I think its a bit rich of Nolan to refuse a commentary or deleted scenes especially when the DVD version of TDK HAS had scenes cut from it that appeared in the cinematic version.

Just one that springs to mind… in the scene where the Joker plays chicken with Batman, causing him to crash the Batpod and knocking himself unconscious, the Joker takes a knife from his pocket and throws it from one hand to the other in the cinematic version. In the DVD, you only see him take it from his pocket. Minor scene to be deleted, but all the same, it makes Nolan self-indulgent in making his claim, in my book.

Cannot fault the film tho. I thought the film should have been nominated for an oscar, as well as HL’s performance.

Nah. I disagree. I watched the commentary for Tropic Thunder, and it was fucking histerical, best audrio com’ i’ve listened to on a DVD other then Clerks X. As for the Dark Knight not having any dlt’d scenes, that kind of irks me in a way, because I know there has to be some stuff from Heath’s performance that might have been cut.

There’s a scene from trailer #2 involving the tumbler that I can’t find in the movie. It struck me as odd and wondered why it got cut. I was under the assumption that Nolan used all most everything for this film.

Why do we buy a DVD? to watch the movie?
if that’s the only case, then we should have just stuck to VHS.
but since we have evolved in our entertainment values, i would agree that not having deleted scenes on a dvd is PRETTY lame. the fans have seen the movie, they are already fans of the movie. NOW we would simply like to see more. I won’t go into the del. scns. but as for commentary i hardly ever listen for sake, i’d rather just sit down with the director himself and give him a “Wassup?” the extras are the things that the Director WANTS the audience to see, as if they weren’t given enough in the theatre so they will get more on the dvd. Making of’s rock because how many times have you said “How did they do that?” well just like in “The Matrix” the extra features fuggin’ took you SOOOO in depth it was as if you were in the rabbit hole yourself. and that is what rocks about the extra features, deleted scenes, commentaries, making of’s, so and and so fourth, i think if anything that NOBODY ever cares about in DVD extras is the stupid trailer, it’s not the movie, it’s nothing we haven’t already seen 18,000 times before the movie came out…so why do dvd’s INSIST on having them, one thing i’ve kinda liked is the Cast and Crew Filmographies. And whatever happened to Easter Eggs on the DVD’s it’s like they don’t do it anymore. but as for The Dark Knight itself, I think that EVERYONE loved Heath’s job as the Joker so much that if Nolan doesn’t put ANY and EVERY shot of film, whether for the film, or just in between scenes, of heath then fans will be EXTREMELY disappointed that the man who pulled off a 9th Symphony before he died isn’t really in the dvd for interviews or anything. thus we chould all get along with this deleted scenes crap and get on with the fact that we just need more ledger. i wanna hear HIM talk about playing the joker.

WHAT!!??!!??!!!?? There has to be deleted scenes!!!!! Every scene in the “trailer” with the Joker was diffrent in the accual movie. compare the trailer to the scenes online now. You will see a lot of diffrence!!

An example: The mob meeting scene. in the trailer he was serious and firm. “It’s simple, We kill the batman.” But in the accual movie he was seemed as if he was think of what to say on the spot, less serious, “Uhh, It’s simple. We um kill the batman.” He rolls his eyes and flips his hair.

Ok the joker scene really kicked butt in the movie, but i wanna see the scene where he was more serious. Would be nice to see the diffrent attitudes the joker had!!!!

Bullsh*t .. There are always deleted scenes. Chris Nolan just doesn’t want them seen which is respectable but still bull !!!

I was an extra in a scene involving Heath right after the joker van flipped. It took the better part of the night to shoot it and it was cut from the theatrical version. Of course I am pissed my scene was cut but to leave Heath’s work in the can never to see the light of day is a crime worthy of the joker. The deleted scenes are not rubbish. They were deleted so audiences didn’t have to sit through a 4 hour film. I am not buying a DVD without deleted/extended scenes.

I think it is so stupid that there are no deleted scenes, & I’m
really infuriated about this, because, I really want to know if Harvey dies at the very end of the movie
