Although now Tom Hardy may be known in the superhero world as Venom and Eddie Brock, he was earlier more prominently known for the role of Bane inThe Dark Knight Rises.The entire trilogy by Christopher Nolan gets praise even after years of its release. The uniqueness that it brought to the character of Batman and the way it saw every single villain, especially Heath Ledger’s Joker, was incredible.
The impact the trilogy had on the fans still makes it one of the most accurate representations of a superhero and what many might term a comic book movie done right. However, not everything was appreciated about the trilogy. That was something even Hardy had noticed and knew that something would have to change in order for the audience’s response to change as well.

Tom Hardy’s Voice Was Incomprehensible
Tom Hardy’sBane was one villain that got quite a lot of praise from the fans. He proved to be just right despite knowing that he would always be compared to Heath Ledger’s Joker. From his costume to his acting, everything was on point. However, one aspect that grew concern in both Hardy andChristopher Nolanwas Bane’s voice.
According to the response the early test screenings got, Bane’s voice was barely legible to the audience, and even after focusing specifically on it, they couldn’t understand most of what he was trying to say. His voice was already getting mixed responses so he knew that something had to be done about his dialogue to make the film better. So Hardy decided to re-record a majority of his dialogue so as to improve the audience’s opinion ofThe Dark Knight Rises.His dedication to the role did not let him shy away from trying harder and harder until he had perfected it from the fans’ perspective.

Tom Hardy Put His Childhood On The Line
Tom Hardy revealed once that he was one of the biggest fans of Batman when he was a child. He was the actor’s favorite hero and the way he looked up at him while growing up was filled with inspiration, hope, and awe. However, playing a villain who was not only yearning to destroy everything in Gotham City but also his childhood, had crushed him dearly.
Seeing him on set and fighting against him was slowly breaking Hardy from the inside. His love for Batman inspired him to take the role and work on it until he believed it to be perfect. His determination fought against his younger self wanting to protect the hero he so passionately respected.
