Batman and 12A
The Daily Mail is running a campaign, led by those stalwarts, Allison Pearson (How does she do it?) and Iain Duncan-Smith, to get Batman reclassified as a 15, rather than a 12A.I have some sympathy because I believe all films should be classified 33, and for parents who don't like the idea of their 12,13 and 14yr olds seeing it. But aside from that it seems as if parental responsibility has gone out of the window. Suzanne Prinz tell sthe Mail she took her 7yr old son to see it and 'instantly regretted it'. Eh? The child is only 60% of the age that the classification recommends one can see it at. The official wording is a 12A is 'Suitable for 12 years and over.'
