Also, Gecko commits insider trading, and even if not completely illegal at the time of the setting, is really shady. It\'s more like he knows how to give a good speech, but doesn\'t play by the rules- he\'s a hypocrite.

Edit- To reply to Richard\\\'s post, the problem is that a lot of examples aren\\\'t so much \\\"has a point\\\" as saying \\\"the villain was right and the heroes were wrong\\\". There\\\'s also an issue that a lot of times, writers actually are intending the moral situation to be complex (or at least have the villain have rhetorical skills). Saying that the example is StrawmanHasAPoint is to say \\\"the writers were stupid and they accidentally made the villain have the better point\\\"- and admittedly, some media actually do fit this.

Also, reading it... It reeks of Batman Tas Joker. The Timmverse, Nolanverse, Millerverse, Elseworlds, Burtonverse, the Silver Age, Golden Age, Bronze Age, Dark Age, Mocer Age, Morrison-Revamped, & Romero Jokers are all completely different. Every 10 or 20 years the Joker is revamped in ways writers couldn;t get away with in other character. Every 10 or 20 years something like Chrisis on Infinate Earths & Zero Hour happen that retcon almost everything that happened before they took place, & he has many different origin stories that contradict eachother, most notalby the old Killing Joke & the recent Lovers & Madmen.
