Blackguards and Paladins in 4e were virtually the same class but the last I checked there wasn't an official Blackguard class in 4e.
Paladin's however should be a class all to themselves.
There actually is an official 4e Black Guard. It's powers similar to a Paladins, but kind of opposite. Where a Paladin might gain a bonus to hit based on how many things are around him the Black Guard got a bonus to damage.
With how many classes are in 4e they have dozens of classes they could still add to the game.

Should be there own class, according to how PHB reads they are a cross between the fighter and a cleric, with high defensives taunts heals and CC along with buffs and debuffs.
