Batman Begins: Dark Cut by JMB

To be honest, I don't really remember it :-(

I'll compare the two when I have some time later. My favorite part about this edit is that it IS Batman Begins for me, now. I don't remember most of the differences, I just prefer it to the original. A nice companion piece is the edit "The Rise and Fall of Harvey Dent".

I'd love to watch this but it doesn't seem to be available.

None of the files in the .dlc file are still online and it's not on Usenet (which is where ALL fan editors should keep their projectd!!)

Any chance this will be online again soon?

Two of my all time favorite edits. Both are absolutely superb.

Thank you JMB for a wonderful edit of Batman Begins! Very improved version of Nolan's film. More true to Batman, more immersive, less cliche, less silly, and of course less annoying Katie Holmes voice.

My review is posted below:

What a treat JMB has given us! So far, this is my favourite fan edit and, in my opinion, an improvement on the original version of Batman Begins.


Cheesy lines and cliche jokes have pretty much all been removed, resulting in a consistent tone throughout the movie. Very atmospheric.


I really liked that Batman was even more of a loner in this edit (having the AI drive the batmobile at the end instead of Gordon, and tweaks to several scenes involving Rachel)


The adjustments made to the last scene with Rachel (in the rubble of Wayne manor) were especially impressive and actually resulted in an ending (in regards to their relationship) that made more sense and felt more in line with the essence of Batman (from the comics).


Rachel's voice! With JMB's adjustments to her voice, I could actually take her seriously rather than feeling like I'm listening to an annoying child.


I like that the over-the-top-ness of the bad guys (main villains like Falcone and Scarecrow, as well as henchmen) was toned down. I found them kind of silly in the theatrical cut.


And while I really liked the rooftop part of the batmobile chase scene in the theatrical cut, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the chase sequence worked without that segment (and the god-awful acting by the cops). I really liked that Rachel no longer asks "what are you doing?" and Batman says, "shortcut".


There were various adjustments made to imagery and audio throughout, but they were never out of place. The editing seemed quite professionally done. The only time an edit seemed slightly choppy was when Batman told Alfred (via radio or something) that the batmobile was his failsafe (when he was going after Ras in the train). Even then, it wasn't blaringly obvious or intrusive, and in terms of the plot and nature of Batman, it actually made more sense than having Gordon drive it.


Overall, an exceptional fan edit that I think is a lot better than the original version. I wish this is the version that I had seen in theatres. From now on, I will be watching this edit when I want my Batman fix.


Thank you very much JMB.

A warning.  Get a few more and you get a temp ban.
