I'm giving this one to Bane. While the Joker managed to come up with some complex plans, and had Gotham gripped in fear, he never managed to directly take control of the city quite like Bane did. His men were trained mercenaries, while the Joker's men are just untrained street thugs, only held together by his leadership. Bane's men are probaly going to be more coordinated in a firefight, while the Joker's men are likely to scatter when things aren't going well. And when it comes down to leader vs. leader, Bane will literally CRUSH the Joker, who could barely hold his own against Batman. Overall, Bane's got the manpower, and the firepower to take this fight.
