* This is present in many of the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' films.
** In ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'', Bruce Wayne invokes the trope by affecting a deep growl while he's being Batman.
** When people are tripping on the Scarecrow's drug, they perceive others (including the Scarecrow himself, of course) as evil monsters with inhumanly deep voices. While the Joker's voice is usually high-pitched and nasally, he goes surprisingly low for his choice lines, such as, '''"Look at me!"''' Bane zigzags the trope, in that the mask over his face does lower and distort Tom Hardy's rather nasally voice, but not very much. The only character to play it constantly straight is Henri Ducard, [[spoiler:a.k.a. the real [[Characters/BatmanRasAlGhul Ra's Al-Ghul]]]], portrayed by Creator/LiamNeeson with his usual deep, husky voice.

A deep voice makes the character sound strong, mature and competent, so it is a common trait for major villains that the audience is supposed to fear and respect. Consequently, such villains will usually speak in baritone register (or in villainesses' cases a contralto register), more rarely in [[BassoProfondo bass register]]. It also provides a contrast for the more youthful TenorBoy, especially in vocal music.
