So I heard the audio from the prologue. Bane sounds menacing...he's like a cross between General Grievous and Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter and a million accents rolled into some accent of unknown origin. His voice is deep, and low, and methodical, and synthesized, and labored, choosing each word carefully. He sounds very powerful. Everyone around him sounds ready to shit their pants at his presence.

Good. He's supposed to be a genius....not... well, not what Joel did.
Sounds alright to me. I'm definitely on Bane's side here. Besides my opinion that Bruce Wayne has to go down in this movie, I never did like Bale. Personally, I thought immediately upon seeing the cast list, that the mantle will be passed on. After checking online views, I'm starting to see a lot of people came to the same conclusion.

I liked Bale for the most part, but I still hate his Batman voice. So annoying. Why couldn't he look at how Batman was voiced in the animated series?
I loved his voice in Begins, but he overdid it a bit in TDK. I don't mind it, though. I think his SWEAR TO ME scene in Begins is one of film's greatest scenes. I don't know what changed between that and TDK but it wasn't quite the same type of Batman voice.
I just rewatched the Begins version, and I really think it was amplified in post or something. It has this timber to it and this volume that feels like it's echoing throughout Bale's throat and the environment. In TDK it sounds like instead of letting the editing department amplify it he tried to do all of it himself. I could be wrong though, and I have read he did it all himself, but if so, he did not do it the same way in both movies.
EDIT: It's more authoritative, intimidating, and even angry in Begins. In TDK it just sounds out of breath.
But the question now is.... will he do it differently after everyone publicly trashed it? Would it remove you from the movie if he gave in that way? It IS 8 years later. Could've eased into being Batman.
Should he change it now? It is an interesting question.
Guys, I hate saying this. I know everyone's assuming that he kept being the Batman during the 8 year time span. My question is, why would he? More to the point, if he had been doing his Batman thing, why would the teaser shown have had Gordon saying that Gotham needs the Batman back? I think he's been spending the 8 years as Bruce. Just Bruce.
What I read is that the eight year span with Harvey Dent's name untarnished has had serious impact on Gotham, making it a better place and causing things to die down quite a lot. I doubt Batman's needed during that. I would be okay with Batman being a mantle passed down, like the Phantom and Zorro, even if it was different from the comics.
did anyone ever watch the Batman Vs The Dark Knight old vs new nostalgia critic?
I did. I mostly agreed with it and as good as both films were, the only problem I had with the 89 film was the ending, while 'Knight had minor annoyances throughout. Some didn't like how not much was explained in the 89 film and Batman himself had little character development. Personally, I liked that aspect, the viewer is a spectator. Batman is supposed to be a mystery.
Tim Burton's Batman seems to have THOSE kind of moments that I can't help but to... DISAGREE with. One of them is how it tries to explain the backstory of Joker. Nothing wrong with the idea of doing it, but I've always thought like an enormously twisted psyche such as his just cannot spark from "there", by which I mean where the character of Jack Nicholson starts from. I ADORED the way TDK handles the Joker; nobody has any single idea where he comes from. He's a spark of unpredictability and the true minority everyone else tries to bury away by diplomacy and even his roots (or lack thereof) reflect to this. Also in Tim Burton's version they kind of butchered Batman mythology, imo, as they destroyed the whole character of Joe Chill just to give more emphasis on the Joker, while the said emphasis of the threat of Joker could be given in much more effective ways. I also find Batman 89 to be painfully melodramatic, but some other person might come and slap me in the face by claiming that TDK is too cold and emotionless (which is another debatable point). So... yeah...
...I liked X-Men First Class a lot, on the other hand.
Yeah I just came to the opposite conclusion. DK was a better movie throughout.
Same here. Can't really judge Doug for his conclusion as he seems to be too used to the Batman he was exposed to during his childhood. There are a lot of common points between Tim Burton's first Batman movie and the first seasons of animated series (which he's a fan of), and I, for one, find both of them too carried away with the comic-book feel.
I beat the single player main story and was slowly working my way at finishing the side missions and the Riddler riddles. I had also met a few of the challenges. I'm not starting over again. I freaking hate GFWL. This should have been a Steamworks game.

That's Bane's voice...except when he speaks it's low and deep and he speaks with menace and purpose.

It was a quote from the game.

Gee, wouldn't have ever guessed that from the lack of quotation marks.:rolleyes:
If I put quotation marks then everyone would know its a quote.:rolleyes:
Oh yes. That monstrosity almost killed Bioshock 2 for me.
As much as I love "that guy who is in everything" Mr. Nolan North, I agree that Danny Devito would have been a better choice!

I love how language evolves to make even seemingly innocent words have sexual connotations.
