dark knight - GO WATCH IT NOW !
Ginsu Victim:
I think he was just too out of it to know what all he had already taken.

To get back on Topic:
Regarding the deep, gravelly "Batman Voice." I've noticed a lot of people (not necessarily on this forum) complaining about it. Did anyone stop to realize that maybe that wasn't Christian Bale's choice? Isn't it conceivable that someone else (i.e. the director, the sound designers, the producers...) decided that Batman needed a "darker sound" than Bruce Wayne?
All I'm saying is that digital editing is not limited to CGI visuals... and actors have absolutely ZERO control of the final product in film...
... I might also add that Heath Ledger's performance (which I loved, but don't get over-hyped about) is also subject to this point. In film, what the audience sees is the result of many, many factors - number one being the Editor! Almost all of cinemas greatest successes and titanic failures can be tied back directly to their editors.

The voice thing was also a mask. It irked me too listening to it.
What kept leaping into my mind when I saw Bruce Wayne in that evening suit was American Psycho.
So is Batman a real American Psycho, and is that what we are ment to believe towards the end of the movie? I know the comic books showed him as being unhinged. Keaton played nutjobs and you could look at him and think he was capable. The way I look at Bale indeed is in keeping with that type of character.

May you be tied up in a dirty basement and subjected to endless hours of Cannibal Corpse! (Hahhahahah.) In any case, I think he did it, and it sounded fine.
ark_ader: that whole suicide tangent you spun is totally irrelevant to the thread and just a ridiculous topic.
As for Ledger, I think it was pretty simple: combination of chronic exhaustion, stress, and (even just one of those) medications and his heart just stopped. That he was taking all that stuff can be explained by the lack of sense many can have when they have a chronic problem that isn't easily sorted out. Actually, I was surprised no one mentioned the possibility of him cracking from being The Joker. I remember Charlize Theron in an interview relating how bad it was after playing her character in Monster.

This was suggested right after his death, actually. A lot was said during that time about possible causes.
