Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 9:13PM 'Dark Knight Rises' Prologue Script Leaked?

A couple of days ago I joined pretty much everyone else in saying that while the Dark Knight Rises prologue was an amazing piece of action, the inability to understand Bane's voice was worrying. It's a sentiment I still mostly share, but what looks to be the portion of the script that covers the prologue has turned up online, meaning that if even if we didn't understand Bane in the movie theater, at least we can figure out the details what he is now saying. You can read it here, at wwtdd.com.
I'm not convinced that this is a genuine leak, as it seems a little convenient that only this part of the script would pop up and not anything else, not to mention it contains a few suspicious formatting errors. A fan could just as easily found a bootleg prologue online, listened to it over and over, and just transcribed it. Either way, it doesn't really matter because after reading the script and getting to compare it directly with the prologue seen again through...certain means (cough), the written dialogue fits what it sounds like Bane is saying perfectly. It may be fan-written, but it's unquestionably accurate.
To give another two cents about Bane's voice, I'd like to say that the second time that I watched the prologue (and this was before reading the "leaked" script) I had a much easier time understanding what he was saying. Granted, part of this was because I had better grasp of what was happening and was able to connect things more, but the more I got used to the tones and inflections of Bane's voice, the easier it was to quickly understand. That's not to say Bane's voice doesn't need tweaking, but I think that just hearing what we have of his it will make him easier to understand once the full movie comes out. Of course, if we still can't in the final film, be sure you can come here to see it mocked!

I don't know if you've already posted it, but apparently there's already a teaser video for The Dark Knight Rises (it's in English with Spanish subtitles). I hope you like it ;)
