In the scene when the Joker visits Vicky Vale's apartment, as he is leaving on the wall behind him for several seconds is a painting of a woman nude from the waist up (breasts completely visible).

While battling the Joker's henchman in a cathedral, Batman battles one henchman and is smashed through wooden structures until he gains the upper hand by throwing the henchman down the stairway to his presumed death.

Jack Napier shoots at Batman, the bullet flies back in the face of Jack and blood splatters out. Both his cheeks are somewhat mangled.

An acrobat with knives attached to his boots tries to stab Batman but Batman tazes him in the crotch and knocks him unconscious.

This film as a whole has a very dark and foreboding tone (comparable to the Nolan trilogy), but some of it is balanced with some sense of humor.

Alicia removes her mask to reveal her acid-scarred face. It is implied that she is consensual to Joker's unseen mutilation of her face. It is later implied that she commits suicide at Joker's behest.

Some of the fight scenes are intense. Especially one towards the end of the film where a particularly large Joker thug wearing sunglasses goes berserk and almost kills Batman, at one point slamming him into a wall and repeatedly punching him.
