Ra's, Joker, or Bane- Which did you like the most?
That's a tough one for me, they are my three favorite batman villains. Liam Nieeson was fantastic as Ra's, but I do wish he got more screen time in Begins. Ledger's portrayal of Joker was sensational and horrific at the same time. Was very impressed with the job he did, especially because I hated the idea of him playing Joker when he was originally cast. I liked Nolan's more realistic vision of Bane more so than the over the top one you see in like Arkham City. Tom Hardy was wonderful as Bane, He was menacing and vicious. The fight scenes he had in Rises were by far the best of the Trilogy. If I'm going with sheer individual performance, I've got to go with Heath Ledger as the Joker. Favorite villain interpretation, Ra's loses out to Bane simply because he did not have a great amount of screen time.
My favorite was Two-Face, simply because Aaron made Harvey so dark at the end after being so positive and upbeat in the movie. Second is a three way tie between Bane, Joker and Ra's. All such great acting.
I know I'm in the minority, but I think that the Joker was a little overhyped. My preference of the villains in order goes:
1. Bane 2. Two-Face 3. Joker 4. Ra's 5. Scarecrow 6.Talia Al Ghul
I loved the top 5 though, so the ranking is in no way a reflection of not liking them. Talia is the only one I wasn't crazy about.
@buttersdaman000: Joker and Two Face not even a real contest. ra's was in the film so little it hard to even say he was the bad guy falcone was more so.
Bane
Ra's
Joker
Talia
Scarecrow
Dont consider Two-Face to be a villain in this series,same goes for Catwoman.
Performance wise Ledger is still at the top.
Personally, I think Bane was one of the high points of TDKR.His voice, brutality, and intelligence just made for a imposing villain in a way the Joker could never be. I may change my views on this later, but he is my favorite villain of the trilogy.
- Bane
- Ra's
- Joker
- Talia
- Two-Face
- Scarecrow
Bane, but I'm also a sucker for Tom Hardy's acting work. Ledgers Joker is a close second. With Liam's Ra's a third place,

They were all fantastic, but Heath Ledger's Joker stands out the most.
This.
Seconded, also Aaron Eckhart was highly underrated as Harvey Dent. I thought he was great.
^^^ win
1. Bane- Hardy did such a great job in portraying Bane. He was intelligent, calculating, ruthless, brutal, and had the best fight scenes in the trilogy.
2. Two Face: Eckhart is severely underrated in that performance
3. Joker- Ledger is a little overrated in his performance. Is it great? Absolutely. It's not overwhelmingly great the more I see the movie though. I think Ledger's death had a lot to do with people's acclaim for him.
When it comes to acting Heath Ledger's Joker wins no doubt. If it comes to my personal favorite, Bane Wins. Followed by Joker, then Two-Face
