Just saw it again today. Unlike most second viewings I didn't really catch anything I missed the first time, which says a lot about how riveted I was to the screen.
Slight SPOILERS ahead. If you haven't seen the movie, look away.
On Bales' voice; the only time I felt it sounded forced, was at the end, when the Joker is hanging upside down, and they are having their final exchange. BUT, Batman had spent the last 5 minutes getting beaten by the Joker, and having a large metal object on his throat. In between sentences he winced in pain and held his side, plus he was YELLING at the Joker who was hanging outside the building. This is the only time the "growl" sounded forced to me, and it's because he would be yelling and having to project more at this point. To me, that's just good acting.

well when I think of old school (Blue suit) of course is West
But when it's movies
Keaton was the best Batman in costume,sucked as Bruce(Bruce should be a good looking dude)
Kilmer was the worse one
Clooney the best looking Bruce
Bale the best all around Batman (Total Package)
for some reason,I guess cause of my childhood,the 89 one will always be my fave"Time to nut up or shut up"

I don't think your comparision fits because you're forgetting something. These movies aren't "remaking" the character, or updating them. Batman as a character has been constantly evolving and changing since he was first written. It's not like they brought back something that hadn't been around for 30 years and updated it to make it modern. Batman has always been modern. What is modern changes with the passing of time though. The Batman of the 60's TV show fit the Batman of that time period. He was altered a bit in the 70's and that reflected in his cartoon appearances of the era. He's always changed to fit the times.
The dark gritty Batman in todays movies isn't an updated version of the 60's Batman. He's an adaptation of the character that has been in comics in this dark gritty form for over 20 years.
But there is a happy medium that unfortunatly Hollywood doesn't choose to pursue, and one which I forgot when thinking about those that played Batman.
Sandy's Batman Dead End was a nice cross between the classic look Batman and the dark gritty character he is today. More true in look and feel to today's comic Batman than all the movies with their black rubber suited armored Batman. Too bad we couldn't see more of it.Comment

Bingo!!!!!!!! This is what I was hoping for when they announced the New movies.... Bale would have rocked looking like this........If it wasn't for the cowl and cape you wouldn't know it was Batman.
