Ledger's Joker is in the top 5 movie villains of all time imo. He's utterly hypnotic whenever he's on screen.

Bane? Not so much.

Imagine Bane and Batman having a good 5 minute conversation. The theatre would be in hysterics.

Joker.

Bane was a throwaway villain. Even his death was non spectacular.

I thought Ra's al Ghul was a better villain than Bane.

Joker wins.

Exaggerated greatly. Joker was a villain Batman easily bested not so much with bane. Bane broke him.

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.

Joker was better written, better played and better portrayed. Not that Bane was bad, Joker was just that good.

That said, I still enjoyed Bane more.

Who cares ? Joker was easily dealt with. Bane beat the crap out of the Batman. Bane was the end game villain whereas Joker was just intermission.

Bane took over the city. Joker was nowhere near him in terms of being the end boss.

You mean Two-Face.
The Joker gets no mention whatsoever in TDKR & the movie begins with both the legacy & lie of Harvey Dent.

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.

I thought Bane was the more intimidating villain. Bigger threat to Batman and had major screen presence. Every single dialogue he uttered was gold.

With that said, Ledger gave a better performance. I thought they were more or less equal but I'm sure Joker will be remembered more.

Both were easily two of the biggest movie villains of the decade and the best of 2008 and 2012, respectively.

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.

His dialogue was every bit as good as Joker's when you consider his character. He had more menace than Joker.

"Search him, then I will kill you."

"Follow him!"

"Do you feel in charge?"

"I'm on your schedule Captain."

All his lines were sick.
