"I don’t believe I was close to landing that role. The only actor who was right for that part at that time, in my estimation, was Christian Bale, and he absolutely smashed it. So, for me, it was just an experience, and then it turned into something else. It turned into that character, Scarecrow, and it turned into a working relationship with Chris. So, I think back very, very fondly on that time, but I never, ever, ever considered myself Bruce Wayne material." - Cillian Murphy

May have gone overboard though... There's a reason people call his voice the "throat cancer" voice 😅 Pattinson exudes more of a Batman ora than Bale IMHO. His Batman is just calm and rarely speaks, and it's that calmness and ambiguity that can make him seem more terrifying in the eyes of his opponents. Secretly, but not so secretly, he's just some messed up guy. 😅 But hey, different filmmakers with different vision, each Batman worked well in their respective films.

Also, the original Bale Batman voice is supposed to be just what we heard here, but Nolan didn't think it was quite menacing enough. So, he decided to alter it a bit in post.

Look up a recent interview with Michael Keaton and he explicitly says that he WISHED he had an opportunity to play the kind of Batman role that Christopher Nolan devised for Christian Bale. His reticence to continue the role of Batman after Tim Burton's second film was precisely because it turned campy and silly in order for the studio to stake deals with toy companies to sell merchandise, but it all backfired because the movies were so terrible they practically killed the superhero genre for an entire generation.

Because he gave that screen test 100% and they liked what he did, he was offered the role of Scarecrow, becoming not only one of the few supporting actors to return for all three Batman movies, but also coming second only to Michael Caine for the most appearances in individual Nolan films (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, and Dunkirk).

Begins was always my favourite of the trilogy, I thought the way they explained how he became batman, made it seem so believable and hearing Nolan liken batman to the alien was a stroke of genius, and comes across strongly in the movie, particularly when batman is interrogating Crane after hes given him the fear toxin and we get to see his fear of what the batman is, personified as a demonic entity, its brilliant.

What I like most about this trilogy is the fact that it's so relatable!

Very different to any other Marvel/DC movie!

I think the difference here is that most of the actors never truly 'changed' their voice, they just lowered it a bit and used a different tone. Keaton still sounded like Keaton, Kilmer still sounded like Kilmer, and Clooney wasn't even trying. Even Kevin Conroy's voice is too unique to have a dramatic distinction between Bruce/Batman. It was just accepted as a 'Cark Kent with glasses' situation and suspend a little disbelief. What Christian did was completely change his voice to where it is unrecognizable from his own, and much more aggressive. Most actors can't do this simply from not having the vocal flexibility.
