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?
