TDKR: The Bane Problem Fixed?

Has the Bane problem as it's known in Christopher Nolan's sequel The Dark Knight Rises been solved?


When the film's IMAX prologue and the 2nd Trailer debuted three weeks ago concerns over an inability to understand Bane (Tom Hardy) abound with Warner Bros. looking into tweaking the masked villain's voice to make it less muffled and clearer but helmer Nolan said that had no plans to rework the voice save for a minimal adjustment.

Collider posted a report from a source claiming to be an IMAX projectionist who has reportedly received a new soundtrack to go with the prologue - one which is said to lower the background noise (specifically the plane engine noise) so that Bane's voice stands out better.

The source adds the voice is now "40-50% [clearer], because he’s no longer being overpowered by the background noise that drowned him out before."

Folks were asked after the screening if they could understand him and everyone said they had no issues

Warners has not confirmed any such event or issued any statement about any audio changes for the pic.

Christian Bale Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Marion Cotillard Josh Pence, Alon Aboutboul and Nestor Carbonell star along with return of the trilogy's ensemble cast such as Morgan Freeman Gary Oldman and Michael Caine Cillian Murphy might be making a cameo

Matthew Modine Tom Conti Joey King Daniel Sunjata Diego Klattenhoff Christopher Judge "CSI: Miami" co-star Adam Rodriguez and Burn Gorman take on secondary roles. Rob Brown and Italian actor Massi Furlan have small roles in the film as well

Nolan called action on the DKR from a screenplay he wrote with bro Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Nolan and David S. Goyer.

The sequel is set to hit theaters on July 20th, 2012.
