I disagree with this comment, and I thought on a technical basis Bale's somewhat schizophrenic performance is perfect. As Bruce Wayne he has the calm, cool exterior of someone who has never really worried about where his next meal is coming from. But with the cowl and cape on he reverts to a disturbed avenger that is a variation on the Joker's anarchy-fueled destruction. That voice is a key component, to me. He always sounds like he's ready to kill anything he can, so mad he's practically spitting at the camera.

With all the hype over Ledger, most people won't give Bale his due. But he truly owns this role now...

I don't think him changing his voice was bad, it just got so gravely at times you could barely understand what he was saying. It was good in Batman Begins but a little over the top in TDK.
