AHC: Theodore Roosevelt is... Batman!

Ooh, that actually brings up a good point. I know everybody makes fun of Christian Bale's Batman voice, but the truth is, that's actually something that the movies got right: Batman DOES change his voice when he's in the costume, both to sound scarier and so people don't recognize Bruce Wayne's voice. So the deep Batman voice would probably be necessary for the same purposes.

But TR did have a very high-pitched voice that was very easy to parody. Would he be able to speak in a voice that sounded scary while he's in his secret identity?

"THIS REPUBLIC...JUST PROVED...THAT IT'S FULL OF PEOPLE...READY TO BELIEVE IN GOOOOOOOD!!!!"

The voice of Batman changed long before Christian Bale and Chris Nolan.

I agree that TR would have to have a different, and probably lower, voice.
 
Were there 'Teddy Roosevelt' jokes during his lifetime on the same sort of scale as today's Chuck Norris ones? That would seem (more than) appropriate...
There is the quote by vice president Thomas Marshall on hearing of his death that "death had to take him in his sleep, for if he was awake there'd have been a fight."

Maybe, but what Chuck Norris plays at, Theodore Roosevelt did!
