I'd say that one goes to Nicky Katt for tainting an amazing film with only seconds of screentime. That guy is the most annoying and ridiculous piece of crap in the whole trilogy. And what sucks is it takes place during one of the best parts of the film.

He was one of the Blackgate prison inmates right? but he barely said a work why would his performance be terrible?

No, I'm talking about the Swat guy driving with Gordon in TDK.

Title speaks for itself, my ranking would go like this

1) Heath Ledger as Joker (Probably my favorite acting performance ever)
2) Aaron Eckhart as Two face (Underrated IMO)
3) Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle
4) Christian Bale in TDKR
5) Christian Bale in Begins
6) Tom Hardy as Bane
7) Gary Oldman in TDK
8) Christian Bale in TDK (Underrated)
9) JGL as John Blake
10) Micheal Cain is all 3

Gonna change it up a little after rethinking...

1) Heath Ledger as Joker in TDK
2) Aaron Eckhart as Two Face in TDK
3) Gary Oldman as Gordon in TDK
4) Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle in TDKR (By far the best female character in the trilogy)
5) Christian Bale as Bruce/ Batman in TDKR
6) Tom Hardy as Bane in TDKR
7) Christian Bale as Bruce/ Batman in Begins
8) Gary Oldman as Gordon in TDKR
9) Tie between Micheal Cain, Micheal Cain, and Micheal Cain!
10) Christian Bale as Bruce/ Batman in TDK (Underrated)

Honorable Mentions: Morgan Freeman in TDK (Good in all 3 but TDK is his best IMO) JGL in TDKR, Neeson in Begins, Cillian in Begins, Rutgar Hauer in Begins, Maggie in TDK (Most overhated performance of the trilogy IMO), Oldman in Begins.

This is really hard because there has been so much talent in this Bat trilogy. I never would have thought a cbm trilogy would attract so much talent.

[Schlosser85]

1. Heath Ledger
2. Michael Caine (especially TDKR)
3. Aaron Eckhart
4. Gary Oldman (especially TDK)
5. Christian Bale (especally BB and TDKR)
6. Liam Neeson
7. Anne Hathaway
8. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
9. Tom Hardy
10. Cillian Murphy

Honorable mention to Morgan Freeman (who's great but lets face it, didn't have much to do).

Really everyone (besides Holmes and Gyllenhaal, who I think were the weak links in each of their movies) was solid though. Honorable mentions to Tom Wilkinson and (surprisingly) Eric Roberts, and even smaller roles like Keith Szarabajka (Stephens), Monique Curnen (Ramirez), Melinda McGraw (Barbara Gordon), Linus Roache (Thomas Wayne), etc., were good with what they had.

I'd say

1) Heath Ledger ( No contest!)
2) Gary Oldman
3) Christian Bale
4) Liam Neeson
5) Joseph Gordon-Levitt (blasphemy? Maybe but he really surprised me in a very hard role to pull off)
6) Michael Caine (TDKR to me ruined his character)
7) Aaron Eckhart
8) Tom Hardy
9) Anne Heathaway
10) Morgan Freeman




Worst is either Katie Holmes or Matthew Modine.

 

[AnneFan]

9) Anne Heathaway

A Catwoman/Joker combination, eh?

 

[SheldonLevene]

I can't convey how much I loved Michael Caine's performance in TDKR. It was so strong. He conveyed so much in the screen time he was given. Just a really great job.

I'd probably go:

Heath
Caine
Bale
Hathaway
Oldman
Hardy
Neeson
Eckhart
the rest

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Heath Ledger (obviously)
Christian Bale
Gary Oldman
Tom Hardy
Liam Neeson
Aaron Eckhart
Michael Cane
Morgan Freeman
Anne Hathaway
Joseph Gordon Levitt

Honorable mention : Katie holmes. LOLJK.

But really, Cillian.

[Doc Samson]

I think Liam Neeson's portrayal of Ras is criminally underrated, probably because he's played that type of role plenty of times before. But I think outside of Heath, Bale & Oldman, he gave the best performance in this trilogy. Just the way he delivers some of those lines, it's brilliant really.
