One of the most complained about aspects of the Dark Knight saga is that damn bat-voice. Though Christian Bale kept it relatively reigned in for Batman Begins, by The Dark Knight, he sounded like he'd been smoking 8 packs a day while drinking a few bottles of Hennessy on the side. This is particularly painful during his final conversation with The Joker, where he sounds constantly out of breath, which when he's delivering a supposedly "epic" monologue, really dilutes its impact. At least Nolan sort-of makes fun of this in TDKR, with the "so that's what that feels like" scene, but much like how audiences accept that Superman's friends can't tell that he's Clark Kent despite it being painfully obvious, audiences would likely just accept that Batman's voice sounds kinda like Bruce's. It's easier to buy than a guy walking around with these ridiculous vocal intonations, or better yet, couldn't Batman have just had a freaky digital voice-changer or something? Given all the other tools in his repertoire, it's not exactly asking a lot. What facts about Nolan's trilogy have you just had to accept to enjoy the movies? Shout it out in the comments!
