I don't know if this has been discussed here yet or not, but did anyone notice that a lot of shots from the trailers were either missing or altered in the final film? I know this happens quite frequently with movies, but there were some really awesome shots that didn't make the final cut and I was just wondering if anyone else noticed. For example,
-The shot in the 1st trailer where The Joker is limping down the street with his machine gun in one hand and then he opens the switchblade in his other hand. That was one of the coolest shots in the trailer, but it didn't make the final cut which was somewhat disappointing.
-When The Joker is meeting with all the gang leaders, his delivery of "Kill the Batman" and "Here's my card" is extremely different in the film. The lines seemed to work much better as delivered in the trailer IMHO. Also, some of the chilling laughter we heard in the trailer wasn't actually in the movie and that's a shame because Heath really nailed the laugh.
-There's a shot of Batman running across the tops of police cars and also the Tumbler speeding out of the underground facility in the trailer, but those sequences never made it into the final film.
I realize this is all "nitpicky" stuff and it doesn't affect my overall enjoyment of the movie one bit(it's still a 10 out of 10 for me), but I was just curious if anyone else was as anal as me and noticed the omissions from the final cut of the film. Given that Nolan has said there won't be a director's cut or any deleted scenes, I guess we'll never see any of this material on the Blu-Ray or DVD release. :frowning:
