Compare him to Tom Hardy as Bane who wiped the fucken floor with him as a bad guy in every single way......
By utilising a voice synthesizer?
well that and having some great lines and being a physical freak.
So the script writer should get the credit? I thought we were talking about acting.

Hardy did a brilliant job at that too. In fact between that, Dunkirk and Mad Max I don't recall another actor who can convey what he does with a fucken mask on most of the time......
Again, Ledger died before it's release if I remember rightly and the marketing and hype about his "astounding performance" reached ridiculous levels.

@MN5 That’s some great contrarianism!
Now, for my contrarianism - Ledger was great and made that movie and The Dark Knight Return is a pretty crap movie and Hardy is wasted in the role. Batman Begins is by far the best of Nolan’s Batman films for me.

It's the interweb, I'm allowed to post without thinking.
Agree 100% about Batman Begins in the same way Casino Royale is the best Daniel Craig Bond. Both breathed some much needed life into tired franchises but were followed by sequels of declining quality.

I think Tom Hardy is a very good actor. This is particularly obvious in the movie about the Cray Twins. But I think the Bane character is rather generic and hardly noteworthy.
Again, Ledger died before it's release if I remember rightly and the marketing and hype about his "astounding performance" reached ridiculous levels.
True, but it was a bloody good performance.

I just found Bane a much more menacing character, the hiding he gives Batman in the clip above is something the joker could only dream about but obviously in Batman lore the latter is a much more memorable character overall and to be honest I don't think Ledger nailed it like others would have me believe.
Hardy is awesome in the Krays movie and also Bronson
Ledger is a guy I never warmed to in any way.

I think the Dark Knight works because the actions of the Joker are perfect for the character. Yes, Ledger was acting up the place (and improvising some very cinematic scenes, like the clapping in the cell wasn't in the script).
It's Nolan's script and direction that make it a great film.
The less said about Rises the better, they completely fucked up the characters in that one. Bane was some pussy whipped bitch, Batman is wandering around in the day and freaking retires! Alfred leaves Bruce as well. Pretty much the opposite what should have happened.
It's like a Brett Ratner took over the franchise.
I would have made Bane the lead villian, and have him be the kid that left the hole. Batman would have died at the end saving the city, and Robin would have become the new Batman. That would have linked it back to Batman Begins where he said Batman had to be a symbol and more than a man, and passing the torch does that exactly.
Some sort of explanation on how he got back to Gotham with no money and into the city would have been nice. A line of dialogue about hidden funds, and a backup Batcave would have done that.

Talia al Ghul, which was the big twist. It turned Bane into just a dumb, pussy whipped henchman.

Both Bane & Nyssa Ah Gul appeared in the latest ep of the Gotham series (although the guy that becomes Bane has been in for couple of eps)

And comicbook Bane was awesome, second time he's been made into just the muscle. Last time it was with Poison Ivy. He's the dude that breaks the Bat! Deserves to be a stand alone villian.

We have 20-odd Marvel films to re-watch before End Game in a few weeks. Who has time?
