Well, Bale isn't TOTALLY responsible for that voice, they did work on it in post-production to make it even MORE growly and dark. -_-; But poor guy, they didn't give him much to do in this one. I mean, in the first one, they were talking about how Batman movies always seemed to be about the villains, not Batman, and they were redressing the balance. And Bale really carried that film. But with this one, it seems like they completely forgot that objective and almost forgot about Batman. Of course, the problem is that a lot of critical and audience focus is on the Joker due to Heath Ledger's death, which pushes him even FURTHER into the background...

I need to see this film again.

And finally, somebody else who loves Wall-E! Hardly any of the people I know at work who've seen it (apart from my other two film buff friends) like it. HOW can they miss the quality of this film? *sigh*
