It's hard to weigh in on this because the choreography in TDKR was pretty sloppy. At times it seemed as if Bane was pretty fast and skilled, at times he seemed slow and just a bruiser.
We do know that:
1. Thor is bigger and heavier muscled and is by no means slow.
2. Bane's pain tolerance will be a big advantage for him.
3. Bane's respirator is a big weakness if Thor ever breaks it.
I think it could swing either way, right now I'm leaning towards Thor due to size advantage and more consistent h2h feats.

Christian Bale is 6'0", and on average weighs about 181 pounds, but for Batman, he bulked up to about 190-200 pounds to play him..Chris Hemsworth is 6'4", and 200 pounds even.
The weight difference is negligible.
Oh, and Tom Hardy also weighed 200 pounds as Bane.
Seriously, not much difference.
Hemsworth is 200 lbs during his normal days... in which he's noticeably slimmer and less muscular than his Thor physique.

Lets not forget Batman was wearing full body armor when Bane lifted him.
Correct. But it's both an advantage/disadvantage. It made him heavier which is a good showing of Bane's strength, but it also made him slower.
Like I said, this match can probably go either way, but I seriously doubt Bane is outmuscling Thor. His best bet is to use his (supposed) ninja training and punching power to outbox Thor.
Overpowering an old and out of shape Batman is one thing, but trying to get into a wrestling match with a viking in his prime who's bigger than you with centuries of fighting experience would be quite different.

He put on 20 pounds for Thor, so that's still not quite massively heavier than Hardy or Bale, and where are you even getting that Hemsworth is only 200 pounds "normally"? I know he put on weight for the role, but he doesn't seem to have slimmed down.
Hemsworth was at least 220-230 lbs. Lol at Tom Hardy being 200 lbs. He was 190 at best. The guy is like 5'8. And he was still fat.

You're right, the weight difference isn't quite that big. Probably max of 30 lbs difference and can even be as little as 10.
But it's not just the weight though. Leverage and overall size also come into play. Hemsworth is what, 6 inches taller than Hardy? With matching bone structure.
I'm not saying Thor will overpower Bane, just saying Bane wouldn't overpower Thor the same way he did Batman.
Originally posted by FrothByteYeah it makes Bruce slower, but also much tougher. The fact he can put the hurting on a fully armored, highly trained ninja is a nice feat. i'm undecided on the match, but everything points to Bane hitting hard as ****

Are you under the impression that the fat wouldn't have added to his weight?
What a ****ing idiot.

Weight: 190 pounds
Hardy had to gain thirty pounds of muscle to play Bane after Warrior, where he weighed just shy of 170.
Hardy is 5'9". It isn't impossible for someone to weigh 200+ pounds at that height without even being fat. Ask dadudemon.
