Yes, but I'm trying to make the point that that it was Heath Ledger's iconic last performance that really bolstered his new level of pop villainy. In terms of Male Villains, I don't think that The Joker would be going as strong in this tournament if it wasn't for The Dark Knight.
Not to belittle The Joker at all - He's one my absolute favorite comic book villains and he is iconic within the annuls of comic book and comic book adaptation culture. I just think that Ledger's performance gives the Joker character a significant advantage over Erik... So a counter argument had to be made.
That or I just like being argumentative. :D
