but neither Heath nor Tom were/are Method actors


the thing Heath did was IDEAL inspired acting...its what any actor who takes acting seriously strives to achieve every time

once you enter that realm of acting, there's no better....there's no lesser, its a matter of different

So Tom's performance, technically speaking, cannot be better...there is no higher plateau for acting....he can be different, but just as captivating if Tom achieves complete inspired acting


for example...Bale achieved it in The Fighter....he did what Heath did. The result is different, but it is impossible to truly say which is better....they exist at the surface of the fish tank and there's no higher level


Stanislavsky said that in every great performance the actor captures the audience's attention with the physicality and the voice, and then reveals the soul through the eyes. In my opinion, thats what made Heath's performance so good. That's what made Bale's performance so good. That's what will make Tom's performance.

I never said they were, i just mentioned it because i am more knowledgeable about method acting as opposed to other varieties... and the fact that method acting incorporates the most crucial formula into acting: "to give a lifelike performance through genuine emotional experiences felt on stage/camera"..

a formula (i am almost certain) both Heath and Hardy used for Dark Knight and Inception respectively.. (and yes that doesn't make the method actors per say)

and btw i am sure you are already aware, but modern "Method Acting" is derived from Stanislavsky's classical method..
if Stanislavsky would approve of that is another question altogether.. but there is no questioning the resemblance..

I doubt it will be topped as the characters are too different IMO

nope... you are limiting the definition of "acting" exclusively to one school of thought.. there are plenty out there that couldn't
careless about genuine emotion and simply care about appearance and the proper delivery of the script..

please respect the diversity.

I do not even think it is an argument that he is the best in all of comics.
