From worstpreviews, Kevin Conroy has been the voice of Batman in animated shows, movies and video games for nearly two decades. And during his C2E2 panel on Friday, he was asked to comment on Christian Bale's voice in "Batman Begins' and "The Dark Knight."
The question is obviously referring to the bizarre voice that Bale has been using to portray Batman, which has been the focus of many parodies. And you would think that Conroy would have nothing but positive things to say about Bale, but he surprising sided with the fans by agreeing that the voice is terrible.
He said: "[Bale is] an excellent actor. He just got steered wrong. Obviously someone should have stopped him and said 'You sound ridiculous.' But no one did. As actors, you have to trust the people on the other side of the camera, because you can't see what's going on. You're working in such a vacuum that you can convince yourself that anything is great. So you need a third eye to tell you that you're way off base. Unfortunately no one stopped him."

No DUH. Funny to hear it from Kevin Conroy; I've always thought his Batman voice was perfect.
(And despite what he's saying, he says it in a diplomatic way.)
