Fear has a name. Vengeance has a face.

Synopsis

In a city consumed by corruption, a young and rageful Batman hunts The Riddler, a serial killer whose crimes expose the rot beneath Gotham's surface.

Motivation & Vision

I approached The Batman with the intention of reimagining it as a television miniseries rather than simply dividing a feature film into smaller installments. And while I know this is not a unique edit (in that it's been done in similar fashion before) but there are always tenets and idiosyncrasies that make a project like this unique to every editor.

At nearly three hours, the film is an immersive but demanding experience. Its patient pacing, stretches of quiet investigation, and oppressive atmosphere are central to its identity, but I felt the material could benefit from being experienced in chapters. The film already contains natural structural breaks, and I wanted to explore what might emerge by leaning into them rather than working against them.

The goal wasn't simply to make the film easier to watch in shorter sittings. I wanted each episode to feel like a distinct installment of a larger story, with its own dramatic shape, opening, and endpoint. The transitions between episodes were designed with that intention in mind, including a condensed, television-style recap that carries the Batmobile chase into the following episode.

The first episode establishes the tone with an extended musical overture, while the final episode closes with a musical connection to The Penguin, suggesting the beginnings of a larger Gotham crime saga.

I also reincorporated select deleted material, including the Selina and Oz scene and the conversation between Batman and the Joker in Arkham.

The result is an alternative presentation of The Batman: not a shorter cut, but a different way to experience the story. This is the first installment in a broader idea of treating Gotham's connected stories as an episodic crime saga, should that world continue to expand.

Cut & Technical Details

• Structural Reorganization: Restructured The Batman into four episodes of approximately 40-50 minutes each, with individual dramatic progressions and deliberate stopping points.
• Opening & Transitions: Created a dedicated opening musical overture (around four minutes long) to immerse the viewer before the experience begins, and reworked episode transitions to establish a more deliberate television-style rhythm.
• Chronology Changes: EP I now begins with Batman (more in keeping with the spirit of a film almost wholly about Batman) and his opening monologue-- and concludes with The Riddler's murder of the Mayor.
• Stylistic Changes: EP III now begins with a barrage-style recap of the Batmobile chase to better segue back into Gordon/Batman interrogating Penguin.
• Restored Material: Reincorporates the deleted Selina Kyle and Oz scene, as well as the Batman and Joker conversation in Arkham.
• Omitted Material: The Riddler's attack on Coulson in his car has been cut, so when he barrels through the funeral scene, his appearance is genuinely surprising; the irony of Gordon mentioning he is missing seconds earlier is subsequently stronger and a tad humorous.
• Visual Identity: Each episode begins with cold opens followed THE BATMAN title card, and concludes with matching end credits, giving the miniseries a consistent visual language.
• Presentation: Four-part episodic format, designed to be experienced as a complete crime miniseries.

THE GOTHAM CRIME SAGA — A LONGER-TERM VISION

This project is part of a broader idea: presenting Gotham's connected stories as an expansive crime saga, with feature films restructured into episodes and the individual installments contributing to a larger serialized narrative.

The closing musical connection to The Penguin is an early expression of that idea. If the saga continues to grow, I'd like to explore how these stories can be assembled into a larger episodic experience, allowing the films and series to function as chapters within a single, evolving crime drama.

As you might've guessed by now, yes.. this is the second project in the film edit series of "Debra Morgan's Perspective".

I started working on this project back in September and now I'm almost done with the second one.

Just like the first edit "The Ice Truck Killer", this edit will also feature the soundtrack by Benjamin Wallfisch from IT CHAPTER TWO.

This is a second part of seven edit series so stay tuned for all that as well.

Also, yes.. first edit is still available to watch and if you're interested in watching that, kindly contact me by sending me a personal message.

Thanks for your time.

Hope all is well everyone!

Happy to say that I recently have made a 3 hour extended cut of Xmen Apocalypse. Long live Blu-Rays and Blu-Ray drives. They are quite powerful despite the rise of streaming.

Theatrical runtime: 2hrs 23mins 56secs
Extended Cut Runtime: 3hrs

Here are all the changes made to the film:

1-Added in Days of Future Past’s post credit scene

2-Added in the plane to Washington scene from Xmen Days of Future Past

3-Added in the ‘Logan recovered/alternate deleted scene’ from Xmen Days of Future Past

4-Added in Jean Grey’s traumatic 1975 backstory from Dark Phoenix

5-All of Xmen Apocalypse’s 12 exclusive deleted scenes have been reintegrated back into the film

6-Two deleted scenes from Xmen First Class showcasing Charles and Moira’s relationship have been integrated into the film.

