No Director's Cut Of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES On The Way

Did you REALLY think there was going to be a Director's Cut of The Dark Knight Rises? Seriously?! Well, Christopher Nolan's reps have confirmed that the recent rumours are false and that there are no plans for an extended version of his third and final Batman movie.

There's literally no reason to think that a Director's Cut of The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released either now or before Man of Steel next June (as has been recently rumoured). There are often very few deleted scenes featured on the home releases of Christopher Nolan's films, so why anyone would believe that he'd have enough left over footage to warrant an even longer version of his final Batman film - which was nearly three hours anyway - is more than a little hard to understand. Well, The Playlist have reached out to Nolan's reps and were told that, "...no such plans exist, and reports of an extended cut of the film are incorrect." Are you disappointed by this news or was the theatrical cut more than enough for you? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!





Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ "The Dark Knight Rises" is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. The screenplay is written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on “Batman Begins” and the record-breaking blockbuster "The Dark Knight." The executive producers are Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy and Thomas Tull, with Jordan Goldberg serving as co-producer. The film is based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Batman was created by Bob Kane.

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Michael Caine as Alfred
Gary Oldman as Commissioner Jim Gordon
Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox
Tom Hardy as Bane
Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Well, no sh*t! Too bad though, I would have liked to see that Bane scene everyone was talking about.

Oh yeah, and TDKR sucked, blah, blah, blah, blah!
Is that what you're looking for Cipher?

Good. The overrated film was already to long, no need for an extra half hour of more plot holes.

Just give me a nice box set of the trilogy with loads of features, and I'll be in my glory.

I wish there was a director's cut. The finished product was so friggin bad. I saw it a second time to make sure, and it was still just as bad. I saw Arbitrage last night, and that was a much better movie (different genre, sure). Better acting, writing, pacing, everything. Le Sigh. Christopher Nolan's final film in the Batman series ended up being the worst one he has made :(

I love armchair directors/critics... I'm not a "nolanite", but if you can make a better film, get off your collective butts and DO something about it instead of crying...just my two cents...hugs, lol

the movie was great anyways, adding more stuff would've been too much already with the movie being damn near three hours long.

That shit was too funny. As far as this news goes i'm cool with no director's cut but I would've welcomed one if it were true.

Nah, that's OK. Movie was fine without the director cut.

Maybe they can release a scene or two explaining how bruce got back to gotham after escaping the prison and WHY did he fake his death? Cause seriously, noone knew he was batman, why fake his death in the first place? Just to hurt his friends?

I told you so...
Moving right along, I thought the movie was entertaining, but had WAY too many plot holes. Nolan should know better than to release a film in that kind of shape. As I said before, if you were to make a comparison between this and the Star Wars trilogy, I'd say this was Nolan's ROTJ. I left the theater feeling good about it. I even picked up a copy of the novel to see if it provided anymore insight. Nevertheless it did not. TDK was the best product hands down.

why is this still being discussed? he's said that there'd be no director's cuts since the beginning. and by beginning, i mean back when batman begins came out.

I really really disliked this movie. I was planning on seeing it twice, but decided it was too long to sit through again. And that god-awful prison mid-section. BUT I would go to see an extended cut of this. I know that's kind of a contradiction, but I think there's a good movie in there somewhere. They should have had Bane's origin in there. To do the same basic "mystery" as they did with the Joker was a mistake. This time... show us.

First time post, so be gentle...

Liked the movie, didn't love it. Nolan made his own Batman, so he was true to his creation, however, for fans of the Batman in the comics, like me, I didn't like what he did with the character. So making a director's cut would've just added insult to injury.

BTW, have you guys seen the "How it should have ended" on TDKR? Hilarious!

@RedLanternsFan

Not at all, being a Marvel guy since childhood I grew up loving one DC character and that was Batman. I had no problem with the Nolan films, you have to look at it for what it was and that was an interpretation of the character.

the only reason this rumor is being reported is because then the page gets to have ads on it. making $$$. make a B.S./ Rumor page, this doesnt belong on the front page.

Movie was great IMO. I just had those doubts I posted above.

@scoobyjas - welcome and agreed!

Damn. The movie felt like there were scenes removed. I really wanted to see the uncut version.

I'm not too disappointed, as it has been pointed out, the movie had what it needed. But i'm with you guys, i would just like to see a couple of deleted scenes
