What's With The Voice, Bale?

While Christian Bale may be, in my humblest opinion, the hottest Batman yet, I can't help but cringe everytime he appears in his somewhat oversized Bat-suit and starts talking with a creepy voice to match a grizzly bear with a very, very bad case of laryngitis AND incurable sore throat.

I know he's trying to make Batman seem as demonic (in a GOOD way) as possible, but is it really necessary to voice him that way? I mean, come on. Batman sounds like he needs several doses of cough medication - or a vocal-chords transplant, if such a thing exists. Everytime "The Dark Knight" so much as opens his mouth, I have to consciously brace myself for the terribleness that is his voice. 

In contrast, everytime Christian Bale reappears without his Bat-suit (and in a few scenes without any suit at all), I have to brace myself for the hotness that is Christian Bale.

I think Christopher Nolan should just have Christian Bale put on a speedo as the Bat-suit. That'll beat Titanic's record, all right.
