I watched this movie and I found it difficult to watch because Bale's take on Batman was over the top for me. I HATED the voice he used. It was distracting to me. Because I know how Bale sounds, and Batman never sounded like that, and it was not a good character trait. I love the Batman movies, but this one is annoying. I can't bare to rewatch like I have the other movies. It's painful. I still haven't seen The Batman with Pattinson, but I pray he does a better job. Bales' take just didn't sit right with me. Every time he spoke I was like ugh, so cheesy. Like they tried too hard to make the movie different. Well. It was. Thanks to Heath Ledger. He saved the film in my opinion. He definitely took the role we love and made it so deeply emotional. I love Bale, he is an amazing actor, I blame the director. He should have said um, not a chance Bale. Sometimes less change is more. Everytime a movie is made or remade they have to make it so different from previous films. Why?! I guess I'm too nostalgic for these films being made over and over. I like continuing the movies in the same style. So if you like change, you'll love this, but if you're stuck in the old ways like myself, it'll be a disappointment.
