger’s Joker making a cameo via unused footage from The Dark Knight, but it never panned out as such. Warner Bros. Studio later
confirmed it was just a rumor. Cox provides better details and lets fans know about the shady and ambiguous fate of the Joker. Here is the exact quote from
the novel:
“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
the 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.”
Note: From a historical standpoint, Adolf Hitler's Deputy Leader of the Nazi Party Rudolph Hess was convicted and sentenced to life in Spandau Prison
on Oct. 1, 1946. He was the sole occupant from 1966 until his apparent suicide in 1987. If you apply this form of punishment to the Joker, there would be
no one for him to interact with, which would drive him further into the depths of his madness.
