Battle of the Toms! Will Tom Hardy's Bane be a more formidable villain than Tom Hiddleston's Loki? Seeing as one is a street level human and the other is a cosmic threat, a physical battle between the two would have a rather obvious outcome. But, that's not important. What is important is which will dominate the role as their respective film's antagonist. Hiddleston already proved he can impress as Loki, providing what was disputably the best villain by Marvel Studios yet. His new determination will be a joy to watch, but his second-turn as a villain in a new franchise takes away from the allure of having a new villain to wow us.
Yes, the threat Loki poses will be on a much larger scale, but Bane's introduction (appearing to be heavily influenced by Knightfall) seems to have a much heavier impact on the main hero. Both are going to be excellent to watch, but Bane was selected to conclude the epic Batman trilogy for a reason.
Winner: The Dark Knight Rises
