Here’s Why Robert Pattinson’s Batman Doesn’t Disguise His Voice

thewrap.com:

“The Batman,” fans immediately began speculating as to how his take on the Caped Crusader would differ from what came before.

With such an iconic character, it’s impossible not to compare different takes on the role – especially in the immediate wake of Christian Bale’s iconic (and beloved) performance in The Dark Knight Trilogy.But one area in which Pattinson’s Batman diverged from the pack is his masked vigilante doesn’t attempt to mask his speaking voice when conversing as Batman.

This stands in direct contrast to Bale’s growl and Ben Affleck’s tech-altered voice, both of which were used to mask Bruce Wayne’s identity in previous films.As it turns out, the choice to not change Batman’s voice came about for a very good reason, as co-writer and director Matt Reeves explains on the director’s commentary to the film. “I knew I didn’t wanna do a Batman that had been done previously, that had the growl that we’d seen,” Reeves says on the Apple-exclusive commentary track. “Because I knew that in this version, if you’re gonna do a detective story, Batman is gonna have a lot of dialogue scenes.

Which, when you actually look at all the movies, Bruce may have a lot of long dialogue scenes but Batman’s dialogue scenes, he has dialogue but it’s controlled.
