Was Bane's dialogue spoken during filming or dubbed in during post?
In the film The Dark Knight Rises, Bane wears a mask that covers the bottom half of his face. This obscures his mouth and jaw such that it's pretty hard to tell when the actor is actually speaking. The clarity and audio quality of his speech seemed a little off. During the filming, was he speaking the recorded dialogue, or did they have the actor go back later and rerecord the dialogue which was then added in post-production?
Best Answer
It was added in post. It is well documented that many audience members found his speech inaudible during the opening scene which was shown with M:I 4 - so Nolan went back in and reconfigured the audio. See The Hollywood Reporter article (one of many)
Naturally Hardy would have said his lines during filming so that everyone else could react to them, but it would have always been the intention to dub them afterwards as it is very hard to mic someone wearing a mask of that type.

Is Bane dubbed?
Bane's voice in 'The Dark Knight Rises' was almost impossible to understand. According to Screen Rant, the voice Hardy used for Bane during a preview scene was so hard for test audiences to understand that he had to re-dub his dialog. But there was a good reason why Hardy was doing so much with his voice in the role.Is Banes voice edited?
Nolan initially denied that Bane's voice was changed for the theatrical release of The Dark Knight Rises, saying that \u201cthings would come into focus\u201d once the film was released, but the changes were very obvious, even for those who didn't get to watch the IMAX version.The legend of ras al ghul /Thalia Al Ghul and Bane

Answer 2
30% of the movie was adr, a low percentage for a hollywood blockbuster. I think that percentage holds for Bane's dialog.
