Bane's voice was, to me, a mixture of Armadeus Arkham, Voldemort and Dumbledore.
Banes raspy General Grievous voice is the same as Heath Ledger's Cagney lip smacking. Hopefully Hardy gets an academy award or two!t:

So here is me imitating Bane's voice, somewhat. I'm not English nor American, my natural voice is very, very different from this but I thought it'd be fun to imitate it. Very raw, recorded it and got the voice down in a matter of five minutes then did it through my ****** PC mic.
But there were some Americans there as well like Bird and Zombie, so he could learn how to imitate their accents if he learned six languages anyway.
I see some think that since Bane's father was British, he should or could have a British accent. Now, disclaimer first: I love everything about the movie Bane so far. I have no issue whatsoever with his voice, accent or whatever people think is wrong with his 'audio'.
Now,
Bane did not meet his father until very late in his career, years after Knightfall and with the help of Batman. And as some already pointed out, Bane grew up in Puerto Rican prison and Spanish was the first language he spoke and spent entire life with. But there were some Americans there as well like Bird and Zombie, so he could learn how to imitate their accents if he learned six languages anyway
Another fact that may not be known for everyone is that in moments of weakness, Bane speaks Spanish. When he has nightmares in Blackgate he screams things in Spanish, and when he has fevers from venom withdrawal he also uses Spanish
I think we could get a bit of Genghis Khan in Bane. Starting off small with his own men, but moving from location to location demanding civilian manpower. If you refuse, you're dead. Thoughts?
Well, Bale's Batman voice isn't something to be wowed by, either......My problem with Hardy's voice is not that it sounds British, but that he sounds like a cross between Dr Evil and Kenneth Williams, enjoying some bizarre sex game featuring crack and a leaky helium balloon.
It can't be what we will actually hear in the movie. Think for one moment. The audience would sit in stunned silence for a few seconds, before laughing their guts up.
over on nolan fans they said he gave an interview in empire magazine where it was stated his accent would be caribbean. Just thought Id pass it along.
