Agreed. I'd say Bane was certainly more developed than Joker. Joker just did things and had no reason for doing so. He was just completely fricking insane. At least we know Bane's motive in TDKR.

Exactly, and that was the whole point. It's why Alfred's "Some men just want to watch the world burn" schpiel was so poignant.

It wasn't. Ra's Al Ghul and Bane were probably the two most well-developed villains in the trilogy if you don't count Harvey Dent post-explosion.

Ummm...you just answered your own question

That was kinda the point: Batman BEGINS followed by his polar opposite who DOESN'T

I had seen it when it first came out and thought it was alright. When I got the trilogy last week I rewatched it and enjoyed it a lot more than the first time.

Batman Begins is a great flick. Best of the 3 IMO.

I am not the one that said the Joker's character was more developed than Bane.
