DISCUSSION - Tom Hardy's "Bane" vs Heath Ledger's "The Joker"

Just wondering as to which villain you guys enjoyed more? Or which actor you think did a better job of portraying the character?

You know honestly? As much praise as Heath Ledger got for playing The Joker, I actually think Tom Hardy's Bane character was right up there.

Hardy did an awesome job with Bane in my opinion......and while I don't think his performance was as good as Ledger's (I.e. one of the greatest acting performances of all-time), I don't think it was too far off.

For me personally, I enjoyed Hardy's "Bane" character more than Ledger's "Joker.". Given the mask her had to wear, combined with Bane's character being far more ambiguous and less known than The Joker's (atleast to main stream), I think Hardy did a superb job of rising up to the challenge.
