Like Berardinelli, USA Today's Mike Clark thought Bale performed the role of Batman as well as he did Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, but that the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Rachel Dawes was "frustratingly underdeveloped".
Kao i Bernardinelli, Mike Clark iz USA Today je smatrao kako je Bale odigrao Batmana jednako dobro kao i Patricka Batemana u Američkom psihu, ali veza između Brucea Waynea i Rachel Dawes je bila "frustrirajuće nerazvijena".
