I'd agree with you. Villains like the Ice-Truck Killer and Trinity tested Dexter and left a lasting impact in their own distinct way. Doakes wasn't so much a villain, but an antithesis to Dexter. They're both very much two sides of the same coin. Both justify their reasons to kill. Both have an inner darkness. And both use this inner darkness as a force of good. Like you said with regards to Joker and Batman, they're polar opposites, yet both The Joker and Batman have much in common, most notably, they're both freaks. Doakes and Dexter wers such a good struggle for each other because they were both smart, resourceful and suprisingly enough, they were both killers! Although Doakes justifies that it's his job to kill sometimes. Like the Joker said to Batman in The Dark Knight, "this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object".
