Do y'all think he'll do a good job? I doubt he can top Heath Ledger's performance but do you think he can come close?


I think he'll do just fine but I highly doubt it tops ledgers performance for the simple fact that Bane simply pales in comparison to the joker. The joker is an iconic character and I just can't see Bane matching up to that.

Ledger's Joker is in its own category of epicness as far as Superhero movies go. He took superhero movies to a level I didn't think they could go to. Alot of that credit has to go to Nolan. His batman movies are in a class of their own in the genre.

The credit is to Nolan, not Ledger. Ledger was good but not great...

A resounding yes. I really like Hardy, actually a hell of alot more than I liked Ledger going into his Joker performance.

Ledger's joker was outstanding.

Immediately came to mind. I also really like Rush in that movie. When Rush was coaching him through his big speech he made ME feel at ease in my living room

i think ledger turned in one hell of a performance, but i think it's held in a higher regard because of his death.


I agree with this as well.

Hardy is a great actor; it's just that not many outside somewhat-comic knowledgeable people know who the hell Bane is. I think he'll be terrific, even though Bane's voice is now obviously dubbed (it sounds like his voice is coming from a sound stage).
