The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy as Bane XI

[A.Stabelli]

Maybe Bane does different voices throughout the film? One voice for the football stadium scene, and his normal voice for when he's up against Batman.

Ill be surprised if some of the members here dont have strokes before the december trailer. Relax man. Christ.

I'm not freaking out. I'm just saying that I'm sick of people saying 'Oh, you don't know the context!' and 'It'll be done in post!'. Those are hypothetical. If I want to judge what I can see for sure is there.


Hell, I even play along with the whole 'context' crap at the end of my post.

Also, just so it didn't get lost in the swarm of posts:

What pisses me off about Nolan is he tries to get rid of comic book elements to make it more 'realistic', when he should use realism to justify the presence of comic book elements. For example: Thor wasn't realistic, but it used realism to justify itself, and it was very successful. Not as successful as Dark Knight, but that wasn't because of the 'realism', but because of Ledger's performance as a character.

Nolan is holding Batman back too much. Considering DC is already holding back all their other characters, I don't consider that a good thing.

'Over The Edge' is definitely my favorite interpretation of Bane. IMO, nothing else in animation comes close. I hope Hardy will be as good.

I don't care what the scene could hypothetically be. I care about what it sounds like now. It sounds like crap now, and thus I have total right to make fun of it as much as I damn please.

And don't pull that 'Nolan didn't intend for us to hear it' bullcrap. If he didn't intend for people to hear it, he wouldn't have had it broadcasted in a goddamn football stadium to a large crowd. It's not like it was in a building or on a sound stage. An open area into a microphone.

The only acceptable explanation is that at that moment, Bane sounds weaker without the Venom, which wouldn't make sense considering he's breathing it.

Settle down, Slugger.

One word:

HA!

 

[BatmanBeyond]

Thank you.

As to Bane being described as "part man and part machine", is it not likely that this is metaphorical?

It's possible. Maybe the announcer was trying to create a sense of fear in the crowd? Perhaps by reminding everyone of Darth Vader, as he's the character that's most often referred to as part man/part machine in popular culture...

Why would he change voices? What reason would he do a different voice for on purpose (at least, the way you phrased it indicates he knowingly changes voices) for no damn reason?

Agree.

"I'm pleased you remember me, Mr. Wayne."

That voice reminds you of Darth Vader?

James Earl Jones sounds nothing like that.

 

[American_Idiot]

Try to understand people, a major part of his speech was left out.

It begins: "I had a dream!..."

Then he starts talking about racism in Gotham. Pretty cool actually.

I wouldn't say over the edge. More like balancing off the side of it. He goes to the very extreme, but stays in some form of control the whole time.


If he were over the edge, he'd have killed Batman instead of breaking him.

And Darth Vader sounded nothing like James Earl Jones during filming... he sounded like Dave Prowse!
Why doesn't everyone make their mind up when they see the finished article!

It's the title of a BTAS episode, that features Bane.

... What? "Over the Edge" is the title of the episode...

I wouldn't say he's having an episode. I'd say it's more like he's trying to persuade the folks of Gotham into seeing things his way...


Kidding of course. His post made me laugh.

Ah, I was confused. I thought he meant that 'Over the Edge' was his favorite description of Bane.

Memorizing episode titles isn't my strong suit.

 

[Anno_Domini]

"Over the Edge" has got to be my favorite episode.

Simple: he has multiple personality disorder.
One minute he is himself, as bane, muscle of an organization out to break batman. But the next, he is an aging football announcer.
He has also been seen delivering mail as 'mailman bane' and trying to solve mysteries in people's backyards as 'inspector bane'. And when he gets really angry, he becomes the diabolical 'professor chaos. bane'.

One minute he's a skilled warrior and the next he's....

 

[Tojo]

Lol, this forum is hilarious at times t:

On a side note, i thought it was pretty pbvious that Bane is an experiment. I see him as an orphan who became an elite super-soldier who got dabbled with along the way and became Bane. So, obviously like a dark brother to Bruce. Same life parallel etc..

Kindof like Raiden from MGS in a way.

I agree

 

[Nathan]

I love how serious the tone is.

Bane: "A fight to the death?"

Batman: "It makes no difference now..."

Bane: "Time to die!"

Batman: "You first."

I'm trying to imagine Bane as a mailman. I have to manip that later.

 

[The_Shocker]

In light of his old man/paedo voice could Hardy be playing an old Bane, how we see Hardy could be a result of him already being pumped with 'Venom' that might be keeping him alive?
