Presto-digitation Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 QUOTE (Oracle @ Jul 23 2012, 07:42 PM) Christian Bale is American, though. He does a great American accent, doesn't he? He plays Amercians so often you'd think so. Same with Oldman. I'll see an interview with one of them and the English accent takes me off guard for a minute.

Not many American stars in this trilogy... Name some yanks that could've done a better job of pulling off: Bats/Wayne, Alfred, Ra's Al Ghul, Scarecrow, or Joker. There must be some but I can't really think of any at the moment. Oh, any mention of Brad Pitt or Keanu Reaves will get an immediate 10 kicks to the genitals.

Presto-digitation Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 We're not as uptight about such things as the Brits would be if it was nearly an all-American cast and crew making a film about a British icon, I can almost surely say that.
