Bane Scenes Voice Batman Dark Knight Rises Monologues
There’s something hypnotic about Bane’s voice in Batman the Dark Knight Rises. The Joker’s character really worked on a visceral and visual level but Bane’s character strikes a different chord entirely. Bane is a diabolical foe with a physically commanding presence, but to me the greatest strength of the performance is the intonation and inflection of Bane’s voice combined with the content of his speech. Movies in the 21st century are saturated with terrorist masterminds yet Tom Hardy’s Bane stands apart. It’s a rarity that a performance can so thoroughly carry a scene with only audio and no visuals. I didn’t tape any video for fear of Youtube pulling down my montage… Enjoy.
