HONG KONG — Just because Batman landed in Hong Kong doesn’t mean “The Dark Knight” will. Warner Bros. decided not to release the film in China — or even submit it for censors’ approval — because of “prerelease conditions” and “cultural sensitivities.” Warner Bros. officials may have been concerned the film — particularly scenes shot in Hong Kong, where Batman nabs a gangster — would offend censors. Another possible sticking point is a brief appearance by Hong Kong actor- singer Edison Chen, who appeared in lurid photos with several women this year. Bootleg copies of “The Dark Knight” have been available in Chinese markets for months. The Associated Press
