...I will now proceed to be pissed at Christian Bale for his obviously offensive portrayal of Americans in nearly all of his films.

I was offended by Bale's Batman voice too - it ruined the movie(s).

Yup. He tried to emulate Michael Keaton's "my voice is slightly different when I'm Batman" thing. Instead, he came across like he was gargling with gravel while fighting a sinus infection. Not so much in Batman Begins, but it was way over the top in The Dark Knight.
