A comment on "The Dark Knight"

Ok, so I know that everybody's absolutely raving about this movie and I'm in agreeance on most points: I yearned for more screen time with Heath Ledger, because he was amazing; the story is interesting; the movie looks great. However, there is one major thing that almost ruined the movie for me. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH BATMAN'S VOICE? Everytime he came onto screen as Batman, Christian Bale whispered in a hoarse voice as if Batman had been up all night smoking cigarettes. It was comical and I just couldn't take it seriously. I mean, was it a disguise to keep people from thinking that he was Bruce Wayne? At some points, what he whispered was completely incomprehenisible causing all seriousness to be lost.

Can anyone explain this to me?

Just Duo. My favorite musical group on the cruise, because they are the real life version of the Ana Gasteyer and Will Ferrel skit on SNL.

This version of "The Hustle" is incredible. The man played like 89 different instruments while the woman sang. Notice the people watching-- no one is hustling.

The only friends we made were fake.
