Batman: The Man Who Laughs

I really enjoyed this! Thank you for putting in the hard work. I have been struggling over the recent years to re-watch TDK but I couldn't get more than 30 minutes in before firstly being turned off then turning it off. What you did here drastically brought this film back to life, and gave it pace and energy, and stuck to the intensity and focus of the storyline that this film desperately needed. Nolan isn't always praised for his edits, as we've seen in the latter years, but there's a good core here and without some of the comic lines and unnecessary rest periods this is quite a fun film to watch. Well done!

I do agree with some of the other comments on here and I am going to attempt those edits myself. I think by removing the copy-cat Batman's in the first Batman intro scene (what is even the point of that scene?) it will make for a nice surprise and actually a well-thought out plan by the Joker when its hung body slams against the window. I'd also like to add back some of the nuances that were cut away, such as the slow-mo of Dent's burning, or the "But I did tell you so," line that I thought was forcefully cut. Some things can breathe, and I'd say 95% of what you cut is spot on. Lastly, I'm not quite in full agreement about the ending. I found myself getting nervous as I watched it, which to me is a sign that I'm about to not be fully satisfied. I'd like to play around with this and even keep the score the same as the original. I didn't mind the score changes in the other scenes and I thought they worked quite nicely, but this one felt a little off. I'll play with it and see what works - but I do agree that Gordon's speech and voiceover is a cheap way of finding a quick open-ended ending.

Overall very well done and this has been one of my favorite edits. I keep waking in the middle of the night thinking about it. Thank you!

Tight and serious.
I'm not a fan of the expanded title to be frank, but this is superficial. I feel the re-arrangement of certain scenes work very well and the alternative dialogue takes and music worked well enough I had to check them against the original afterward. It's a little zealous with it's focus on pacing but that approach does serve it's interest best overall - especially during the conclusion which is much improved and smoothly cut. I prefer it to the theatrical release without question.

Very tidy work indeed.

Hadn't watched it in a while and I was struck by Ledger's performance all over again. As if they tried that character on for size again so soon (Leto) and so poorly...laughable man.

I had the pleasure of watching this at the weekend, I had not seen the Dark Knight in about 2 years as a result of having watched it far too many times over the previous 8 years.

I have to say I liked most of the changes and cuts that were made, there were a few cringe jokes that I've always liked but humor is subjective, with one objective in mind. To make a tighter, more enjoyable film worthy of multiple viewings, Ryantology succeeds.

This is a great edit that maintains a steady pace and doesn't overstay it's welcome.

All the changes made may be very subtle changes, but they still impressively manage to take one of the best DC film adaptations out there and make it even better. I really do adore The Dark Knight, but I never saw it as some utterly flawless masterpiece. This edit, though, is a masterpiece. Quite possibly one of the best I've ever seen. Brilliant work.

For little room for improvement, Ryantology upgrades the second entry of TDK trilogy to another level. This is indeed a fanfix edit. Really few and subtle changes. All removed scenes are done for good and. For my taste, the only one I could feel unnecessary and abrupt in the excision would be the scene of the Batman landing on the scarecrow's car. Besides that, excellent visual testing. Beyond shortening the running time of the film, removal of silly jokes and childish recurrent lines makes a lot of good to achieve this quality level.

Concerning soundtrack rescoring, seamless replacement and great results. Especially, the tumbler persecution and the closing part of the movie shine completely and provide a kind of track variety that maybe the theatrical version lacks. The only downside I found was the need to adjust my TV volume up and down over the viewing in order to understand some characters' voices and the availability of only 2 audio channels. Nevertheless, considering the file size 4,75 Gb is not something to be really picky about.

Narrative and enjoyment scores to the maximum for sure. It is one of my favorite movies and a modern classic. Improving source material when it's already top-notch is a major accomplishment. Congrats Ryantology for having made the ultimate version of "The Dark Knight" and sharing this piece of artwork.
