Eh. I thought Bane was pretty good as a villain. The problem is that he's only used as a plot device. After Bane breaks Batman's back, nobody knows what to do with him.
I like TDK Joker more, but it's apples and oranges at the end of the day. Comparing Joker and Bane is like comparing Tyler Durden and Darth Vader. How can you?
Banes whole plan was shit and required that the retards of Gotham ignore that he's threatening them with a nuke and will see him as a liberator. While he's holding them captive.
duuuuuuuurrrrrrrr
Whereas Jokers ideological battle with Batman was fascinating and genius.
Plus Batman and Gordan were psychologically scarred for 8 freaking years because of the Joker. Batman overcame Bane in 3 months, tops.
Not to mention Batman didn't easily overcome Joker. People seem to forget that Joker won at the end of the movie. Batman only barely stopped him by making the entire lie about Dent which stopped the city from falling into shit.
Joker was a much better villain than Bane. Ras was a better villain than Bane. Scarecrow was more enjoyable than Bane, and nearly killed Batman in his first encounter too, as did Joker and Ras (when he came back as a villain anyway). Bane wasn't the first one to best Batman. The only villain Bane outdid in those movies was Two Face, who got the shaft. He had great backstory and was set up perfectly, but they got rid of him within minutes. They should have saved Two Face for the third movie.
Bane was a henchman-***** for Talia, and in the end got his ass kicked by a couple of haymakers to the face after Bruce had a ****ing Rocky training montage.
Bane was crap, and everything about him besides his body language was a disappointment.
Joker by a mile.

Was every single dialogue that he uttered gold in the sense that it was comedic gold?
His muppet voice made sure of that, for me.
