Just wondering if anyone has bought the region 2/4 Batman or Batman Returns from cd wow.
Really wanna order them for the bargain price of £9.99 but have been put off cos of the nasty ratings logo thing on the front of them.
Can anyone tell me if they are stickers that you can peel off as it looks really s***e with them on?

Im still p***ed off that HMV have sold out of their exclusive Batman Begins set!!!!

I received Batman Returns and am waiting for Batman. The metallic slip case has a removable sticker on the front but the actual DVD cover is printed.

R2 Batman Returns and Forever are still cut.

Batman Returns Classified 15 September, 2005

To obtain this category cuts of 0m 7s were required. The cuts were Compulsory.
Cut required to remove a potentially dangerous imitable technique, in accordance with BBFC Policy and Guidelines and the Video Recordings Act, 1984.

Catwoman places an aerosol in a microwave but not in the UK version as we may be stupid enough to copy this idea.

A clown swinging on chainsticks during in attack on Batman has also suffered. The BBFC refuse to allow the sight of chainsticks regardless of their usage.

Batman Forever This is the UK cinema version as cut, and no changes have been made since 1995

A shot of a cutting torch being picked up just after the main logo is missing.

Two Face`s reply after the guard says "You said you`d let me live" is missing Nothing better than live bait to trap a bat!

After the "punctual funeral" line, Two Face shouting Kill the Bat! has been removed from the soundtrack and replaced with music and guards grunting

When the elevator dings just before Batman exits, Two Face' shout of "Blast him!" is not present in the UK version.

The fight outside the elevator has lost a lot of sound effects, as well as a sequence where Batman drops his leg sharply onto a thug's chest, complete with a loud thud

Batman delivering a backward headbutt and breaking a thug's nose in extreme close-up has been removed

Close-ups of kicks to midriffs and faces are also missing

Two Face' lines in the helicopter about the acid have been removed

In the sequence where the helicopter pilot is killed, Two Face emptying an entire clip into the helicopter pilot has been trimmed, along with shots showing the bullets riddling the pilot's body from the front. The cut UK version has only three shots fired, and the pilot is shown slumping from behind

The death of Nygma's boss does not show him stopping on the window ledge, and hanging in terror, before Nygma runs over and says Fred, babe! You are fired! Or should I say...terminated? With this, he pulls the hat off him and he falls down, but this is all cut from the UK print

Two Face' line in the circus big top is cut from the UK version - Our new act for your personal amazement; we call it - Massacre Under The Big Top!

A shot of Nygma laughing at the above line is also missing

When the Mayor asks what Two Face wants at the circus, his reply is shortened from Batman. Bruised, broken, bleeding. In a word, dead! to simply Batman

The UK version is missing the sequence where Bruce Wayne kills one guard on the right side of the big drum by coming up behind him, breaking his neck, and smacking him in the face as he falls

When Two Face flips his coin before killing the Graysons, after his evil laugh he goes on to say Their kind of day, which is missing in the UK version

As the bomb is raised through the roof of the circus, a quick sequence of Bruce flipping a guard over and kicking him hard in the gut is missing

When Two Face accidentally kills two of his men in the car, their screams have been cut short in the UK version, and a shot of the driver's terrified face has been removed

The fight at Nygma's party loses some impact sounds

Shortly after this, Batman makes a guard do the splits and another crack accompanies this, but the sound has virtually been eliminated from the soundtrack

A small crack has been greatly reduced in volume as Batman twists a thug's arm backwards

Robin throwing Two Face a vicious headbutts after the line, "This is for me!" has been replaced in the UK version, by removing the punch Robin throws after he says This is for my brother! and reinserting in place of the headbutt
