"Well, first... nope didn't do the Batman edit. Second, the whole "fan edit" thing is something I wasn't very comfortable with. In the beginning, the reason it seemed to get such mileage was in fact to do with art side of editing and not the EDIT OUT WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE or DO LIKE. See that part kind of lacks a discipline and is more about the ACT of doing it versus the ART. Like a coach can be a fan of baseball but SHOULD not make descisions based on being a fan of the TEAM/PLAYERS or his judgement will be impaired, the FAN EDIT term is basically kind of meaning that at least globally I feel... so how kind it is you refer to me as the author of "fan editing" to me it always highlights the "act of" instead of the "affect of" the edits. Make sense?
Look, SanDiego comicon would be a great place to get the batman edit. Honestly, I'll ask some folks if it can be gotten and point you in the right direction. It sounds like a really impressive and thoughtfilled endeavor. Curiously though, take a second and reflect on the Joel Shusucker versions and take a pencil and mark down everytime you are watching it, that your are taken out of the movie. A false moment that feels forced or fake... a joke that shouldn't be there... and I'll point out that they began editing batman forever on a AVID editing system where they viewed each cut on a small computer screen which allows your brain MORE time to register what's going on. With that in mind, the editors tended to cut each scene to take place faster and when the edits appeared on a big screen, the intent sometimes became unregistered to the audience. It took me out of the movie a lot when I saw it and on my virtual notepad I made note of it. On a small DVD screen it won't be as much of an issue of course... but make you notes... thoughts.... and when you see the DARK KNIGHT edition see the AFFECTS of the these edits vs the original and FEEL the affects instead of merely looking for what is different. Hopefully you will find it satisfying and educational.
Again, if I find one I'll point you in the right direction...

So...it sounds like he might actually look into it a little bit, so this (for those who "believe") might be a big step.
...Also, anybody going to San Diego?
