RDJ was, to a certain extent, playing himself. Not much acting flexibility required in that. While RDJ's performance was more amusing than Bale's, Bale had to moreso flex his acting talent. Bale had to sell a sharp contrast between Bruce Wayne and Batman. Bale plays Bruce Wayne with a hidden darkness, which is expressed as batman.Just an argument ppl make for Bale. I agree with the consensus, RDJ was a better Iron Man than Baleman.
Bale is an extremely experienced method actor, and this survey appears to not reflect that, but Batman is not his best role, through no real fault of his own. The voice was ridiculous, and it stole the from his performance, plus the enemies were more interesting.

I've never once read that, or heard anything but praise about Bale's performance from general movie lovers. Only comic book fans complain about him Imo.
