9 movie mumblers who still have clearer diction than Bane

Debate is STILL ongoing on whether or not Christopher Nolan has cleaned up Bane's incomprehensible dialogue in The Dark Knight Rises: some say new scenes are crisper, others say he's more mumbly than ever. One thing is for sure, the following nine guys - even with their very different speech impediments - are still easier to follow than Bane.

Mumbles from Dick Tracy


Bertie from The King's Speech


Fenster from The Usual Suspects


Rooster Cogburn from True Grit


B.A. Baracus from The A-Team


The jailers from Monty Python's Life Of Brian


Jonah Hex from Jonah Hex


Beaker from The Muppets


The teacher from Charlie Brown


Sassen frassen rassen.

EXCITING UPDATE: Reader 'MarkShek' pointed out that we forgot Brad Pitt's mumbling Mickey from Snatch. In true Radio 1 DJ style, this one goes out to you, MarkShek! (*pushes giant lever for some reason*)



EVEN MORE EXCITING UPDATE: I forgot this one too.



THE MOST EXCITING UPDATE EVER: Couldn't let a feature on speech impediments go by without including this. Wow, I really didn't think this through when I wrote it.
