I completely agree, but he sounds ridiculous. A legitimate growl would be different. It shows that Bale is out of his voice range. Then again, it shows the evolution of Batman – perhaps that he is still becoming the hero with all of its trappings.

I don’t really understand your beef with Batman’s voice. What do you want him to do? Talk normally, and be recognized? Like you said, he has to disguise his voice somehow, and better deep and raspy (quite intimidating and could scare his opponents) than squeaky or robotic, or any other alternative I could think of.

I loved it! The Joker had me in chills several times throughout.
I agree on Batman’s voice… while it didn’t really take me out of the movie, there were a few moments where I found myself reaching for coughdrops.
