Just a couple a weeks ago Nolan told
THR that he had no plans to rework the sound mix. Any chances to Bane's voice would be minimal, even though many fans such as myself has a very difficult time understanding whatever the hell Bane was saying. I mean Batman growling is tough enough, but to hear Tom Hardy's gentiled Darth Vader like voice is nearly impossible to decipher at times.
The source for
Collider has good news, so don't fret. He says the quality of Bane's dialogue is clearer by as much as
40% to 50%. Which sounds like Nolan has made some major corrections. The source goes on to say, "because he’s no longer being overpowered by the background noise that drowned him out before.”
“A friend of mine who is an IMAX projectionist told me they received a new soundtrack for the Dark Knight Rises prologue. He said it’s now a combo soundtrack with Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, but the cool thing about this is that they’ve cleaned up the dialogue. They’ve gone in and lowered the background noise of the plane and other things, thus making Bane’s dialogue clearer and more understandable. He asked some people after they left the movie if they could understand Bane and they all said they had no issue understanding him, and were excited for the movie.” - Collider
Here is another chance to hear the original voice of Bane that has given people such a hard time. Are you glad that Bane's voice is being corrected?
