Thread: They should've dubbed Kevin Conroy's bat-voice over Christian Bale's bat-voice

    Default They should've dubbed Kevin Conroy's bat-voice over Christian Bale's bat-voice

    Do you agree or not? I think they should've done that because if the Star Wars franchise could do it why couldn't the Batman franchise do it? So far Kevin Conroy has the best Batman voice in my opinion.

    Anything would've been better then Bale, he made a great Bruce but as Batman he sounded like he had something plugging his nose, so he tried to just talk through the throat. "SWEAR TO ME!"

    I know but have you ever listened to Conroy's bat-voice? It's awesome in my opinion!

    yeah, I would say that Bales 'bat-voice' was the only bad part of the film.
    changing his voice to hide his identity is an obvious idea, but making him sound like he has smoked 50 a day since he was 7? no ta
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    Bale's "Batman voice" wasn't bad in Batman Begins, and was in fact realistic that he tried to disguise his voice.

    It was absolutely horrible in The Dark Knight, though.

    I thought Bale sounded cool with his "Bat voice". I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

    Agreed. I had no problem with it. In fact, I found his voice to be absolutely amazing when he was enraged in The Dark Knight especially.

    The tone of his voice matched the tone of the movie. Batman was transitioning from Gotham's welcome hero to an outcast of almost villain-like popularity. Gotham didn't want Batman anymore and he understood it, so his voice took a darker tone to it to match how he felt when he donned the suit.

    I still haven't seen it yet, but those of you that have a problem with Bale's bat-voice may find this lulzy, although it goes on for a while.

    Watch the movie again and look at the mask.

    It sounds stupid but if you think about it the effect was to make him more scary as Batman. I mean, wouldn't you be scared senseless if someone leapt out of the shadows and grabbed you and said 'WHERE IS HE!' in that voice. I would poop my pants and tell him everything.

    His voice is meant to represent someone who cannot be reasoned with, and I think Bale pulled that it off quite nicely.

    I like the idea, but it just sounds so silly.

    I didn't have much of a problem with Bale's voice to be honest. It wasn't great, but wasn't as bad as some people thought.
