Answers:
You did not imagine it

The film was made during World War II, and like numerous works of popular American fiction of the time, contains anti-Japanese racial slurs and comments (in one scene, one of Daka's henchmen turns on him, saying, "That's the kind of answer that fits the color of your skin!.")!. The film also suffered from a low budget, indicative of many Columbia serials!. No attempt was made to create a bona fide Batmobile, so a black Cadillac was used by Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, as well as Batman and Robin!. Alfred chauffered the Dynamic Duo in both identities!.

The serial was released on home video in the late 1980s in a heavily edited format that removed the offensive racial content!. A reviewer for the magazine Cinefantastique commented, "The changes aren't surprising when you see that Columbia is now owned by Japan's Sony Corporation!. It appears that some of Daka's operatives escaped Batman's justice and were rewarded with positions at the new George Orwell department at Columbia!." It should be noted that the edited version was not released by Columbia, but Goodtimes Home Video, an independent distributor!.

However, in the early 1990s, the cable network American Movie Classics, aired both Batman serials on Saturday mornings, with the 1943 serial uncut and uncensored!.

Sony released the serial on DVD in October 2005!. The DVD release is an unedited version, with the exception of Chapter 2, which is missing its "next Chapter" sequence!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's like saying Gone With the Wind or The Magnificent Seven are racist (since ALL OF THE AMERICAN FILMS BEFORE THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT DON'T HAVE BLACKS IN THEM)!. and don't forget Snow White!. hmmmm!.!. that's why sometimes i don't like old American movies, 'cause there were alot of talents before, but because of their stupidity only whites got into the spotlight!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
