Anti- Japanese Batman

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

So....I wrote this review a few years back when the 1943 Columbia Pictures Batman cliffhanger serial hit DVD...

I broke out my ancient VHS of this thing and did some video captures, which was kinda fun to see how Sony had edited it...

Wow! Interesting stuff!

As I pointed out in my review at 50 Foot, I'm actually still curious if this was a case of going back to original masters and Sony is unaware of the cut that's on the DVD...
