While arguably the greatest Superhero film made so far (and beyond the shadow of a doubt my favorite) there were a couple of things that bothered me about it.
In trying to figure out what I disliked about it, or which scenes left me feeling slightly bitter in between the pure awesome, I felt that when the Joker or Two Face were not in the scene, Christian Bale's performance was lacking. I was hoping the first time around that it was just because Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart did such an excellent job that he was overshadowed, but in watching it a second time I realized he just didn't seem to do nearly as well as he did in Batman Begins. I'm not sure how to pinpoint it exactly, but it just seemed off.
Also, one thing other thing that irritated me was the voice he used while in the Batman costume. I understand a need to use a separate voice, however, this one was too deep, overly growled, and it sounded like his nose was blocked up. This was to the point that in some parts he was nearly incoherent.
