eath Ledger as the Joker

While I love this role, I feel like it's gotten to the point that's blown up bigger than it really was. I don't want to say it's overrated because that's not the right word at all, but if Ledger was still around today, I don't feel like the people would be talking about this performance like they are and, in my opinion, The Joker character himself wouldn't be as popularized as it is now outside of the comic book fan realm.
