I Wanna See It!!!!
I have seen both edits.
They are only as similar as the source itself will allow it to be. As afar as reinserting footage and such.
The dark knight edition "remixes" the entire film. It's a much different film.
Don't get your hopes up on seeing the dark knight edition anytime soon.
Just so everyone knows, I'm DrakeRetro/Scissorpuppy. I am the one who first posted the news on the fan edit boards.
Before anyone say anything about " You said you would never come back to SHH" Yes I did say that, but I wanted to post on this topic to make sure everyone knows that the dark knight edition is not the same as any other
edit.
A professional editor in hollywood worked on this edit for over 2 years. It was edited on a high end editing system. I was at the "party" where it was first shown. 10 copies were given out, but I don't think this edit was ever inteneded to go beyond them. I have tried very hard to get a copy, but I haven't had any luck. That was almost 6 months ago when i saw it.
Chances are if someone claims to have this edit, they are A lying B have a different edit that they think is this one or C hustling you.
I think since most of the people involved in the edit work in Hollywood, they'd rather not release it and keep it to themselves. For fear of some sort of "blacklisting". I can say that next to the rumored pending schmacher edit, this is the best version of BF ever. And fits very much with the first two films.
If you have seen any of the superman part 2 footage on Youtube that "saloman" is doing ( I think that is his name ) you'll get an idea of the quality put into the Dark knight edit. Hopefully one day fans will be able to see this great edit.
Forever is good. I think your mistaken it for Batman and Robin.How can FOREVER ever be a good film?
Its so bad its laughable. If you stripped all the crap away you would have about 30mins footage. I mean, you couldn't possibly have an ending.
DrakeRetro is a liar, why do you think we've made him leave before?
Why?Please change your ****ing avatar, N0IR.

Anywho, I'll be starting my own Batman re-edit in a few months... And I only hope you'll like it.
My approach? To complete the Burton Batman trilogy...
its from the original Night of the Living Dead.is noir's avvy from something? (movie)
Exactly. And thats what I'll be bringing back, along with a few other things.The good stuff in Batman Forever were cut out. Remember the whole subplot about Bruce's repressed memories and the "Red Book"? There was more to it and those deleted scenes would have made the movie darker and more interesting.
We learn that the reason Bruce became Batman is because he believed that he was responsible for his parents' death. At their wake, young Bruce read the last entry in his father's journal which said, Bruce insists on seeing a movie tonight. Young Bruce was horrifed by what he read and that's why he ran out into the storm. This led to his encounter with the bat in the cave.
Becoming Batman was a form of penance for Bruce, a way to show sorrow for "killing" his dear parents. That's why he could never find closure after getting revenge on the gunman. That's why he could never let go of Batman.
But after rediscovering the journal later in the story, Bruce learns that their death was not his fault at all. He didnt read the rest of the entry when he was a boy. The last sentence says, But Martha and I have our hearts set on Zorro, so Bruce's cartoon will have to wait until next week. This revelation leads to Bruces redemption. He is finally able to reconcile his split personality, no longer tormented by his past and finally at peace with himself.

Yes i do, no where, your just saying "nah it was crap" or "no it was lame", you dont support your points at all, you refuse to see the good in the film because you don't want to. Also there was nothing campy about Val Kilmer's, Nicole Kidman's, Pat Hingle's or Chris O'donnel's acting for 90% of the movie,. Jim Carrey was just being Jim Carrey, he is like that in most movies, the things that were campy were the stupid Looney Toons sounds. TLJ just didn't have a clue, he didn't know the character until he was approached, Joel gave me no chance.I know all this, and it WAS good stuff. But its surrounded by so much crap. I just can't see how you strip all that crap out and call it a movie though. I mean the entire last 30 minutes of the movie is totall lame. So if you strip that, you don't even have an ending. Do you see where i'm going with this?
