| Tom Hardy as Bane |
I've already talked about my fascination with Bane's voice in The Dark Knight Rises, and how it was one of the most memorable parts of the movie. Someone described Bane as sounding like a cross between Sean Connery and Darth Vader, and that's the best description of his voice I've heard so far. However, I remember when the first trailers were released in late 2011, a lot of people complained that it was nearly impossible to understand what Tom Hardy was saying under Bane's mask.
It turns out, the filmmakers must have taken that early criticism into consideration, because it seems Christopher Nolan and company either re-recorded Hardy's voice performance or adjusted it in some way between the IMAX prologue screening in December 2011 and the film's release in July of this year. Check out the comparison below, that a YouTuber posted, and see if you can tell a difference between the voices. Personally, I think the final version was for the better - Bane still sounded menacing, but his dialogue wasn't as muffled.
