I am actually a bit disappointed by this... I agree with OSC that the movie I thought I saw was better than the script... but oh well...

Yeah, I liked mine better too, but I decided people had a good argument that Batman was trying to save Rachel.
However, I've decided the real issue was the decision to have Bale growl when wearing the suit. If he talked normally the rest of us would have understood what he said as he was leaving the station. Even without that, though, the "I can't breathe through my nose" guttural muttering was the worst flaw in the film. Other characters should have been cracking up when he was talking like that.

It was put to rest for me when I saw it in the theatre, because the only theatre showing it at the time we could watch that night had subtitles for the hearing impaired. It was distracting, because we ended up reading everything even though we could hear just fine. So I knew exactly what was said even when the voices were overpowered by the music as is often the case in movies.

I think I heard every line in the movie. And everyone concludes batman was making the "cliche" choice when he just as likely could have based his choice on the distance and terrain from the station and the two locations. It'd be pretty convenient for the mob to have control of two structures precisely the same distance relative to the station, and they could've held Joker somewhere else for all anyone knew.

While the growling is extremely odd, if you go back and watch George Clooneys portrail of the caped crusader, you'll find that he did not have a single bit of Batman in his character just alot of Bruce Wayne. In my opinion, Bale has been the first actor to play both sides of the role fairly and accuratly, whereas Kilmer was a good Batman (but a very moody, quiet and removed Bruce Wayne) and everyone else was just billionaire playboys in rubber suits... with nipples..... ew.
