Minifig Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Anyone else hoping Bale learned his lesson with the ridicule he got for his Batman voice and it doesn't sound like a cat horking up a hairball in this last movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I hope so. That alone ruined TDK for me. I couldn't watch most of it because of his Batman voice. Only after continued prodding did I finally make it through TDK. (I wish you could mute specific people on DVD's or Blu-Ray lol) Teaser looked pretty good, but that's all it was. I don't know why people are going insane over it online. I know I am in the minority over my feelings of TDK and all, but come on people. Relax a little bit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Batman's voice is electronically disguised in line with an arc where he uses such a device to protect his Wayne identity. In the animated series Kevin Conroy did this himself, slightly changing his voice when voicing Bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bale has mentioned that he did get alot of flack for it in The Dark Knight and that he would tone it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to disagree with you until I just went and re-watched the trailer again. I listened very carefully and it sounds like Gordon says "we were in this together...and then you were gone". So I think you may be right, but then again, it was never really that hard to understand batman when he was talking to Gordon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathachew Veteran Posted July 20, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 20, 2011 BTW, if Gordon's talking and we hear Bale's responding thet he must have the suit, so that is his batman voice in this movie. I doubt that. Bale is talking softly and in the context of Gordon's words, it sounds like Batman has hung up his suit. Why would Wayne say, "What if he doesn't exist anymore?" while donning the suit? To me it sounded more like Liam Neeson talking first in the trailer :| Gordon was talking to Wayne after Liam Neeson's voice over was done, which was from Batman Begins.

In the animated series Kevin Conroy did this himself, slightly changing his voice when voicing Bats. Kevin Conroy has been doing animated voice acting for years though, it's his job, really good VAs can change their voice to cover many different characters if they're worth their weight. Live action actors can often do different accents when needed but that sorta high to low voice altering work is something you won't see them do often, if ever.

Why would Wayne say, "What if he doesn't exist anymore?" while donning the suit? Gordon was talking to Wayne after Liam Neeson's voice over was done, which was from Batman Begins. I can't remember where, but I heard he dons a temporary mask for the visit to Gordon in the hospital, which would explain how he can say "What if he doesn't exist anymore?" without revealing his identity.

shifts Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It's the last piece of actual footage shown at the end of the teaser trailer. On another note, looks like Batman may have actually met his match, because he looks super tired in that scene. This movie definitely has potential to be better than TDK. You HAVE to find and read Batman Knighfall. Its one of the best graphic novels I have ever read in my life. I'm choosing not to get too excited about this as there is a lot building up to the potential plot line involving Bane and Batman/. It's going to be hard to convey what Batman goes through to get to the point of meeting Bane without the joker and the penguin (in the book) being about.

Minifig Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The voice wasn't Bale's choice it probably was the writer or the director's, The writer and Christopher Nolan had nothing to do with the voice. He said the hardest thing about getting into character was getting the voice down. Batman is known to have a signature scruffy voice, and that was a huge challenge for Bale. He says, "On the first film, it took me a while to really get accustomed to the voice but it's like riding a bike. For the second one, I could just switch on and off any time." http://www.hollyscoop.com/christian-bale/christian-bale-struggled-with-batmans-voice.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The next series will likely be Nolan productions too, Warner said that this spring, though he probably won't direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