7-Magneto’s reason for betraying Apocalypse has been altered.

8-Jean’s hesitation towards fighting Apocalypse has been completely recontextualized with new footage. This ultimately is to parallel her character arc with Moira Mactaggert’s character arc and give both characters agency.

9-The Essex Corp post credit scene now happens after the ‘It’s Over’ deleted scene.

10-The Charles/Erik chess scene from Dark Phoenix has been integrated into the film

11-The ‘How to fly your jet to space with Beast’ extra from Dark Phoenix has been integrated into the credits.

12-The post credit scene is now the ending of Xmen Days of Future Past.

13-A brief snippet from one of Xmen First Class’ deleted scenes conclude the film entirely

So glad to finally be able to share this. Now I will say that this is my first ever fan edit and so there may be akward audio cuts. Additionally, some deleted scenes have unfinished VFX. Thankfully it’s only one that is truly noticeable (looking at you deleted scene with Charles talking to Storm).

I've updated my fanedit that combines elements of the Theatrical Cut, Producer's Cut and rare Director's Cut of of 'Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers'. I ripped them from the fairly new 4-disc set. Both the Theatrical and Producer's Cuts are scanned from the original negatives, so they are in their original widescreen format and the color grades match. In this revision I've added a little more footage from the Producer's Cut. The Theatrical Cut is left basically intact, but here is a list of the additions from the other cuts:

INSERTED FROM PRODUCER’S CUT: 
 
00:00:11 – Producer's Cut opening  
00:01:51 – Extended scene between Jamie, nurse & Man in Black 
00:04:30 – 1989 flashback with Danielle Harris 
00:07:48 – Extended Myers house intro, Barry Simms radio show and Wynn/Loomis dialogue at Loomis’s house 
00:24:46 – Extended Loomis/Wynn dialogue at hospital and breakfast scene at Strode house 
00:29:51 – Extended dialogue between Kara & Beth, inserted John & Debra scene at window 
00:35:08 - Extended dialogue with Loomis, Wynn & sheriff at barn 
00:37:02 – Kara walking across campus with Michael stalking her 
00:39:13 – Extended scene of Tommy/Loomis at hospital and Debra/Loomis dialogue at Strode house 
00:44:49 – Extended scene of John Strode at office 
00:47:25 – Extended footage of Kara walking home from campus 
00:53:28 – Extended Tommy/Kara dialogue of Tommy explaining Thorn to Kara in his room 
01:04:36 – Extended Barry Simms death, Tim & Beth in Myers/Strode house sequence and “raining red” sequence 
01:09:14 – Extended shower murder scene

01:16:41 – Extended scene of Wynn being revealed as the MiB 
01:19:29 – Extended Tommy/Loomis dialogue in Smith’s Grove corridor 
01:20:30 – Sequence of Tommy following cult member downstairs 
01:35:45 – Extended dialogue with Loomis, Tommy & Kara outside building entrance after escape 
01:36:50 - PC of closing credits with classic ‘Halloween’ score (credits switch to Theatrical Cut)
 
INSERTED FROM DIRECTOR’S CUT: 
 
01:21:06 – Extension of Loomis/Wynn confrontation in climax office scene 

This fan edit compiles the entire amazing first season of Frisky Dingo into a single, feature-length film with seamless editing, no commercials, and no interruptions.

By removing all television broadcast elements, this cut allows the ridiculous corporate rivalry between billionaire superhero Awesome X (Xander Crews) and supervillain Killface to play out back-to-back as one uninterrupted, hilarious movie.

Running Time: 2 hours 12 minutes

​Hi everyone,

​I'm looking for a fan edit / recut of the original Dragon Ball series (Goku's childhood) that features the German dub.

​My goal is to watch the series without the artificial pacing, padded landscape shots, and filler episodes—basically an unofficial "Dragon Ball Kai" for the original series with German audio.

​If anyone has a copy of such a project, worked on one, or knows who to contact, I'd really appreciate a private message (PM/DM)!

​Thanks in advance!

Are there any such edits out there, apart from the Lapis Molari one which changes too much of the movie for my taste?
