The Joker (The Dark Knight) - A complete psychopath who is a self-described "agent of chaos," and delights in randomly causing terror and destruction. Loves setting up "traps" of sort that set people against eac hother.
Jigsaw (Saw Series) - A man who seeks to cure others of their disregard for life by placing them in elaborate torture traps and "games." All of his traps are technically possible to escape from, but doing so often involves inflicting unthinkable mutilation on yourself or making a difficult moral choice.
Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs) - The epitome of smooth, sophisticated evil, Hannibal is easily the most straight-forward killer of the three. He simply kills people, and eats them. Also a master of getting into others' heads, he has actually been able to cause someone's death simply by talking to them.
THE VERDICT:
Jigsaw is easily the least-likely to win. Although a master of sick machines and twisted plans, his traps rely too much on stupidity and people's inability to cope with stressfull situations. Were he to put Lecter in one of his machines or "games," Lecter would simply find his way out, likely by gaining incredible insite into Jigsaw's own mental inner workings. And the Joker would simply enjoy the traps. In fact, I would imagine that Jigsaw and the Joker would be pretty fast friends.
The Joker himself would probably be pretty immune to anything either Jigsaw or Lecter could inflict on him, but he also probably wouldn't be able to dominate either of the other two like he did with the residents of Gotham City. In this case, his downfall would be his own randomness. Without a plan, there is no way he would be able to compete with Jigsaw's inhuman ability to set up complicated schemes or Lecter's impressive intelligence.
That leaves Hannibal. While his insite into human nature would probably be useless against The Joker, he's the only one who has shown the ability to succeed not only as a killer but also as a prisoner. He could easily find a way out of any of Jigsaw's traps, and the Joker's random insanity would do little to throw him off guard. Also, his comparitively straight-forward approach to killing leaves relitively little room for Jigsaw or The Joker to outsmart him.
WINNER: HANNIBAL
Anyway, that's my opinion. Who do you think would win this epic conflict?
