The movie has complex, mixed messages about crime and right and wrong. The Red Hood tries to clean up crime in Gotham City, but he does so by becoming part of it -- he argues that this is more effective than Batman trying to wipe it out. He also argues that murdering the Joker is a better solution than allowing him to live and cause the deaths of hundreds of others. Batman disagrees, saying that if they do that, they become criminals. Batman wins the argument, but he also blames himself for the trouble, and it winds up in an ambiguous area.

Some brutal, bloody cartoon violence. The Joker beats Robin with a crowbar, and there are lots of explosions and fights. Guns are fired, and minor characters die. Characters fight with swords and throwing stars. One scary scene shows a character emerging from the Lazarus Pit screaming in pain and terror.
