Posted by batchblogs on 12/27/08 • Categorized as Showbiz & Entertainment

The Warner Bros studio said on Wednesday it has canceled plans

to release its blockbuster Batman movie “The Dark Knight” in China, citing “cultural sensitivities” surrounding the film.

The studio, a unit of Time Warner Inc, did not specify what Chinese audiences or censors might find objectionable about the movie.

“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 Bros said in a statement.
