The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy as Bane XI

[TheBatman072]

Some of you really need to start thinking better. We hear a crappy quality sound clip of Bane speaking and you people go over board with insanity. For one, this will not be the final version of the clip. Please keep in mind that Tom Hardy was wearing a mask while delivering these lines so, naturally, his voice is going to come off sounding muffled and weird. That's what post-production is for. I am 100% sure that Hardy will re-dub this scene in post. The final product will sound much better.

ONCE AGAIN, post production and ADR cannot fix or change Hardy's inflections, tones and his accent.

The only way Bane sounds different in the movie is if Hardy is doing a joke voice for this scene because they'll be dubbing over him completely in post.

Which?

I'm not 100 percent sure which exactly. Someone actually posted a cartoon clip from b:tas where bane sounded like he was from Pennsylvania lol. That was my point. Besides the fact that "south American" can mean a whole plethora of differing accents. Bane doesn't have one universally agreed upon voice.. At. All.

 

[The Shape]

Didn't the people who saw it live say it sounded awesome? Yeah, I'll trust them...and then finalized product.

Threes plenty if precedent for those two characters tho. Tv series, 7 movies, cartoons, etc, etc. What's the real precedence for banes voice? I suppose you'll say he's south American, however I've heard cartoons where he's sounded pretty American. So it's totally different than Bruce or Alfred. There's nothing iconic about bane in that sense.

I think you're stretching here. Not only is Bane from South America in the books, but almost every depiction of him in the cartoons has an accent, except for the video game, which oddly enough, seems like Hardy took the most inspiration from.

Your entire point was saying that reading the comic books shouldn't matter, cause you make up the voices in your head. I've read most of Bane's books, I've seen all of the cartoons, and played the video game he's in. He's been around for about 18 years now, his background is pretty iconic. You just don't want to except it, for some reason.

So no ones the least bit curious or intrigued as to why- such a talented actor- especially vocally- as hardy chose this voice? Because for ne even tho I'm kind of mystified by it something is telling me there's a very good reason why such a talented actor would choose this. Im concerned and intrigued at the same time.

I should be mystified that people are arguing that Bane's South American accent has not been historically solidified, but then I remember that we also spent the last two days hearing that Catwoman doesn't need to look like a cat.

What IS sacrosanct?

And even then, he had a type of accent, and spoke in some Spanish words, like Bruha, which is SPANISH for witch.

So yeah, in every single interpretation of Bane, he's been some form of hispanic. Even freaking Batman&Robin. And in every single interpretation of Bane, he's never sounded like a 90 year old british man.

I never once said he doesn't have an accent. My point was, it's almost never the same accent. Sure, in a lot if the cartoons he gas a somewhat Spanish sounding voice, but then again in some of them he doesn't. So I still maintain there isn't a way bane is"suppose" to sound. That's all I was saying.
and like I said, a south American accent can really be interpreted many ways as I'm sure you know.

Actually, I don't know how familiar you are with audio engineering and manipulation, but you can basically take any line of someone speaking and change to however you want it, different tone, pace, speed, mood, inflection it's pretty easy actually.

 

[Russell Nash]

The voice of Bane will come when Tom Hardy performs using ADR. What he's doing now is just saying the lines.

 

[Blue_Scholar]

Tom Hardy sounds like David Prowse pretending to be Darth Vader. They'll synth his ADR voice in post, guaranteed.

I sure hope so.







Although I can't help but think of godforsaken autotune when reading your post.

The difference there is one doubts that Nolan will call in James Earl Jones to dub Hardy's voice.

I hope to christ it is.

This is how he sounded in Over the Edge as well, its really just a formal american accent.

Some of you people are going to be on the verge of a mental breakdown come December when the first trailer hits.

 

[Manosman]

And accents?

YEp

Sounds like Henry Silva to me. And Henry Silva sounded "Hispanic" to me.

I'd rather have Danny Trejo do the voice over but even a Darth Vader 2.0 is better than that oldmanish crap. Like I said it's possible that they will do a voice over. However, in the other hand, it seems like Nolan isn't annoyed by terrible voices. Grrrr yuurrr bearrrr inerrr paiddedddd jawyrllllll shelllllll frevrrrrrrr grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

He has an accent there?

 

[Agent Orange]

Yeah, Bale's Batman voice isn't nearly that garbled and warped. Hyperbolic internetz overreaction strikes again.

 

[A.Stabelli]

Did people forget that the production crew lowered Bale's voice for TDK? I'm sure they will do that for Hardy as well.

 

[Manosman]

Do we know that this bane is from South America, he doesn't look of Latin decent to me
