Bane vs. The Joker: Who was more evil?
On one hand, a nihilistic anarchist with a sadistic and psychopathic sense of humor causing chaos just for the sake of chaos, and on the other hand a psychopathic terrorist who is hell-bent on executing his own twisted plan of murdering millions of people in the name of carrying out his delusional vision of justice.
Bane has an Osama bin Laden aspect to him (i.e. a terrorist or a leader with his own very perverted idea of justice and thinking he is doing the right thing) whereas the Joker just wants to spread fear and mayhem while sadistically enjoying it all the same, but with no clear goal or vision in sight.
My vote actually goes to the Joker precisely because he has no sense of justice, regardless of how perverse or twisted Bane's sense of justice is. He's not necessarily mentally insane and is fully aware of the chaos and murder he spreads but does it out of pure enjoyment rather than feeling it is necessary or just. Still, a very tough call either way.
@Incalebus: Very true about the Joker not needing anyone else. Bane needed Talia al Ghul (daughter of Ras) and the League of Shadows to carry out his plan.
Still, I liked The Dark Knight Rises and enjoyed it, however The Dark Knight was definitely the best. Also, I was somewhat irritated that the Joker wasn't even acknowledged at all in The Dark Knight Rises. It was as if he never existed. They reference Harvey Dent several times, as well as Ras al Ghul, the Scarecrow, organized crime, Rachel Dawes, and all of the other characters in the trilogy, but not the Joker. It just gave me a sense that the Joker was the 800 lb. elephant in the room that nobody wanted to talk about because he was the cause of everything that led up to the events in The Dark Knight Rises, such as Harvey Dent's descent into madness/vengeance as Two-Face and his subsequent death that led to the lies surrounding his legacy and Batman taking the blame for Dent's actions, not to mention the terrib

The Joker: [to Det. Stephens] Do you wanna know
why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can’t
savor all the… little… emotions. In… you see, in their
last moments, people show you who they really
are. So in a way, I know your friends better than
you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?
That quote shows that joker is the better and more evil villain. He kills for fun, he even savours the moment. Bane is just brute force. Plus Heath Ledger nailed the part well as compared to Tom Hardy

the joker was not only better but more evil all bane was was a terrorist who was going to kill lots of people where as the joker just wanted to make people suffer even the way the joker kills is more evil the joker using knives and bane being a brute thats also why the jokers better because his not a brute and yet he can get away with all of this and considering that bane was never the real villain it was some woman we never met before also showing that bane couldn't do all of what he did without some chick also considering that the joker didn't need a whole Klan following him just a few random people (i hated the dark knight rises) so all in all the joker is a much better and more evil villain hell even the performance from heath ledger was better than bane (can't remember the actor)

Nothing could ever match the joker. As I've got older its become harder for me to watch films without thinking of who the actors really are, because they aren't playing the part convincingly. Heath Ledger absolutely nailed the joker.
On the contrary I found bane to be lacking in the same charisma. He wasn't a very interesting villain, and the plot was so predictable. I was bored well before the end.
