Belfast City Council has reversed a decision refusing under 15’s to see The Batman in Belfast cinemas.
At the full council meeting on Tuesday (March 1), elected representatives decided to overturn a council Licensing Committee decision and the British Board of Film Classification’s 15 rating for the film, to allow new 15A classification on the film.
The unprecedented decision makes the movie the first to receive the classification in Northern Ireland, and will allow parents to bring children under 15 years to see the film. The UK currently has no such widespread classification, but the Republic of Ireland does. The Batman opens in the UK on March 3.
