Was Bane’s Voice the Bane of Your Existence? The Best & Worst Bane Voice Parodies (VIDEO)

Love it or hate it, chances are you probably saw The Dark Knight Rises over the weekend and most likely heard, er, most of it.  Talkback about the film since its release seems to focus primarily over whether or not you heard what the hell Bane was saying, with opinions ranging from those who claim to have understood every utterance from Gotham's conqueror, to those who think Christopher Nolan had Tom Hardy record his dialogue on an old Talkboy he'd found when cleaning out his garage.

Bane's voice has been a point of contention among die hard fanboys and anyone who isn't hearing impaired since footage was released last year and the internet hasn't been slow on running with it. Because if there's you can count on finding when a big comic book movie is released, it's amateur parodies on Youtube. So we take a look at some of the Bane Voice parodies out there.

This animated one is definitely worth a view if only to hear Batman finally utter the soon-to-be immortal line of, 'The Dark Knight doesn't fight the mentally challenged!'

Here's one for all the fans of The Muppet Show out there.

Despite the shoddy production value of this next one, it earns bonus points for pitting Bane's high school PA System voice modulator to Batman's lung cancer baritone.

At the other end of the spectrum is one of the lesser amusing ones, but is watchable because we get to re-watch some of the Bane prologue from Rises and get a chuckle out of wondering how much time someone will waste applying Joker make-up on themselves.
