Was Batman the worst part of "The Dark Knight"?
It’s a wonderful movie, especially considering the usual quality of superhero movies, but did anyone else feel Batman himself was the worst part of "Knight"?
I love Christian Bale in general, but I’m not especially fond of his Batman. The growling voice especially grates on me. I understand the concept of Bruce Wayne changing his voice in the Batman costume, but the voice is too deep. It goes past menacing and lands in the neighborhood of unintended camp.
And, honestly, next to the energetic, ferocious Joker (played so well by Heath Ledger) or even the noble, doomed Harvey Dent, Batman just wasn’t very engaging as a character.
If movie titles were determined by the character everyone is watching, the movie would’ve been called "The Clown of Crime."
I use the word "especially" too much. lol
I didn’t mind The Joker hogging the spotlight. Heath gave a brilliant performance and deserved it.
But, damn, Batman was just shoved into the dirt. IMO. Dent and Gordon were more interesting!
"First off, the Joker wasn’t played by Heath Legder. If you look in the end credits, it’s Micheal Cain."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
