Ahem.
So as not to spoil things for our (single) uninitiated . . .
The following are scenes that were changed in the edited-for-content version:
Lots of white flashes have been added to the action sequences where there were previously none. Additionally, combinations of punches have been mostly trimmed down to one punch. For example, Woof slashes the guard once now instead of twice. Batman no longer punches Ghoul in the gut; he just uppercuts him into the dish. Later on in the club, Terry's vicious attack on Ghoul is cut to a flash and Terry running away while Ghoul falls. There is a 360-degree fight sequence in the opening battle that has also been removed, where Batman fends off the Jokerz one by one.
Seat belts are added to Terry and Bruce as they drive home after their first meeting with the new Joker.
Bonk is not shot with Joker's flag-spear gun, but instead given a dose of Joker laughing gas, taking his implied death off-screen. Because of this, the whole "Take the trash outside, Dee-Dee" and "Are you with me?" sequence is cut.
When Bruce throws the Batarang, it appears as though he's simply pleased that he can still throw and catch a Batarang, instead of it showing him using it to decapitate a Two-Face dummy.
When Terry enters the Batcave to find it demolished by the Joker, the letters 'HA! HA!' written across the floor are changed from red to purple, probably to assure the viewer it is written in spray paint rather than Bruce's blood. But in the version where it was red, it still looked like spray paint.
All other blood is removed. Only one example was passed over. In the flashback sequence when the original Batman smashes through the projection, he smacks the Joker. Blots of blood fly from the Joker's mouth, but he is not bleeding in the next shot.
In the unedited version, when Batman (in the flashback) frees himself from the Joker's ribbon wrap, he throws the knife that he used to free himself with at the Joker. The Joker ducks at the last second and the blade goes through the stage curtain. This would explain the hole behind the Joker.
Two of the Joker's lines are changed. One line, "I'll begin with how I peeled back the layers of the boy's mind" is changed to, "I'll begin with how I affected young Robin's makeover." In another, the words "the serums and the shocks took their toll," are cut out.
The Joker originally wanted Robin to shoot Batman with a gun, saying, "Make Daddy proud." The edited version shows that the Joker wants Robin to "Make him one of us" by shooting him with a gun designed to make Batman similar to the Joker and Robin. Awkwardly, the Joker's line, "The last sound you'll hear will be our laughter," is kept in. Also, the gun is tossed away in the fight with the Joker. When Robin drops down to cry, the gun is right next to him. When Batgirl comes to comfort him, the gun is gone.
The Joker is not shot, but slips in some water and is electrocuted off screen. The dialogue in the subsequent scene is changed, with no mention of the Joker being buried under Arkham Asylum.
Barbara says that Leslie Thompkins helped Tim "back to himself" instead of "back to sanity."
During a montage where Batman and Batgirl comb the underworld looking for clues about Robin's disappearance, Batgirl talks to a nicely-dressed man and woman instead of two sleazily-dressed women, clearly intended to be prostitutes or gang members, on a street corner. Oddly enough, these two women appeared in Batman: Gotham Knights as Batgirl's "sources," in the episode "The Ultimate Thrill."
The Joker no longer slices Batman across the chest or in the leg (originally intended to explain why Bruce walks with a limp in Batman Beyond); he just punches Batman. However, if one looks closely at the Joker's hand, the knife handle is still visible in the edited version.
More than half of the "Our Family Memories" home movie is cut out, only showing Robin tied up and struggling, and cutting the scene where the Joker opens the barbeque lids, picks up the voltage tongs, and shocks Robin.
A lot of dialogue is changed as well; references to the word "kill" are changed.
The opening fight sequence is trimmed, cutting out a second Dee-Dee kick and completely redoing the entire Batman/Dee-Dee sequence.
The club fight is changed. Chucko no longer punches Terry and says "I don't know why the boss wants a dreg like you outta the way, but hey, as long as it's fun..." He just goes for his gun and says "Slag him!"
Bruce says "Robin defeated him" instead of "Robin did shoot him."
The Joker says "Bat-Kook" instead of "Bat-Fart."
Jordan Price says "tried to ice Wayne" instead of "tried to kill Wayne."
Tim Drake says "I can still hear his scream" instead of "I can still hear the shot."
The Joker says "...with such yutzes" instead of "...with such putzes."
In the scene where the satellite laser chases the Batmobile, it blasts an unmarked, dark, seemingly empty building. Originally, it was a lit movie theater. In the edited version, the word "cineplex" can be seen exploding out of the wreckage in the last few frames of the shot.
The clothing on Nana Harley is changed from blue and purple to Harley Quinn's trademark red and black, probably to assure the audience that she is the real Harley, and that she did not die (although this is more for the benefit of the audience than actual censorship).
The introduction to the scene on the Wayne Enterprises yacht between Jordan Price and his female friend is excised
