I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
Have you seen the movies? Because just about all the reviews I've read and everyone I've talked to agree that Bale is the weakest part of the movies.

That wasn't the question, the question was who acted better in their role and the correct answer IMO is RDJ.

Iron Man was pretty different from the comic book version but so was Batman. Bale was an okay Bruce Wayne and a terrible Batman, his voice almost ruined the movies for me. RDJ was at least charismatic.
Tony Stark in the comics wasn't quite the smart mouth that RDJ was. Tony comics is a carefree playboy but he's a bit more serious. He isn't the wisecracking, sarcastic, smart mouth that RDJ is. That role actually falls to Hawkeye.
It is more accurate to say that Tony in the comics wasn't a wisecracking douchebag (I mean this with the best of intentions) until RDJ's depiction of the character proved popular enough to make him one.
Agreed. Since RDJ's Ironman became a hit, every succeeding rendition of that character has been based on his template, from comics to cartoons. I feel kinda bad for Hawkeye, as he used to be the wisecracking douche of the Avengers team, kinda like Human Torch is for the F4. But since RDJ fills that role in the live action movie, Hawkeye is basically left without much personality.
RDJ was, to a certain extent, playing himself. Not much acting flexibility required in that. While RDJ's performance was more amusing than Bale's, Bale had to moreso flex his acting talent. Bale had to sell a sharp contrast between Bruce Wayne and Batman. Bale plays Bruce Wayne with a hidden darkness, which is expressed as batman.
Just an argument ppl make for Bale. I agree with the consensus, RDJ was a better Iron Man than Baleman.
