When I saw this movie for the first time, I thought, even before this scene, that this IS the definition of who Batman is supposed to be. And then I saw this scene and thought "No, THIS is the definition of who Batman is, or at least in a nutshell."
you know whats weird? i wanted to see this scene because of "Batman chooses his voice" and yet im actually watching the scene on the computer instead of my psp go right next to me
Why are people even complaining about his voice?. Batman really is supposed to sound like that, he's interrogating criminals, not offering coffee to them.
His voice is perfect. those of you who are complaining about his dark voice is not a hardcorde batman fan. It's supposed to sound like that, if you look at the 90's cartoon version of batman he speaks like that too. Its in the old comics.
Flass is actually quite athletic in the comics. But then the scene here might not have worked as effectively. i hope we'll get to see Bullock in the next one.
if you're talking about branden, batman sedates him with a poisoned dart when he's taking out the swat team in the abandoned building. the whole team suffers from broken bones, could be what you're thinking about. he also punches a guy through a wall, breaking 5 ribs
flass, batman roughs him up when interrupting some drug deal that flass is supervising. much like in batman begins.
I just went through my copy of year one and couldnt find anything about a broken leg in particular.
@lemmedasker yeah i was thinking about teh guy with the broken ribs. That was Sergeant Frank Pratt actually who got killed by The Hangman in Dark Victory.
people can complain about bale's voice, but it rrrreeeeaaaally works in this scene. I remember seeing this in theaters when it came out and I was finally kinda scared by Batman!
batman's voice in dark knight was accurate. It had shrillness animal quality. An intimidating feature shown in the comics. Which forces his victims listen closely to what he's saying. So his victims are distracted by his voice. Creepy. If it was crystal clear it would've made him sound like a normal person and that wouldn't scare or distract anyone would it? An example would be if a lion can talk it would have a hard shrill voice that's intimating to hear.
It would have been funny if Flass thought Batman saw him steal the money from the guy.Then he would have said:"I didn't mean to steal the money.I'll give it back. Can I please get my falafel?
Any douche that comments on batmans voice needs smacked....Bale NAILS it...Batman is supposed to scare the shit out of you....when i saw the scene in Batman Begins when he hoists the fat crooked cop in the alleyway and starts to scream at him....it scared the shit out of me....because THAT is what the batman does...Keaton was great....but even HE didnt grasp the Dark Knights character like Bale does...
Well I'd like 6to point out to those anti bal voice people that this one and TDK had two entirely different Batman voices. I'd say he nailed it in Begins, but why he had to go over the top with it in TDK is beyond me.
@TheSteelStallion well.....as a batman collector of over 30 years....that has a full run on batman from 119 to the present issue, detective comics 200 to the present issue,and a full run of brave and the bold....i can honestly say Bale IS batman....Batmans voice is NOT over the top in either film...he is supposed to scare the shit out of you ,, even if you are a good citizen....he should scare the shit out of you...which is what bale did...
@Stlcards789 He moaned because landing like that on concrete can hurt. If he fell from where batman was then we would be dead not moaning and groaning.
I cant help it but when Batman drops him and brings him back up...I just kept thinking that guy was like Batman's yo-yo! :D The "SWEAR TO ME!!" line gets me everytime
I've Had a girl scream rape, thats when that ride ended.. lol But yeah they look at me like Im going to bite thier head off. I grabbed thier shoulders and everything lolz
I was skeptical at first about Bale being Bats, but he fucking nails it. Some poeple say this scene is stupid, but in the comics, Batman acts like this, just scarier and not funny at all. I me and my Bro in law always shake our heads fast and brutal right before saying this line lol
i agree... i mean it's probably more to do with the fact i loved batman when i was 5. And keaton was the first batman i knew. Bale is exceptional and more darker tho. Keaton only get's it by nostalgia for me but bale is prob a more deeper batman. The deepest.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Right to the cross. Bale's Batman voice is bad. Don't give me that "he's masking it" crap Conroy proves you can have a seperate Batman/Wayne voice while not sounding like you have throat cancer.
Though at time Bale over does the voice, I think it's approriate because it really gives Batman a primal fury to his mantra and thats how he should be, he should seem like a monster to his foes.
When Batman asked "Where are the other drugs?!" it reminded me of the interrogation scene between him and The Joker from "The Dark Knight," when he beat him, demanding where Dent and Rachel were.
This face is so scaring!!! But you should hear the voice from the voice from the german version! It's incredible! Best scene from the film! I love it and always gives me the heebie-jeebies!
Agreed. Do you think it is possible for someone to have the neccessary technology/equipment/gear/training to stand up like a 'Batman figure and gaurdian knight of the city' against criminals out there where the police fail (have no evidence to prosecute or too scared to venture to arrest certain dangerous criminals)?? That would put the police force to shame if a one man vigilante-out for 'JUSTICE' man could do what the police fail to do
@ryuencrash To become Batman, you need a shitload of money, insane amounts of ninja training, James Bond gadgets, super smart, and willing to sacrifice a happy life in favor of saving others.
@ryuencrash I agree, however,if you were to go by the comic mythology in order to truly emulate him one must have physically perfected himself at the edge of being super human and, have a genius level intellect. If anything I think the easiest part of being him is having the money. Mainly because I dont know any CEO's with the physical appearance of a body builder :)
Some kind of indian food. A fried ball or patty made from spiced fava beans and/or chickpeas, served in pita bread. It's quite popular as fast food in several countries.
It actually originated in the Middle East, beginning in Egypt I think. The Greeks and Indians took the idea and basically liked it so much and made some of their own. Same way with the pita bread
When I saw this movie for the first time, I thought, even before this scene, that this IS the definition of who Batman is supposed to be. And then I saw this scene and thought "No, THIS is the definition of who Batman is, or at least in a nutshell."
