I think it's arguable that Heath had already realized some measure of "full potential" with Brokeback Mountain. Personally I think the Joker is one of those meaty roles that a good actor can sink his chops into. Nicholson did a very good job with it first time around and now Heath Ledger's performance looks likes it's the first realization of the "Frank Miller" Joker. After seeing the trailers I was amazed.
