# Comedic Muffled Confrontations Bane Speaks Mocks the Voice Acting of Upcoming Batman Film By Jason Soy | Published 2011-12-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bane-speaks References: [geektyrant](http://geektyrant.com/news/2011/12/21/funny-dark-knight-rises-parody-video-bane-speaks.html) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW-BxAU2xvo&feature=player_embedded) Bane Speaks nails Christopher Nolan’s decision to use a muffled and distorted voice for the villain of the upcoming film Dark Knight Rises. Fans were already mocking the movies over Nolan’s decision to allow Christian Bale to use a husky voice whenever he was operating as Batman, but after audiences got a taste of Bane’s speech, many of them fear the entire movie will be inaudible, as lovingly demonstrated by this video. Bane Speaks has Batman and Bane on a rooftop in an exchange that’s hilariously incomprehensible, as pointed out by the actress playing Commissioner Gordon. At one point, the video employs [subtitles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-campaign) to help audiences understand what’s going on, but it quickly disintegrates into gibberish. Will The Dark Knight Rises ultimately be as hilarious as this [parody video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad)? I guess fans will have to wait until summer 2012 to find out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Muffled Voice Trend:** There is a growing trend of using muffled and distorted voices in films and media, creating opportunities for innovative voice editing and sound design techniques. - **Mocking Voice Acting Trend:** Fans are increasingly mocking and parodying voice acting in films, creating opportunities for comedic content creation and voiceover services. - **Inaudible Film Trend:** There is a trend of films featuring dialogue that is intentionally difficult to understand, opening opportunities for creative storytelling through visuals and non-verbal cues. ### Who This Affects Most - **Film and Media Industry:** In the film and media industry, there is a need for innovative voice editing and sound design techniques to create unique and immersive auditory experiences. - **Comedy Industry:** The comedy industry can capitalize on the trend of mocking and parodying voice acting in films by creating humorous content and offering voiceover services for comedic purposes. - **Visual Storytelling Industry:** In the visual storytelling industry, there is an opportunity to explore creative ways of conveying narratives through visuals and non-verbal cues in films with intentionally inaudible dialogue. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [Actor-Mocking Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-england-ipa.md) - [Film-Inspired Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection.md) - [Film-Inspired Condiment Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-smiles.md) - [Building Block Superhero Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batcave-shadowbox.md) - [Voice-Quieting Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voiceabsorbing-face-mask.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Popcorn Buckets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deadpool-wolverine1.md) - [Superhero Dramatic Game Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiderman-2-game.md) - [Spoof Sci-Fi Beer Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-x-rebel-moon.md)
