Joker. He is hilarious. The most hilarious Super Villain evar.

Bane is cool and all but he just seems so... serious...

He makes a few jokes. You haven't even seen the movie!

Does it matter?

Joker is just plain awesome. Prolly one of my favorite villains!

It does matter if you want to make an informed opinion, yes. Your opinion might not change, but still, Bane was absolutely awesome. Joker was amazing of course too. Just sayin'

Watching TDK didn't make me like Joker more. I just like him because of the show and stuff. Bane is just to Villain-y for me. (If that makes sense.)

Joker is a nihilist who is complete reverse of Batman ideally but corrupted, whereas Bane is a brute who is a mirror of Batman but turned villain.

I've been dying to see Bane done right in other media ever since. Just seeing him in the spotlight as a capable and clever "anti-Batman" put him ahead of the Joker, for me......but then they made him just a goon for Talia Al Ghul. As soon as it was revealed that she was running things and Bane was just her lackey, his stock fell.

You almost nailed it. That last reveal was a mistake, in my opinion. It took Bane down to the level of being mere muscle, and not even particularly strong muscle at that. A pity that all that set up was ultimately for nothing.

The only part we disagree is that, even before that, I never put Bane ahead of Joker. Bane was initially a cunning brute. Joker was always a criminal mastermind. And while Bane uses raw strength to do a lot of his damage, Joker's scenes always felt far more visceral and brutal. The scenes where he murders the gang leader, or the "magic trick" moment still make me wince...

Not strong muscle? :O Did you not see him absolutely demolish Batman?

Not to mention when he was fighting Batman for the second time he punched a hole into a concrete pillar just after Batman dodged the punch lol

Or dented the sh*t out of Baman's strong bullet proof mask.

I thought bane was bye far the weakest villian in the batman movies. Bane was just laughable. It was like a wrestler,trying to do some weak darth vader imitation. Plus it was hard to understand what he was saying half the time.

joker!

at the end of the movie bane was killed like a dog like he meant nothing...i didnt feel like he was the main villain rather the main villain in this movie was batman for himself

Keiner kann ihn bremsen, keiner macht ihm was vor. Immer der richtige Schuss, immer zur richtigen Zeit. Superfussball, Fairer Fussball. Er ist unser Torschützenkönig und Held.

How he died really just showed that he was human like the rest of us, only a lot scarier and more intimidating than most.


he even cried..bane doesnt come even close to the joker. i feel that bane was just a poor guy with muscles and an old batman beats him.. I feel sorry for him.
