Just got in from seeing a theatrical release of the film. Immediately while watching it I had my fan editor eyes on and walked away with some thoughts since I had some idea of what people were upset about with the final cut.
The Batman/Batgirl sexual relationship was super forced and Batgirl came off very annoying in my opinion. In fact, the whole prologue was just brutal because it felt like it was a Batgirl movie and not a Batman/Joker movie. Now, the prologue could've been better and I think in that 20-30 mins lies a good 12-15 minute short or a better reworked opening. So, I am proposing two cuts/versions of this film upon the release.
First cut: By The Book Cut
Cut the prologue, cut the additional Barbara scenes including her Oracle scene at the end and even cut the additional fight scene before the Batman/Joker face off when Bats arrives at the carnival.
Second cut: One Bad Day Cut
This cut will keep the idea of the movie with expanding Barbara/Batgirls role, but trim it down to the bare bones in that the prologue will stay, but will be cut to portray Batgirls last case and how she encountered her one bad day that causes her to quit. No sex with Batman, no whining and just overall less annoying. Her epilogue as Oracle will also remain intacted. The additional carnival fight will of course remain. This is just to clean up the movie while maintaining the additional embellishments and eliminating the more cringeworthy scenarios.
Just waiting on my disc to arrive in the mail!
