I'm just glad Joel Schumacher isn't involved with the series anymore. If he did another one, I was fully expecting Batman to be cavorting in the Castro District with Robin wearing a strap on.

Would it have killed them to keep continuity with Burton's films (i.e. leaving
as the killer of Bruce Wayne's parents)? Nonetheless, still looks fabulous...

So that I don't have to take an "either/or" approach to the BATMAN films...again, it's no deal breaker, but it would have been appreciated (as a fan of the films, not the comic book)...

The chick is just not a good actor. She's average at best. Anyone know who was up for her role, because I have to believe that several real actors must have turned this down before it was offered to her.

hmm.better check up on that. Holmes to old for Christain ??.I can see the love interest thing in the new batman begins. cuz,Holmes in real life is dating Tom cruise and he 42 and shes 26. so go figure.
how old is too old for you? theres a 16 year old diff. between Cruise and Holmes. so bale to old for her in BB ,think again!!!!

Spoiler:
If the villains escape or end up in Arkham Asylum at the end of this one, we'll know that we've arrived.
Oh yeah. About his voice changing when he cowls up: Kevin Conroy's been doing that for years.

Seems Ebert finally approves of a Batman flick.
Only took 5 to do it.
(Yeah yeah, no real point to it, but I'm bored and posting.)

Yeah, he does it but in the recent batman stuff he's voiced it's more subtle. In the 1st series it was more of a drastic change when Bruce wasn't Bats.

As an earlier poster guessed, Bale has indeed (see the new interview in STARLOG) come out and said the reason he went for a different voice is because when he put on the bat-suit he felt like an animal...and felt the voice should reflect that. He also wanted to emphasise that Bruce becomes totally different once the suit is on.

According to this:

it won't be up until the day the film premieres.

Not a fan of Bale's Bat Voice, but it's just one of two minor flaws in this major film. I'm sure it will grow on me.
