actually Bleach is rather tame, but the translations do tend to be censored, if you can see if you can find the fansubs, they're much better.
I can't remember examples from bleach but in sailor moon they turned the gay couple zoicite and kunzite into a het couple by making zoicite a girl and changed kunzite's name to malachite because it had overtones, they changed the relationship between sailors neptune and uranus from lovers to cousins and there were whole episodes cut out of it
Kakashi in Naruto was almost completely sanitised from his harmless lechery
I imagine bleach will be the same, so I automatically go to fansubs or hong kong dubs, I am happy to support the manga with actual merch but more often than not the translations aren't worth the money that they're printed on - also they are much further ahead, often only a day or two behind the Japanese release, so I've seen the originals as it were, not the sanitised version
if you need to know how to get fansubs let me know

- interesting detail about the bat in the #0 comics, with all the idea that both bruce and terry were led into the cave by bats... and how in batman and son dami wore the cowl as something in arabic that translated as son of the bat
there is a panel in lil gotham where bruce takes dami to the zoo and is "no more pets!", but in the last eps of red hood, nightwing, inc there is alfred with the cow (he also became vegetarian), but the bit where he played football with roy (the first time roy threw the ball he thought it was an attack) killed me - then they killed him.
