Mr. Bale is far too growly as Batman. He sounds like he’s about to lose his voice.
At least for the first viewing, I liked Two-Face better than the Joker (and now all my Batman friends are now shunning me for heresy)

Best theory I have is Bruce Wayne talks like that to disguise his voice.
I thought Two-Face was completely tacked-on and meaningless. Why did he turn to evil so easily?

I’ve heard quite a few people say they thought he overdid it with the gravely voice or were annoyed by it. I thought he purposely did it as a way to disguise his voice. A lot of people knew him as Bruce Wayne and if he talked normally people may be like “Bruce? Is that you?”
I suppose if you’re trying to disguise your voice as Batman gravely is the way to go. Sure beats a french accent or a real high squeaky voice.
I loved Batman Begins. Going to rewatch the Dark Knight tonight in Imax. On first viewing I found Dark Knight to be as good as Batman Begins in almost all ways, and a little bit other in others. Fun stuff, for sure.

Yeah, I mean look at Oldman’s performance in Leon back to back with him in Begins
That will give you an idea of his range.

Even more amazing, check out his performance in “True Romance”. Unreal!

I just saw Batman Begins and I fall into the voice-hater category. OK, so he wants to disguise it, but looked he try to sound a little less like a mentally challenged heavy smoker with a disorder that did not allow him to completely control his lips? Honestly, it was just annoying.
Now I want to make a video of Batman dialogue overdubbed with Tom Waits songs. Maybe if I had the time/software.
Actually I didn’t mind his voice because I accept that it’s to hide his voice.
Has anyone else noticed that Liam Neeson is turning into Anthony Hopkins? His character in BB was a classic Hopkins role.
