In Dark Knight Rises, we see a bit of history of what has happened to Gotham in the past 8 years.
Batman in seclusion, criminals being locked up for being part of organized crime, and Gordon's guilt from what happened with Dent.
However, there seems to be absolutely no mention of the Joker at all during the movie, not even a hint at what happened to him after being apprehended. In comparison, Crane has been seen across all three movies and given some sort of wrap-up.
Granted, it is a tad hard to film anything new with the death of the actor.
But is there any reason Nolan gave on why he wouldn't at least give us a visual hint at the Joker being locked up (example being a pan across a door reading EXTREMELY DANGEROUS) or him escaping into hiding (example: Gordon saying to a fellow officer that "The Madman still got away")?
Answer
As per this link:
Director Christopher Nolan decided against referencing Heath Ledger's The Joker character in the new Batman film, insisting acknowledging the "real-life tragedy" of the late star was "inappropriate"....
He explains, "We're not addressing The Joker at all. That is something I felt very strongly about in terms of my relationship with Heath and the experience I went through with him on The Dark Knight. I didn't want to in any way try and account for a real-life tragedy. That seemed inappropriate to me. We just have a new set of characters and a continuation of Bruce Wayne's story, not involving The Joker."
