I blame Christopher Nolan and the absolutely unhearable, incomprehensible Batman "rasp." Ridiculous. The whole "mumble" thing is either the result of the lack of proper stage training for the actors or it's like the fast-cuts trend--let's hide the crappiness of the set by doing fast-cuts to simulate movement and suspense in this scene.
Bollocks to both.
