With Russia at war with the Georgia Republic, and the Olympics in full force in Beijing, it's time to turn to a really important topic: Christian Bale's bat-voice in THE DARK KNIGHT.
I have to agree that Bales's delivery of The Batman's lines in a throat-tearing growl was more distracting than impressive in several scenes -- particularly when compared to Heath Ledger's compelling vocal stylings for The Joker.
My personal opinion is that Kevin Conroy, who voiced the Caped Crusader for multiple Warner animated series, provided the best vocal stylings for Batman -- midway between the whisper Michael Keaton used in the Tim Burton movies and Gary Owens's deep-register boom for pseudo-Batman Space Ghost.
