The only problem with the original voice was "one of us in the wreckage, brother". Even after seeing the movie, two of the most astounding lines in this movie are, in my opinion, in the prologue, and they both sounded better in the original version:

"No one cared who I was until I put on the mask"
"Yes. The fire rises"

Both just sounds more menacing, stern, self-confident and.. wicked. I just can't understand why they only kept "crashing this plane".

Overall, I love Hardy's voice and his interpretation of the character. I'm probably, as someone mentioned earlier in this thread, just spoiled for having heard the original voice first. Wish I didn't.

This hits on the only real beef I had with the prologue. The addition of the word "Yes." First time I saw that in the theater, I almost said "The fuck?" out loud.

Yeah, I liked how they changed his voice to make him sound clearer. Maybe just the "Of course!" which I thought sounded cheesier, yet kinda funny.

Yes, that "expect one of us in the wreckage" line is the hardest to understand in the original prologue, but I don't care. In the original prologue it sounded great, like music, just rolling off the tongue. In the new prologue, as someone else pointed out, about half the lines sound as though Hardy is reading them straight off a piece of paper as slowly as possibly just to make sure we can understand what he's saying - or, dumbing it down. Generally, I don't mind the new prologue. All but two or three lines sound great, still. But I definitely prefer the original one's menace, tone and musicality.

In the original he kinda grunts the word "yes"

Yeah but it sounds more like "yea"... the original line was much more better and there is no arguing. I only say this because when I heard it I knew nothing about Bane from TDKR. So when his brolic figure is holding a man in one hand and telling another man to kill himself with his other hand "Yeah, ::head nod:: the fire rises" sounds so much better

Too true! That "YES" is just there to really make sure the audience understands that a fire rises. Like, duh.

I liked the way he said, "Of course!" because it was very condescending, like, "Of course, you stupid moron! And I'm happy about it, aren't you?"

And has the effect of being unable to say/ think it without thinking of it in his voice

I know, right? I think that's how I'll say it to other people in my daily conversations, including the slight way he lifts when he says it.

The prologue blew me away the first time I saw it. I kinda wish nothing about it changed at all but oh well, what are you gonna do. Movie was still awesome.
