Great article. I can¡¯t wait to hear more about your research tool. If it is as good as your other products, then you will have another winner. Your article pretty much summed up what I have been seeing too. Great to see some hard data.
Some of these complaints about Bale’s Batman voice are ridiculous. Yeah, it’s exaggerated a little bit at times, but that’s not totally Bale’s fault. His voice, especially in The Dark Knight, was altered to sound deeper in post-production by Nolan and the sound mixers he was working with. If anything, the voice fits the tone and universe that Nolan’s Batman takes place in, just like how Michael Keaton’s voice dropped a bit and worked for Tim Burton’s Batman environment. Could anyone honestly imagine Christian Bale talking in his Batsuit like he does when he’s Bruce Wayne? It would look even more ridiculous.
