Yesterday thousands of extras filled up Heinz Field for a scene in The Dark Knight Rises. Bane showed up, and while it's hard to hear him, we get our first listen at what he might sound like. Check out the video of Bane's scene and photos from the shoot, courtesy of some really brave fans. No huge plot points are revealed, but if you're avoiding spoilers, don't watch the video!

If you look at ChangeTheChannel's other videos from the shoot, you'd see that the Tumbler also makes an appearance at the Heinz Field shoot. Question... Why are all the Tumblers in camo vs. black?

Well batmans was black and Bane knows were batman got his tumbler and bane stole himself some from the impound lot at were they are kept, and the original default color of the tumblers is brown camo, batman sprayed his black though, and the brown really matches banes appearance, Basically Bane is a mirror image of Batman, he was trained by the same person as batman in the ninja code, expect bane is stronger because he is pumped up with performance inhancers, but him and batman think very alike.

They won't use that voice in the film, Nolan knew that leaked footage of the scene would end up on the web so he probably just told Hardy to change his voice.

Oh my God, I hope they overdub his voice in the studio. Maybe Hardy can't talk with the mask on and they'll have him record a new voice when the filming is over. Because, that sounds awful. Not at all fitting the character in my opinion. He sounds like Alfred's wimpy nephew.
The more info that leaks, the more nervous I'm getting. I need to stop looking at leaks.

That's actually a GREAT point that I hadn't considered: yes his voice sounds odd, but with that mask on there's almost no way that's his finished voice. It would almost have to be redubed after principle photography is completed.

His Voice sounds amazing...
I'm kinda surprised people are upset that he isn't Hispanic, why is that such a big deal? This is Hardy and Nolan's portrayal of Bane, it's NOT gonna be a direction translation of the comics.
I think having a creepy, British accent gives the character a lot more depth and personality.
I like it.

There is nothing creepy about a British accent.. It just sounds girly, out of line, not even rude or scary.. Want a creepy accent? African, Iraqi or Israeli, German... that's a creepy accent.

He sounds like someone out of some Shakespearean play.

How is this a major plot detail? A villain is challenging Batman to show his identity. What else is new?

He sounds like a dorky English man to me.. Hate the voice, i swear i almost though he was about to say DEAR SIR, I'D FANCY CRUMPETS WITH MY TEA KIND SIR.. . Should've gone for a deeper/raspy/Spanish voice..

You might think its bad, but Mexican Bane would not work as well in TDKR, Bane is from the league of shadows and they have no connection to Mexican/Spanish whatsoever, it will obviously look better in the final film, after all, the reason he talks with an english accent, is that he was raised by Ras Al Ghul(Liam Neeson) so the british accent works.

Liam Neeson is Irish not English, so that doesn't actually make a whole lot of sense. Also I seriously doubt that's the voice we'll hear come July 2012.

I know that hes my 3rd cousin, but for batman begins his voice was to sound more english, and after all tom hardy is english, and it is probably rather hard for him to change it

I can imagine Mexican Bane coming out threatning to destroy Gotham, if he doesn't get his hourly wage as a school janitor of 1 dollar up to 1.50, lol it wouldnt work especially with Christian Bale saying stuff to him like " Why do you wanna kill me!!" and Bane replying with "Ce?"
9 likes
That was completely ignorant and racist.
And Bane isn't even Mexican! He's from a fictional Caribbean island. I'm no fan of political correctness, but if you're gonna stereotype people at least get their nationality correct.
P.S. Minimum wage is around $7. And it's not " Ce" its "Que".

At least we know how he'll sound like in the film so no more spanish related theories for his character but his dialouge sounds like that of a revolutionary :) very interesting,I cant wait to see how this turns out!

I can't believe you guys are posting this right now. I was there and really hoping the extremely significant information that we were entrusted with would not be leaked.

I'm not going to be posting major plot details, but until YouTube is asked to take down the video, I think it's cool that we get a good listen at Bane. Unfortunately there's no way the information will be kept secret...but I don't want to know anything about it!

Umm.. To me that was a major plot detail. Maybe you couldn't but im sure the other true batman fans will be able to figure out what he's saying. I know I was able too. No there is no way to keep the info secret, but that doesn't mean you have to spread it more through your website.

Eddy, with all due respect man no one forced you to watch it. If you dont want to know then dont watch.

Well this is a batman-news site and the only reason to keep coming here is if you want spoilers about the movie otherwise there would be no articles on this site or nothing to talk about. If chris only told us that bane appeared on the field and that some guy filmed it....we would all probably search for it anyways.
I'm not happy about the spoilers either but I don't think it's this website's fault. Chris is just doing what this site is meant for. It's the idiots in Pittsburgh who are camping out in trees next to the sets so they can record every single shot filmed who are to blame.

Not to throw Shad on your opinon brother, but he can still have the exact same background an NOT actually be Spanish. His father could have been a Brit who was in a foreign country as a political or social uprising occured... Etcetv. Bane ends up the little British boy in a dirty South American Prison! Works perfectly in some ways. Keep the faith!...and don't eat eachother over this

I gotta say while it was interesting to hear Bane's unfinished voice (I swear I laughed sooo hard!!!), this is undoubtedly a huge spoiler. I was thinking at the football scene there would be a big fight but it seems like Bane will stage a live execution or something.
This would have been a really chilling and impactful scene....and now we've seen it. Granted, the scene is nowhere near completion so the effect will still be huge (especially when we hear what bane's voice will really sound like), we're all probably still gonna be blown away by it, but still.....add this to the list of huge spoilers.
I'm turning into the guy who always complains about spoilers yet keeps coming to this site lol. I don't even know what I want! hahaha
