I pretty much agree with all of that. Granted, I did have some trouble understanding Bane, but when I didn't, I loved his voice, and I agree that it's rather soothing. The distortion made it even moreso.

The Robin thing is groan-inducing. I'm a bit of the opposite mind, though, in that I don't think he needed to be named Robin because he never was "Robin." Like you said, none of the Robins were NAMED Robin. That would be as if we had a character named Batman Wayne who decided to become a masked hero named Batman. =P

And, like I've said before, he seemed much more set-up to become a new Batman, so calling him Robin just seemed not only way over the top but inaccurate and misleading. THAT would be like if the Joker card at the end of Begins were to set up Mr. Freeze in The Dark Knight. I mean, I get it that he serves in a protege-like role for most of the movie, but even that's not in a direct way, since they barely have any screentime together, and their plots are rather separate. I just felt it needed more subtlety, and that what was there was already enough. His name was John Blake, which to me seems very similar to Tim Drake, and like Tim Drake, he deduced Batman's identity on his own (although Tim was actually given a legitimate reason, while John just... did, somehow).
