Pains me to do this, but after talking with Zarius over on fanedit.org, I have decided to cut out the singular deleted scene from the abandoned editorās cut. He provided a good argument against it and felt that it wasnāt as necessary as I hoped it would be. I will be updating the changes list, and the scene where Alfred receives the news about Stickleyās death is gonna be left as-is.
On a positive note, Bobson Dugnutt has loaned me his HD upscales of the deleted scenes. I will be re-uploading the (surviving) deleted scenes and throwing in their updated versions when I have the time.
Itās cool. I hear additional footage of the courtroom flashback exists in Schumacherās original cut. I canāt remember if itās present in the Nov '94 workprint as I have heard some conflicting reports, but I know it was shot. How else would it have appeared on Bruceās TV? š
Until the aforementioned footage is released, officially or otherwise, I respect your decision to omit this scene. TGWE did a great job implementing it into his own cut with what he had to work with.
