I'm seriously biased towards Christian Bale, merely because he starred in my Favorite (SF) Film of All Time, so I'm just not seeing the issues you are, perhaps.
I think the film suffered from things entirely separate from Bale's or Ledger's performance, part of which is definitely the 45-minutes too long part. And some "WTF, how did that happen?" type stuff as well...
< rant >(huge quantities of explosives moved around behind the scenes completely unnoticed by anyone, for example - Batman vs. Joker: Oh Noes, I can't find my elusive adversary! Anyone else: Hmmm, this Ima Crook guy bought 20 tonnes of TNT and Diesel fuel, and had them delivered to the hospital... Maybe I should check the billing address? Jinkies, I found a clue!) < /rant >
Heath Ledger definitely played The Joker the way I always thought the character should be played, though, and it *was* brilliant.
