He was perfect as Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins. And he was solid as Batman. I gave him a pass as the Batman character...because it was going to take time for him to be comfortable in that part.

In The Dark Knight....wow...Did he drop the ball or what. I knew it was going to be less about Wayne because of the other characters. He was still very good as Wayne, but man was he terrible as Batman. The voice was just terrible to listen to. I really couldnt wait till the Joker or Dent/TwoFace showed up again.

Now whats remarkable is that despite the "lead" lacking in the movie...it was still great.

Hope he does a better job in TDKR. I think Hardy will outdo him like Heath did...but c'mon Bale..at least hold your own..

I think he will tone it down in The Dark Knight Rises. Something tells me that this one will be less about the supporting characters and more about Bruce Wayne/Batman. His voice in TDK aside, he didn't really have that much to work with in the last movie.

I still don't get the people hating on the voice but whatever.

I thought Bale was fine in both movies. TDK was too damn long, could have been two movies.

I think Bale plays an excellent Wayne and is pretty damn good as Batman too.

I will never get the hate for the voice that people have. Would you rather Batman just sound exactly like Michael Keaton or George Clooney and in no way mask his voice? It makes sense for him to mask it and it's what he always did in the comics/animated series, etc.

His voice was a little extreme, but I always found it funny how in other superhero movies the superhero never changed his voice.

I'll get blasted for this, but I liked BB better than the DK...I could watch BB over and over...Saw the DK once or twice and that was enough for a couple years.

maybe i'm just an origin story kinda guy though

Ledger did such a great job as the Joker that it made Bale look worse.
