I lost my voice recently (courtesy of the flu), and when it started to come back it was all Bale-as-Batman gravelly. I confess to asking my friends and family (and the odd random stranger) "DO I LOOK LIKE A COP?"
I loved the Dark Knight. Clear that Nolan puts a heap more thought and effort into script, character and story than Bay ever does in the TF franchise. In fact I would say that it's quite clear that most of us here put more thought into Bay's TF films than Bay has.
