A RECORD number of complaints has been made about the 12A certificate of the new Batman movie, it was reported today.
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has apparently received 70 complaints about the certificate awarded to The Dark Knight. Its 12A rating means means children under 12 can see the film if accompanied by an adult.
In the face of rising concerns about knife crime, some viewers have taken issue with the violent content of the film, which stars the late Heath Ledger as a blade-wielding Joker causing death and destruction.
