Tom Hardy spoke to MTV about Bane's voice in The Dark Knight Rises. He's not worried and has watched some of the jokey videos about it.Gary Oldman was at a Q&A (via Collider) and hinted at a very emotional Alfred scene in The Dark Knight Rises:

Watching Michael Caine work, as Alfred, was a great lesson for me. Just focus, concentration. He has this emotional scene. I'm kidding you not. It was tears and the whole thing. And it's 'Take 1.' (Oldman snaps his fingers) He got it. 'Take 2? (snaps his fingers again), Got it. Take 3 (snaps his fingers) Got it. He's just on the money. Every single time. It's just extraordinary... You get inspired by it.
