Sure Bane is hard to hear, but that accent is so awesome. It's as if Sean Connery decided to take a whack at being a Batman villain. That and the way Thomas Hardy acts with his movements and his eyes is mesmerizing, particularly in his speech to Gotham on the steps of the capitol building.
LOL I did find his treatment of the character and voice imaginative (more imaginative than Bale's Batman voice) but when you mention that, now I can only think of this... ;_;
