It's not a lie. He didn't get the award because Brokeback was seen as too controversial, so they went for the next best choice of a biopic (which are also Oscar machines).

Don't worry - IF Snyder fans don't like his release JL cut when it appears on HBO Max - expect the "OMG! DC still interfered -- RELEASE THE REAL SNYDER CUT NAO!"
The people who like Snyder will like it. The rest of us, not so much.
Snyder‘s not exactly an unknown quantity at this point, so I see no reason to expect his fans won’t be happy with his version. It will be Snyder. It will be very, very Snyder.

Agreed. But that's Anwar's platform: his homophobia, coughing up lies couched in revisionist history and constantly spiting on a dead man / disrespecting the fact of his legitimate Oscar win is all tied together by his neverending hatred of current DC films which have achieved things his obsession--the MCU--could not.
I remember when it came out on special edition DVD in 2006 I saw those deleted scenes and I knew before that there was a longer, darker cut. But those deleted scenes aren't that, not all the deleted scenes of this longer cut are on that release, there is a lot more. If you add the music, effects and cut it into the movie, include alternate takes and change the actual layout of when each scene happens then it would be a very different cut.
They are going to be doing a new HBO-Max spin-off series focused on The Batman's version of the Gotham PD. The series is being created by The Batman's director, Matt Reeves, and Boardwalk Empire creator Terrence Winter. No word on cast yet, but it's probably safe to assume that Jeffrey Wright's Jim Gordon is going to play some role.
I'm a little surprised to see them doing another Gotham PD show so soon after Gotham ended.

That's what I wanted Gotham to be.
They say it's going to deal with police corruption, so I hope it doesn't shy away from addressing the nationwide problems with police brutality, racism, and militarization.
We've now got what appears to be our first official look at a post-transformation Cheetah.
Looks pretty good to me, pretty much just a cat-woman hybrid, with no dramatic changes from the comics.

Exploitation of a dead man? You call that achieving anything?
No.
Pal, if you're ignoring how Biopics are like pure Oscar Bait you're more hopeless than I thought.
Well, naturally. If you change a bunch of stuff then that changes the movie, but my point is that the deleted scenes give a more realistic idea of what the longer version is as opposed to some legendary alternate cut that somehow makes the movie a masterpiece. A lot of the deleted material is just as goofy and stupid as what is in the film.
I've also had a flick through the shooting script for the movie, and there's not much of any substance that isn't in the finished film or the released deleted scenes.
Yeah, this is what I'm hoping for, too. Gotham Central in TV form.
No. I’m laughing at the intensely puerile, unsubstantiated, tediously tiresome, repetitive bovine excrement constantly found in your posts where you repeatedly offer a desperate, unfathomable, unfounded argument about Heath Ledger’s Oscar, owing to an irrationally expressed hatred of an approach to films based on comics that happens to differ from your exceedingly narrow vision of what constitutes an acceptable way to make such films. Only two reactions to your argument are warranted—dismissive laughter or...yawning.
If your opinion of the theatrical cut is goofy and stupid then that would color your view. But speaking for myself here, extended or alternate cuts have changed my entire opinion of a movie.
The deleted scenes alone don't decide the tone of the film, there's the score, the color palette, alternate takes, cuts to dialogue, jokes could be removed. How much of what Jim Carrey did was in the script? If the Director's cut of the movie was 2hrs and 40 minutes then that was the cut and those scenes were intended to be part of the film and not throwaways.
The score, color palette, and editing choices were all made (or okayed) by Schumacher. What you're talking about is a re-edit after the fact. All I'm saying is, anyone expecting some amazing revelation from this "other cut" could likely be very disappointed. Assuming it ever gets released.
Surprisingly, quite a lot. I daresay they tailored the shooting script to his style ahead of time though.
I wouldn't expect that, but as I said, I didn't mind Forever overall, and some more fleshing out of certain underdeveloped elements could be a moderate improvement. Not everything has to be hyperbole.
