And may I be the first to say that Affleck couldn't do any *worse* than Bale?
Somebody had to say it.
What was with the stoopid I've-just-swallowed-a-handful-of-hot-gravel Bat-voice?
When watching all three Dark Knight movies,one of the character points was ,be something larger than just a man,and wear a disguise to protect thoase that matter to you.
Part of the mask/cowl/disguise,was the voice.How could he function as both Batman and Bruce Wayne,around people that know either one,without disguising his voice also?
One of the big downfalls of the Superman/Clark Kent "disguise"...eyeglasses...really?
Not so "stoopid",Bale is a gifted actor who elaborated on Keatons concept,of altering his voice while he was in his Batman persona........you should watch the first "Batman" from 1980.
As far as his performance as Bruce Wayne/Batman,he did an amazing job of,bringing to life,the duality and conflict of a very dark story.
So I must completly disagree with you assessment of Bales performance.I feel he was the best so far to don the cowl and cape.
Well... Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton, Christian Bale or Ben Affleck, none of them can impersonate, behave and act like me, perhaps it's time I do a biography film about my life... at least it will be the real thing
Coming to a theater near you.................summer 2015.............the Dark Knight returns,............Henri is....................BATMAN.....the caped drummer.
