Exactly. We get some great news about Bane carrying a shattered half of Batman's mask and people are focusing on the voice/accent?
I just don't get it.
I'll say here that I can understand worrying about whether or not we'll be able to understand what Bane says, but what I don't get is the complaining about the accent...
If Hardy's acting is top-notch, the story is as epic as pretty much the entire crew of TDKR has stated, and the filming is beautiful, then I don't care if Bane sounds like he's breathing Helium through that mask.
(ETA: chipmunk Bane. As soon as the first trailer is out with his finished voice, I DEMAND That someone do this!)
But honestly, I seem to go in the opposite direction of people on this board for the most part:
-I never had a problem with Bale's Batman voice.
-I was neutral about the TDK Batsuit, but after rewatching TDK this morning, I realize that I frickin' love that Batsuit.
-With the exception of those heels (they really do look stupid, which is why I'm praying that they have some sort of practical functionality and aren't just there), I
love the Catsuit.
So maybe I'm just the odd guy out or something...
So far it sounds like he's going to sound the same as he did in that instrument of liberation speech. If so then that's going to suck.
Why? I thought he sounded like a guy who's suffering so badly that he needs a constant supply of anesthesia to numb pain... isn't that the point of the mask in the first place?
I mean, if he's suffering from that severe of an injury, the last thing I'd expect is for him to sound like
Kevin Grevioux. Yes, Bane should sound intimidating, but if he needs a never-ending supply of anesthesia to dull pain, then he's obviously not well, is he?
Besides... in
reality, inhaling that much gas that often is going to take a toll on your vocal chords. You're not going to have some deep, booming voice that sounds like it's from the pits of hell.
I'm not complaining about his accent.
I'm concerned by the multiple reports that he is difficult to understand. That's kinda important to me. Sorry if I'm raining on your parades
.
Now
this I get. That worries me, too. I hope he's much easier to understand than what some of the reports are saying. I want to be able to hear his lines clearly, after all...
Naturally people focus on the ridiculous and not the legit problems to worry about with the voice.
I'm starting to think that's human nature.
Take it easy. You too are whining... about other people. They have the right to voice their opinions. Even if they're a bit premature.
Yes. They do. But as one Hype! member's astute signature notes, opinions can be
wrong.
Wait..so according to the description the movie starts at the end of TDK and sinceNolan said most of it "takes place 8 years later", I guess Nolan is going to flash forward during the movie...which leads me to wildly speculate the reason for the jump is so Bruce's back has time to heal! (not to mention the pic/vid of Bale with the cane)
And suddenly, the idea of Batman needing time to recover from a broken back received in the prologue makes sense again...
Although, judging by the so-far pathetically unspoilered descriptions I've read, we're obviously not getting that.
But am I the only one who remembers Gordon saying to Bruce(?) "we were in this together, and then you were gone." in the teaser trailer? Why the hell would Gordon say that if there wasn't a period of time where Batman was... as he says... "gone"?
Let's not forget the confirmation we received that Bane is injured and is relying on some form of anesthetic gas for life. Since we have conflicting reports on Bane's voice at two DIFFERENT points in the story, one can make the assumption that Bane's health is deteriorating (because of some plot point?) and therefore sounds more wheezy during the sequence at Heinz Field. My work here is done. Oh and let's not jump to conclusions before we actually here the voice people.
Exactly. Thank you.
Yeah...anyway.
