Not a fist fight.
Batman's out of town for a few years. Joker has half the city's criminals and Bane has the other half.
Who wins? Will Joker be able to break Bane and his men's psyche? Will Bane be able to physically stomp through all of Joker's forces?
Ah versus threads. I miss you so.

Bane kind of did everything the Joker never could though. He not only beat the goddamned Batman, but he showed how horrible the city was and it tore itself apart. Joker wanted this to happen, and set it up, but it failed like he did. Bane wanted it to happen, set it up, it happened, and he crushed the Batman at the same time. Bane would easily win. He has more dedicated followers, he's a better fighter, and he's a better tactician. The Joker is a great villian, and his movie was great, but Bane is simply sheer force both mentally and physically.
