I think Che is a really good example of why this doesn't entirely work. Che was a psychopathic dictator, as many people who escaped from Cuba during his reign can tell you, but the kids who idolize him today are people who were born after he died, from a faraway place where they've never been, and mostly know him for his belief and a nice-sounding but ultimately deadly flawed political ideology.

Worshipping Joker like this doesn't work because it's too close and too soon. The closest I can think of to something like this was the "Malcolm was right" type stuff shortly after his death, but even then, Malcolm X, to my knowledge, never directly hurt anyone after he started getting into politics.
