Batman's voice gets technical
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 by Amber
Sorry I'm a bit late this morning.
Here is a fun tidbit for all you Batman geeks out there: Apparently, Christina Bale's Caped Crusader has taken a lot of flak lately about the dark, raspy, throaty voice he affected when donning the mask. Well, turns out that the Dark Knight's voice was digitally enhanced by the director in post-production specifically to sound more eerie. So, don't blame Bale... but do you really want blame Christopher Nolan, who has taken the ailing, cartoonish series under his wing and made it something infinitely better and darker?
PS -- Nolan, if you don't cast Reese Witherspoon as Harley Quinn in the next installment, I won't come to your defense anymore.
