wow, it really is! thanks for the link.

i still wanna hear him do the actual bane voice without the mask, though. oh, well, life is full of wanting things that will never happen, haha!


Or as Daggett said, "Want doesn't get." :lol: Yeah, that would be cool to hear Tom do. "Do you feel in chahge?" Love that accent. :-D

Not only did Nolan perhaps want the audience to understand Bane better in that scene, but what if Bane altered his voice to get his point(s) across more clearly? I mean they are in an airplane, that high up, it would be considerably noisy. He seemed to alter his voice for certain situations throughout the movie (being loud during Blackgate speech, creepy quiet talking with Bruce in the pit, eerily sinister before killing Daggett), perhaps it was intended for Bane to sound clearer to make more of a statment to CIA guy? I don't know for sure I was just guessing, what do you guys/girls think?


Ive heard both comparisons from the prologue and the final cut and what you say could be very well true, given the idea of being in a noisy plane. Still to me, the final cut of the airplane scene was the only noticeable difference in Bane's voice as far as pitch. His tone throughout the movie fluctuated depending on his intent and emotion. It was almost like he was 'lighter' while he was in the airplane..if that make sense..not as brooding and dark, but I do think his sarcasm and condescending tone played a part in talking to the CIA guy. ;-)

Totally! He was absolutely toying with the CIA jerk from start to finish (and what a finish it was! :lol: ). You only hear the "real" Bane when he says, "With no survivors!" The "lighter" feel that you talk about is evident again when he tells his minion that he needs to go down with the plane, and the minion smiles with utter admiration and adoration and asks, "Have we started the fire?" and Bane lightly yet triumphantly responds, "Yes! The fire rises!" (cue the pounding drum line that followed :-D ).

Love what he does with his eyes in that scene too..he does little squint thing as if to say..... who do you think you are talking to? you are nobody, you have no power over me, you sad, sad little boy..It is incredulous for you to think you have ANY sort of power over me. I will crush you. ;)

I don't get people who don't like Bane... he's the coolest masked character since Rorschach (and like Rorschach, basically every line he says is ridiculously cool and badass).

I loved how Bane seemed to take great pleasure in saying the line, "Speak of the devil...and he shall appear." Hardy putting that little pause/beat in there made it even more awesome.

Another favorite pronunciation of Bane's is in the stadium scene when he says, "...those attempting to FLEE," and how he kind of dips downward when he says "flee". :clap: Hardy rocks.

My favorite Bane lines:

"Speak of the devil...and he shall appear."
"Then why are you people here?"
"Let's not stand on ceremony here, Mr. Wayne."
"I was wondering what I should break first! Your spirit...or you're body!"
The entire conversation he had with Bruce in the prison. I was one of the few who thought this was one of the most emotional scenes in the film. I felt Bruce's pain.
The entire Blackgate speech.
"You'll just have to imagine the fire!"

I agree with your many selections as excellent. :twothumbsup: The "Mr. Wayne-nah" line is so iconic. Bruce should have answered, "Mr. Bane-nah." :lol:
