Here's the guy's description of the alleged cut scene from "The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair":

One of the most interesting pieces of dialogue, between Batman and Velma was actually edited out, both on the currently playing version, and the DVD! Something about counterfeiting "undermin[ing] the national economy", and that "for the same of world stability, we must capture this criminal here and now".
It is hard to determine where exactly this sequence was. The editing was very good. It was when they first followed the hooded man into the toy warehouse. IIRC, Batman opens the hatch, and then goes up alone, and then brings the others. I try to listen to the background music to tell where something was cut out. It was probably during the next blackout (or "batout") after which they begin following him in the warehouse.

Of course, this could just be an incorrect memory of his. I could buy that 1-2 minutes were cut, because the episodes as shown on TV are short enough to show *with ads* and still run a 7-minute filler cartoon afterward. About 10 years ago, I mentioned this on ToonZone and someone said they had a 16mm print, with ads, and it ran 55 minutes - still shorter, but not AS short. The extra time was originally filled by CBS' "In the News".

Unfortunately, the cover of the Kids Klassics tape says "The Caped Crusader Caper", so this episode likely never had had a video release before the 2000s VHS/DVD. (But if his claim is true, it could also contain extra scenes.)

Anybody got any USA Cartoon Express airings? They may have answers.
