Here is the updated version of this edit:
Original film name: American Psycho, Batman Begins, The Machinist, The Dark Knight
New film name: Bateman Begins: An American Psycho
Original runtime: American Psycho 101 mins; Batman Begins 140 mins; The Machinist 101 mins; The Dark Knight 152 mins.
New runtime: 121mins
Amount of time Cut/Added: 373 mins
Cuts removed/added/extended:
Here are the major ones:
-Removed Willem Dafoe from American Psycho
-Re-ordered/recut some scenes from American Psycho to make the body count higher
-Removed Batman from Batman Begins
-Removed Bruce returning home from school from Batman Begins
-Removed Joe Chill subplot from Batman Begins
-Rachael and her relationship with Bruce is (almost) completely removed
-Removed all but 2 short scenes from The Dark Knight
-Removed everything from the Machinist that dealt with Trevor's job, co-workers, the accident and Ivan
-Added some clips from Christian Bale's rant on the set of the new Terminator to illustrate Bruce/Patrick's inner dialogue with himself to show his growing insanity.
Your intention for this fanedit:
To create a more comprehensive story of the creation, rise and fall Patrick Bateman by Bruce Wayne. While on a seven-year long self-imposed exile from his wealth and riches, billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne meets a mysterious figure named Henri Ducard. Ducard trains Bruce in the ways of the ninja and offers him a place in the League of Shadows - a covert organization of vigilantes and assassins. Bruce rejects his offer and returns to Gotham City, now overrun with corruption and greed. He vows to take on an alternate persona to clean up the streets of Gotham. But what he becomes is much worse than even he could have imagined. Much, much worse...
Additional Comment/Caveat:
I think I've tied up any loose ends or plot holes. Some aspects may require a leap of faith. If you have any questions, just remember that Bruce is crazy. Bat-shit crazy, so to speak. His actions aren't always rational. He jumps between his different personalities as a result (or maybe as a cause) of his psychosis.
There are a few hard audio cuts in the American Psycho footage. These are in the original and I didn't see anything wrong with having them in there.
Thanks again to Infodroid for the inspiration.
Time needed for the edition: about a month
First draft of this edit is below:
Original film name: American Psycho, Batman Begins, Equilibrium, The Machinist, Bruce Wayne: Depths of Darkness
New film name: American Psycho: The Complete Saga (It was going to be "Bateman Begins" but it's more than just the beginning. And that's just too "cute")
Original runtime: No idea
New runtime: 2h 5mins
Amount of time Cut/Added: No idea
Cuts removed/added/extended:
Here are the major ones:
-Removed Willem Dafoe from American Psycho
-Re-ordered/recut some scenes from American Psycho to make the body count higher
-Removed Batman from Batman Begins (at one point a character mispronounces "Bateman" as "Batman")
-Removed pretty much all but the fight scenes from Equilibrium
-Removed almost all of the Machinist
-Removed/re-ordered bits and pieces from Bruce Wayne: Depths of Darkness
Your intention for this fanedit:
To create a more comprehensive story of the rise and fall Patrick Bateman. Bruce Wayne, frustrated by his inability to avenge his patents' death, travels the world and meets Ducard who trains him and urges him to join the League of Shadows. Instead, he creates an alternate persona for himself to rid Gotham of yuppies, hookers and pretty much anyone he feels like. Madness takes over and he begins to lose touch with reality. Only his trusted butler, Alfred, knows his secret.
Additional Comment/Caveat:
I watched Batman: Consecution and infodroid's INCREDIBLE Bruce Wayneepths of Darkness edit inspired me to do a fanedit myself. This is the first time I've tried this and it's my first time using Womble, so understandably it's a little rough in places, but not unwatchable. You may not be completely immersed in the film and it definitely feels edited in some spots. I suppose I've fallen victim to the "do it quick and get it out there" syndrome of new faneditors that I've read about here. But to be honest, I don't have the time, energy or skill to make it any better than it is. I'd love to hear criticism, but understand that I've taken this as far as I can. Someone with more technical skill than me could do wonders with this, I think. In my opinion, it's a great idea for a fanedit and the material lends itself to a great storyline. The groundwork is there, and if someone wants to improve on this, by all means I'd love to see it.
Time needed for the edition: about 1 week
A 4.91 GB DVD was available at the pirate bay.
