This was a very enjoyable watch. I didn't read the cut list and haven't watched Batman Begins for a while, so I couldn't tell what had been removed, bar the fear toxin parts. That's a testament to how good the editing is. The one thing that I would've kept in were the hallucinations/fear toxin scenes, I thought those were great. Otherwise, looking over the cut list, this edit chose all the weak points to remove, a lot of cheesy dialogue, and a ton of pointless exposition. Really great stuff here, rather than taking a cr*p film and polishing it, njvc has taken a great movie and made it even better. If the fear toxin scenes had been kept in, this would easily replace Batman Begins for me. I look forward to watching the next two parts.

One of my favorite Batman edits. It reinvigorated my interest in Nolan's trilogy making me realize it is one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time.

A fine edit by njvc - I applaud your hard work. I have not seen the rest of the re-cut trilogy, but after seeing this one, I honestly can't wait!

Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved this. This will be my go-to version of the film from now on. I'm excited to check out the other two edits.

Audio/Video quality was top notch, I didn't see any issues

I agree with dangermouse for the most part. I don't agree with your cutting most of Rachel and Bruce's dialog, since while it was a little awkward and clumsy, it was also very important to the story and establishes the theme of "the Bat or the Man". I also am a fan of the hallucination scenes, so I personally would like to see them here. Also, SWEAR TO ME is a classic line. That needs to come back.

Much like dangermouse I can't say this will replace Batman Begins for me, if you have a second version that addresses his complaints, then absolutely it would. However, I still recommend this cut, because it really does go a long way to addressing a lot of the issues the original had.

Hey soufihadi, thank you for your review :) Putting back in the scene with Rachel and Bruce and the "Swear to Me" line would be pretty easy. If there's enough interest in that, I'll put out another version in the future. I can guarantee I won't be putting the CGI hallucinations back in though! You'll have to go back to the original for that... ;)
