Dark Knight f/u (no spoilers)

Seriously, someone was talking about Christian Bale's voice in Batman. I hadn't paid attention to Bale's in the previews, but seeing it in the movie was so distracting. Now I just saw a preview and I noticed it this time.

Is it different than in the other movies? He's always done the growl when in costume.

ETA: wait, did you mean Bane's voice?

[teflep]

Yes, banes voice. Christian bale could talk in a high pitch and I wouldn't care.

Dude could grunt, scream, sing opera, or be silent and I wouldn't care. ;-)

I read a review that dinged Bane's voice as unintelligible. I think it was NPR.

[teflep]

Yeah, sometimes I couldn't even understand what he was saying.

Bane's voice is silly. It's hard to understand sometimes through the mask so he has to put a lot more emphasis on forceful statements, and then it turns into a somewhat high pitched squeal. Not menacing at all.

There were only two spots where I couldn't quite make out what Bane was saying. All of the hysteria about him being completely unintelligible did not prove true for me. Oh, and the movie was hella amazing. YWIA!

I loved it. Yes Bane's voice could be ridick, but overall I thought it worked.

this, totally. Just got back - loved it.

I almost had to giggle at Bane's voice... like a mean Sean Connery

His lips were supposed to have been ripped off. I think he sounded perfect for speaking through a mask with no lips.

I thought the movie was fantastic. I wasn't sure that I would like Anne Hathaway, but I ended up loving her as Catwoman.
