Better acting: Robert Downey Jr. (Infinity War) or Christian Bale (The Dark Knight)
RDJ. No knock on Bale, but his performance wouldn't be the same without...well his entire cast really.
Jut because TDK was a better movie doesn’t mean the leading actor’s performance was better.
In fact ifnitnwasnt for Heath Ledger’s performance I don’t even think the movie would have been half as good.
RDJ was superb throughout the movie.
RDJ no contest...baleman was awful.
Baleman was a stellar Bruce Wayne but was rather a poorer Batman since he had twisted morals and wasn't really as menacing nor as intimidating whatsoever compared to Batffleck and Keaton. RDJ redefined Stark as a character.
Was there any character Tony Stark b4 RDJ ? I don't think so whatsoever . Even Cap was much better known as a character b4 MCU happened .
But Bale has to go up against some good competitors who have portrayed to a well known/established and a popular character . RDJ was simply way better than him as an actor(of Iron Man) and arguably the best actor of MCU .
He defined MCU , not Bale but I regarded as a better actor overall apart from his performance in DK trilogy. He has handful no of movies which are better than RDJ as Iron Man.
Well bale played a character I would say, RDJ is like will Smith in the MCU,he's basically playing himself
I would have to go with Bale simply because unlike RDJ who literally had to just be himself, Bale has to actually act out a character.
RDJ. Bale wasn't the actor that made TDK. Anyone can growl their way through a role.
I dont think anybody is voting Bale because of his batman acting... just like nobody is or should be voting rdj for the way he acts in the suit for the most part...
Bale was an expert at portraying bruce wayne... as was robert downey jr in portraying tony stark... except bale is ultimately a better actor imo, batman movies included.
When I read a Batman comic, I dont think of Bale at all. His batman sucked but his Bruce Wayne was decent.
When I read an Iron Man comic, I cant get RDJ out of my head. He IS Iron Man and Tony Stark.
This thread is disgusting. Bale in a stomp. Mismatch
@rdskns4eva: Chris Evans reminds me of Captain when reading the comics. RDJ's performance doesn't really improve as Tony Stark.
I would have to go with Bale simply because unlike RDJ who literally had to just be himself, Bale has to actually act out a character.
Ah? Bale also always seem to play Bale to me... In DKR he was simply painfull to witness... But honestly the voice and prune-shaped helmet didn't helped him one bit, no sir.
RDJ.
I love Nolan's Batman films (at least the first two) but I was never wow'd by Bale's performance in those movies. It was functional, but he didn't really elevate the material to exceptional heights, and even he's acknowledged this.
