Henry Silva or Hector Elizondo?


I will always remember Henry silva as Bane.He gave a really dark,creepy voice for Bane.Elizondo makes a Bane a little calmer here.What do you guys think?

Definitely Silva. Whenever his dialogue includes a line about "breaking" someone, Silva's delivery gives me the chills.

Hector Elizondo. Easily. Henry Silva sucks.

I love classic monsters.

I guess Silva by default as I didn't like Elizondo in the part at all. It just sounded like the actor Hector Elizondo doing a reading of Bane's line as opposed Elizondo, reading lines in-character as Bane.

Hector Elizondo. His voice was better and sounded more south american.

I always liked Hector Elizondo's voice as Bane. I don't know if he was necessarily the scariest voice actor, but he has a certain calm to him and a certain sense of class. For some that may be out-of-character, but for me that helps create a sense of unease because it almost makes him sound too intelligent to be coming from some hulking wrestler/terrorist, like he has a plan for everything. Plus Elizondo has that Spanish-esque voice making him sound vaguely Central or South American, which helps to reinforce the luchador-style of Bane.

Definitely better than Tom Hardy. As a villain in general Hardy did a good job, but for some reason whenever I think of the Bane from the cartoons or the comics I always think of Elizondo's voice even though it was just for Mystery of the Batwoman.

At least one decent thing came out of this movie.

Can't be too careful with all those weirdos running around.
