I've gotta give this to Bane for a varity of reasons. First and formost Bane is both Physically far more powerful and is the Joker's match it intelligence. While the Joker MAY be more intelligent, but he is physically weak compared to Bane, so when it comes to fight Bane physicallity will win him in that area of the fight. Another thing I see Bane having going for him is he is far more stable mentally. When the Joker works in a team, he cares nothing for his men, and has killed his team mates, While I don't know alot about Bane, he doesn't strike me as nearly as unstable as The Joker, and that stability will work well for him and his men, where as the Jokers mentality will make it harder for his men to trust him, given he has used his men as human bombs in the past.
