The creators of animation have had to deal with censors for a long time. The people behind Batman: The Animated Series too did often complain about their difficulties with the censors. Here is a collection of their internal comments on some BS&P notes they received, from the book Batman Animated. They say, however, that the censors at Fox and WB were much more lenient than any other network and generally accepted that Batman was supposed to be something of a darker hero. Indeed older cartoon heroes were not even allowed to “make a fist, much less hit anyone with it.”

By the way, you can read the entire rare book at the Internet Archive!

Transcription of the images under the cut.

Bruce, the network says it is not their practice to show animal excrement hitting anyone on a children's show. They want us to cut the bat guano landing on Alfred's jacket and send them a fixed version of the episode.

Page A28: Network says no to Batman slugging Torchy in the gut with his fist. Kicking him, striking him with his whole arm or some such is okay.

Page 15: They won't let Scarface call anyone a "Scumbag".

Page 10: It'll break Alan's heart, but Penguin's joke about "picking up all the soap" in prison is out.

Network wants to cut Batman saying "Oh my God" from the audio cassette. They realize it's the logical thing for the character to say in the situation, but they feel many religious families would be offended by hearing Batman take the Lord's name in vain. It's okay for him to gasp.

Page A59: The third thug must be caucasian.

Page C41-42 Censor says Ras' looks too much like the devil. They want to lose the horned demon mask, glowing eyes, fangs and flames as he emerges from the pit.

Page 19: BS&P says Bane picking up Robin by the head is too easy for a kid to copy with a pet or smaller kid.

Page C16: Censor has a problem with Batman punching the skinny man in the face.

Page C39: Tell Dan he's going to have to restage this so Miriam isn't kicking Batman in the head.

Pages C97, C99, and C124-125: Baby-Doll can't bash Batman in the face with Mr. Happy Head.

Page C58: Robin kicking the thugs in their faces is too much. A body kick is okay.

Pages 4-5: I can't believe they want us to change the scene of the hyenas putting their heads into the baby carriage and chowing down!

Page 34: It has be clear through Harley's dialogue: "I think I made a mess on your cape" that she only barfed.

Pages 15 and 17: Censors want us to be more sensitive toward the families of those with mental illness. As Harley's just been released from the Laughing Academy, they don't want Bullock calling her a "fruitcake" or "screwball".

Page A15: It's okay to have Catwoman rake Batman's face, just don't show any blood.

Pages C10, C15, and C21: Censor wants us to figure out someplace for Catwoman to land other than on her face or breasts.

Page 26: We have to make it clear in the board that Batman's kneeing the Walrus in the stomach.

One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack. He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

This episode haunts me because throughout it’s implied that Jonathan is wearing a fake moustache and sunglasses over a mask of his own face which he wears over his Scarecrow mask which he wears over his real face...
