Funny how Bale did it Batman Begins and no one said anything. The Dark Knight becomes super popular and then its an issue.

But when Kevin Conroy changes his voice the fanboy's all cream their utility belts.

The voice of Batman from the DC Animated Universe. Mark Hamill was the Joker to Conroy's Batman.

Bleeah.

I was more impressed when the Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin rumours were afloat.

Guy who has played Batman for a longer time than anyone else (almost 20 years now).

if he does the Batman voice for Arkham Asylum, then he's quite good, and doesn't sound like a badger when he speaks

Yes that's him. However you don't get a chance in game to contrast his Bruce Wayne voice.

does it matter? in AA Batman still sounds like an intelligent human being, not a chain smoking grandmother. if his voice is that much different as Bruce Wayne then it just goes to show how much more talented he is than Bale

I think Bale's Batman voice hate is over blown. But hey I still like Entourage so what do I know.

I don't think your grandmother is a women, Hemi.

Bale's Batman voice is suppose to 'disguise' his voice from Bruce Wayne.

There are little microphones on this collar (where the cape meets the suit) to pick up his voice. Speakers are placed in the 'ears' of his cowl. You can kinda see this in the construction of the suit in Batman Begins, as well as any making of/art of Batman documentary/book.

When I first herd Conroy in Arkham Asylum I thought he was mediocre, nothing special. By the end of the game I thought he was the best yet! Hamill as the Joker is still the best voice acting ever.

Was that your first experience with those actors in those roles? You poor unfortunate soul.

[Blaster86]

Something I feel I should note is that when Conroy first started doing Batman, his voice was **** for the exact same reason that Bale's is now.

I think because of the raspiness and gravelly tone, it takes a while to get your voice to do what you want. It wasn't till Season 3 or so of TAS that Conroy had the voice you hear in AA, Batman//Superman and Justice League.

I think it was Nolan's decision to use the digitally enhanced voice in the movies.

I hated it too but that doesn't make Bale a bad actor, it just means he (or someone) made a poor creative decision.

Bale and Nolan decided to use a more feral voice for Batman. Not sure if it was digitally enhanced. I heard it was just Bale trying to a)mask Wayne's voice and b) sound scary and primal.

Bale is too stiff and lifeless in all his roles. The guy has no charisma. He's like a real life Vincent Chase, minus the pretty boy looks for the ladies.

Funny because Vincent Chase is all charisma.

[GreenLantern]

I think Bale is actually a really good Bruce Wayne, just a terrible Batman.

Part of that is his voice, the other part is his ninja skills over shadowing his detective skills. That is writing though, so I can't really blame the actor. I do like Christian Bale, and I can't think of anyone who would do a better job in his place, just needs better writing.
