30…  Rumor: Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray includes 30 minutes of new
footage  Bane -- The Dark Knight Rises  There’s a new rumor
swirling about the Internet that claims the upcoming Blu-ray
release of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Rises will include a
full half-hour of footage originally cut from the film for its
theatrical release. If that seems like the kind of thing Nolan
and the suits at Warner Bros. would likely do, that’s because
this concept is not all that uncommon. We already told you about
the upcoming Blu-ray release of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers which
includes a massive amount of superfluous footage, and the idea
of an extended “Director’s Cut” of any given movie is nearly as
old as theatrical film releases themselves.  What makes this
particular rumor so intriguing though, is that despite a lack of
official confirmation that this extra footage might find its way
onto a Blu-ray disc, the arguments supporting the idea are very
convincing.
