Whether one loves or hates Hardy's Bane voice there's no question he did put a lot of thought into the way the character should speak. Ultimately, it seems Hardy and Nolan mainly wanted to avoid a “neutral tone villain voice” by giving Bane a strange and distinctive way of expressing himself.
When asked how he came up with Bane's voice, Tom said: "That was actually a really cool choice that Chris [Nolan] made. Bane quintessentially is Latinx in origin of a character...and I'm not. "So I looked at the concept of Latin and found a character, a gentleman, a man called Bartley Gorman, who's a Romany gypsy..
Nolan and company then decided to redub Bane's scenes to make his dialogues easier to understand but without fully losing that menacing tone he originally had, and in comparison with the IMAX presentation, his lines are clearer, but many viewers still found it hard to understand him.
“It's based on a guy named Bartley Gorman,” he told us. (So, not Mr. Belevedere?) “He's the king of the gypsies, and he's a boxer, a bare-knuckle boxer, an Irish traveler, a gypsy.” If you are unfamiliar with the legend of Bartley Gorman, a clip from his 1995 documentary is below; the accent does not disappoint.
He tells the site, "The choice of the accent is actually a man called Bartley Gorman, who was a bare knuckle fighter. A Romani gypsy. Which I wanted to underpin the Latin, but a Romani Latin opposed to Latino. His particular accent is very specific, which was a gypsy accent.

Is Bane Latino or Hispanic?
He has a white father, and a Latina mother. But as someone who never knew his father until he was an adult, who was born and spent his formative years in Pena Duro, the prison colony of Santa Prisca, and now as a man who still considers Santa Prisca his home, Bane is Latino by nationality as well.
This comfort and satisfaction with his own isolation also extends to lovers; Bane is not entirely asexual, but it is true to say that romantic and sexual desire in him is somewhat stunted, almost childlike, due to it both having never really been explored thanks to his upbringing and life in captivity as well as it ...
"Bane is someone ravaged by pain from a trauma suffered long ago, and the mask dispenses a type of anesthetic that keeps his pain just below the threshold so he can function.
Bane was born in Santa Prisca, a fictional South American country, and grew up serving his father's prison sentence in Pena Duro Prison. (His father is Sir Edmund Dorrance AKA King Snake.) Bane can speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin which he learned in prison.
As Talia left the prison, Bane became overwhelmed by attackers, and was severely injured after the conflict was settled. Extremely disfigured after the fight, the prison's local doctor examined Bane, but could do nothing to ease his pain, other than wrap bandages around him.
While the substance often makes Bane practically unstoppable, Venom is also Bane's biggest weakness. Venom gives Bane a huge Achilles' Heel. When the tubes/mask are damaged, severing Bane's Venom supply, he immediately experiences excruciating withdrawal. That intense pain makes Bane easily fallible.
Bane has abnormal physical strength as a result of having undergone experiments involving a derivative of the drug Venom. He became known as "The Man Who Broke the Bat" when he broke Batman's back, forcing Bruce Wayne to give up the Batman persona while he recuperated.
Bane commanded absolute loyalty from his men and he was perfectly willing to sacrifice them in pursuit of his own goals. But he had one weakness: his crippling addiction to the performance-enhacing drug/supersoldier serum, Venom.
Gotham City fascinates Bane because, like Peña Duro, fear rules Gotham—but it is the fear of Batman. Bane is convinced that Batman is a personification of the demonic bat which had haunted his dreams since childhood. Therefore, Bane believes fate placed Batman on a collision course with him.
How much did Tom Hardy gain for his role? The actor gained over 30 lb which is over 13 kgs for his role as Bane. He managed to gain this much weight in a short amount of time—over 3 months — by adhering to circuit training that involved his essential body parts where he could gain muscle.
Ultimately, it seems Hardy and Nolan mainly wanted to avoid a “neutral tone villain voice” by giving Bane a strange and distinctive way of expressing himself. And there's no denying they succeeded in their aim of making Bane memorable.
Here's a quote straight from the mouth of director Christopher Nolan: Bane is someone ravaged by pain from a trauma suffered long ago, and the mask dispenses a type of anesthetic that keeps his pain just below the threshold so he can function.
Over his career, the Academy Award-nominated actor added slabs of muscle to play a mixed martial arts fighter in Warrior and the titular criminal in Bronson, but nothing compares to what he did to play Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. In fact, his Bane body transformation is still sticking with Hardy in a way.
In Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne inhaled the smoke of a hallucinogenic flour which triggered a hallucination of his greatest fear manifest, the bat he associates with falling into darkness and with the death of his parents.
Judging by the ending of The Dark Knight Rises, Bane is the final villain Christian Bale's Batman ever faces. And it's quite the climatic fight, as Bane clearly has the advantage in physical strength, yet still Batman is able to dodge and strike at all the key moments.
He may have some sort of mechanism that allows him to suck in liquefied nutrients through his mask. 2. He simply removes the mask while eating, and endures the pain.
Bane is a criminal who uses a special type of Venom to gain superhuman strength. He is an excellent fighter with high intelligence (IQ of 187) and an army of loyal mercenaries under his command including his most loyal lieutenant, Bird.
Batman has a number of trying villains in his rogues' gallery, but few that can actually match wits with him. Except for Bane who, on more than one occasion, has proven that he is without a doubt Batman's intellectual equal.
