It has been clearly established that Ra's Al Ghul & Talia Al Ghul are Moroccan. And it is assumed that The Pit is in Morocco.

Does this mean that we should assume Bane is also Moroccan? Or is it just coincidence that he was in a Moroccan prison and involved with two Moroccans?

An article written by NBC has the following quote.

DC Comics describes Bane’s father as a British mercenary and his mother a rebel from the Caribbean. His life spent in a jail on the fictional Caribbean Island of Santa Prisca, a seemingly Spanish name.

So basically Bane is half British, half Caribbean which would explain why he is so tanned yet still speaks perfect English.

But on the other hand this article about the comics speaks about a Caribbean prison (and maybe mixes in motives of Talia's movie version, being the child of a mercenary). So I don't think this can be taken as a real explanation for the movie version of Bane. But at least one could see the parallel between Caribbean identity and prison, which would speak for him being at least half Moroccan instead of Caribbean (which surely makes him tanned, too). – Christian Rau Aug 18 '12 at 9:19
