    Well, Bane was definitely difficult to hear in the Theater I saw it in. But it was real creepy. And I think that is more important.

    I think there's gonna be mixing done to make Bane's voice easier to hear, but obviously they're not going to revamp the entire approach and ADR the whole thing in a new accent. I really don't see why everyone's making a big deal out of this. This is what EQ's and sound engineer's are for.

      Bobby It's better that people make a big deal about it now while there's still time to fix it than for it to be released the way it is.

    I saw it in the IMAX, and I was struggling to try and understand what he was saying. I could only understand a word here and there. I thought maybe it was just me, but I guess it's an actual issue.

    I'm usually pretty good at making stuff out, even when others find it hard to understand, but I had to replay that 5 times to figure out what he said, and I'm not going to have that luxury in a theater :/

    I'm sure Nolan just doesn't want to admit to a problem, he'll probably clean it up in post-production and claim that people were just imagining things. Which, to be clear, I'm totally fine with.

    If a person can't follow a Batman movie because Bane isn't always intelligible, that person has bigger problems.

    It was a bit difficult at first but you get used to his voice and are able to understand what he says throughout the movie, just like batman when no one had any clue what he was saying in the dark knight
