"Dark Knight" -- Too Spicy for China

Posted Dec 26th 2008 1:23AM by TMZ Staff

Seems everyone in the world has seen "The Dark Knight" –- everyone except about a billion Chinese folks.

That's because "DK" hasn't been released by Warner Bros. in mainland China, reports the Huffington Post, because of "prerelease conditions" and "cultural sensitivities." There's a scene that takes place in Hong Kong where Batman corrals a gangster, and another involving a famous actor who got caught up in a sex-pic scandal, and those scenes may have worried the studio.

Of course, as HuffPost points out, bootlegs have been available for months in China.

1. Lol...I believe it about the bootlegs. When I was in Korea, that's all I bought was DVD quality "bootlegs". I rarely went to the movies.

2. I GUESS THESE CHINESE LOSERS ARE TOO BUSY MAKING TOXIC PRODUCTS TO POISION THE WORLD RATHER THAN LETTING THEIR PEOPLE WATCH DVD'S!

3. To above LOSER Butter-crump, I am sure (not guessing) you are too busted in your real life thus having nothing meaningful to do other than sh*tting around on the web. Stop using your self-produced sh*t to wash your mouth any more cause it really stinks, and dare you touch anything made-in-China, they are not made for scum like you.
