Given that the Joker was used in other media shortly after TDK (including the well received animated movie titled Under the Red Hood), your argument has little weight to it.

You claimed that Heath Ledger only got an Oscar nod because he was an “Oscar darling”. I was simply pointing out that if we went by your logic, Robin Williams should’ve been nominated for an Oscar for his final performance as well, given how much the Academy loved him.

I'm not saying they succeeded, just that they thought they could succeed. Which speaks volumes.

They wanted to give him one since Brokeback and once he died they knew they'd never be able to give him one for a "proper" movie. Williams already had an Oscar so there was less incentive.

Succeed at what? I don’t recall there having been petitions to permanently retire the Joker across all media.

In that case, they could’ve given him an Oscar for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
