Almost 20 releases into the Batman franchise, 2023's new Dark Knight movie breaks a trend that has come to define Gotham's Caped Crusader.

The newest Batman movie breaks the trend of using a "Batman voice" that has been a staple in previous DC movies.
Michael Keaton and Christian Bale had different justifications for using the voice, but it became a key part of their portrayals.
Luke Wilson, the latest actor to play Batman, chose not to change his voice drastically for the role, opting for a softer and more enthusiastic tone that suits the movie's child-friendly nature.
