I had little memory of the specifics of the movie, but my friend was quoting all the missing lines and scene; I had to insist he stop after a while. Overall it was a much improved film, though all the cut material makes several plot points quite confusing. Of course, the whole movie was pretty confusing in the first place, but in a worse way, so I guess it's for the better. The Alfred scenes, best aspect of the original version, are sorely missed, but I understand your stance with editing them; can you say contrived? Some things, although I don't remember how exactly they played out, would have been best left in the film; Batman and Robin's animosity over Ivy, and Bane. While there was no way to edit him out (and I get why you included him as little as possible), you could have used him a bit more. The whole thing with the Robin signal, for instance, makes no sense. What would've been the harm in incorporating all that together to explain it? Batgirl is a bit sudden as well; no explanation, she's just shows up and its on with the acition. To bad SHE couldn't have been edited out completely.
There are just so many good edits made, and other than the stuff I mentioned above, I agree with everything. The credit sequence was a good idea, and well executed. Here's a crazy idea though. Many cuts between scenes are awkward and sudden, which is to be expected, but I think what would really serve this edit well are some 60s-style scene transitions. I know you were going for the serious tone, but what do you think of this idea?
