I thought his voice was far more suited to the role than Affleck's was.

Technically yes, but you might be forgetting that I gave a reason why I put in the time and effort for writing that much:
I just got a lot of enjoyment out of examining Bruce’s character arc in TDKR. TDKR might not be perfect, it has some problems, but it's a great ending to the trilogy and a near perfect finale to the story of Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne that Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer wanted to tell. Bruce has such an emotionally resonant character arc throughout the film as well as finally letting go of his obsessions and making peace with his parents death, giving Alfred the fantasy that he always wanted Bruce to have. Bale does an great job at conveying how the events in the previous movie have scarred Bruce Wayne and the other characters in TDKR, and it's a great end to the hero's journey that nicely compliments Batman Begins.
Reading TDKR novel in conjunction with rewatching the movie made me want to write this essay because I found that there was a lot to unpack, which is fun. Was it necessary to write all that? Maybe not, given that people have more or less already gotten the message that TDKR was trying to tell since it was released back in 2012, but quarantine is so boring and this is one way of killing off boredom.
Thanks. Keaton was a great Batman, but Bale was the best imo, I find him to be better than Keaton because he plays a more layered character than Keaton does, but Keaton is a close second.
As for the choreagraphy in Batman Begins, the reason why there's so much choppy editing and shaky cam is because Nolan wanted to convey that Baleman was "blindingly quick" from the perspective of the criminals, he's not fast that criminals can barely perceive him i.e. a blur. In TDK and TDKR, Baleman no longer appears to have that level of speed and ferocity, which can be chalked down to the constant wear and tear he subjected his body to from being Batman. With that in mind, peak Baleman would've slaughtered Bane to mincemeat.
Thanks. I didn't even realize that there were Nolanverse Bane fans here anyway.
BB is the best as a Batman movie tbh, it has the most overt comic book tone out of the entire trilogy, Bale's character is more like Batman than it is in TDK and TDKR and his Batman voice is a lot more natural than it is in the sequels. Not to mention, Batman is actually the central character in BB, the villains steal the show in TDK and TDKR.
I liked The Dark Knight the best of the Bale Batman movies. BB was quite good as well though.
