Let's end the debate once and for all: Christian Bale's "Batman" voice

[acri1]

Ever since Batman Begins came out in 2005, people have been steadily arguing about whether or not Christian Bale's gravelly, raspy batman voice is good, bad, or just silly. Some people like it and appreciate the fact that it makes him sound different than he does as Bruce Wayne. Other people think it's ridiculous.

So where you stand? Do you think he did a good Batman voice? And awful one? How would you do the Batman voice if it was up to you?



Personally I have no issues with the voice, though I can kind of understand why someone might not like it.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

The worst, u can't have a film with Batmans in-mask personality with Bales voice
He plays a good Bruce Wayne but that's it

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Justice League w/ Christian Bales Batman

Superman: You must distract him in order for me to disable the mechanism

Batman: you can count on me

Superman: fukk u said? Speak up!

 

[(ALi)]

That shyt was the worst thing I've heard in my life and after Begins it bordered on parody.

He should have done it the way voice actor did it. His real voice as batman and a higher pitched voice as Bruce Wayne.

I didn't even notice it until I read about it on the innanets.

Now, every time I watch it, I can't help but notice how horrible it is.

same here

lets be real, he does have to use a different voice

 

[ThaRebel]

It annoyed the shyt outta me in the first 2 movies but it noticed after watchin the 3rd that it didn't bother me at all in that one. I don't know if he switched somethin up or if I just was used to it by then.

 

[Versa]

I'm fine with it. Bruce Wayne always changed his voice in Batman mode. Since it's the Nolan batmans, the grizzly/raspy voice was a more realistic take than the making his voice deeper IMO.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Only had a problem with it at the end of the second when he was getting his monologue on

 

[Grifter]

Everytime he tried to yell.

 

[jackswstd]

Wasn't he disguising his voice though? It didn't bother me as much as say a guy taking off his glasses and parting his hair a different way.

That shyt Kills Me Every Time. Like Yall Really Cant Tell Its That nikka Clark

 

[Master Teacher]

I don't know why they just didn't hire somebody to the do the batman voice over and just overdub pale, shyt they gotta redo all the voices in post production anyway
In Begins the voice wasn't that bad to me, except at the end when he said "it's who I am underneath but what I do that defines me" it just sounded weird, but when he was interrogating the crooked cop and delivered the "Swear to me" line pretty well in the voice without sounding ridiculous
Dark Knight Rise tho, shyt was terrible all the way through, Dark Knight was ok really bad at the monologue like somebody else mentioned

 

[Champion]

There's nothing to debate. It's terrible.
