A good point. I do find it strange, however, that Batman has become the bête noire of Gothamites. It's as if they have forgotten all about the insane clown that did all that murdering and terrorism.
Well, the Joker is locked up and Batman is free, so it's only natural that Gotham's focused on the still immediate threat.
Am I the only one that doesn't think Joker would have fit in a third plot?
Let's pretend, for a second, that Ledger didn't deliver this amazing performance. And let's pretend Joker isn't Batman's #1 enemy. The character stood for chaos and making Gotham turn on itself.
We saw that arc completed in TDK. Just like with Harvey Dent. If the Joker reappeared as a main villain, it would have been repetitive. And if he wasn't the main villain...well he wouldn't have been a good inclusion anyway. Joker doesn't work for anyone else and should always be the biggest threat in the room.
I've thought this for some time. If Bane had released the Joker from Arkham, he wouldn't've been able to resist throwing a wrench into Bane's plans, so Bane would've had to take him out, but the Joker is sufficiently canny to avoid going down without a fight...eventually the focus would've drifted away from Bruce.
