China Movie Blacklist Watch: The Dark Knight

Variety reports that the latest Batman film (The Dark Knight in case you’ve been living under a rock) won’t be released in China, due to ‘cultural sensitivites’. In other news, it’s been available on every street corner in Singapore since June. Grow a pair, China. Seriously.

“Based on a number of pre-release conditions that are being attached to ‘The Dark Knight’ as well as cultural sensitivities to some elements of the film, we have opted to forego a theatrical release of the film in China,” Warner said.

A studio spokesam declined to elaborate. “The Dark Knight” included scenes shot in Hong Kong, which could have created difficulties in convincing censors to approve the release.
