violence
There are fist fights, gunfire and explosions. Gunmen fire into crowds of people, but we do not see any resulting blood or injury detail. A man bites another man's nose, causing a squirt of blood. A woman uses metal claws to leave bloody cuts on a man's face.
threat and horror
A frightened woman is pushed out of a window, and another falls to her death from the top of a building. A sinister villain leaks black goo from his mouth. After a man is electrocuted, there is brief sight of his charred corpse, with lidless, bulging eyes.
language
There is infrequent use of the term 'bitch'. Milder terms include 'bastard', 'shit' and 'son of a bitch'.
sex
Occasional moderate sex references include a man referring to Catwoman as "just the pussy I've been looking for". As a man and woman slow-dance, he asks her if there are 'hard feelings' between them and she replies, "Semi-hard, I'd say".
discrimination
The parents of a deformed baby throw him into a drain.
injury detail
There is sight of blood in the aftermath of violence and sight of a severed arm. A man pulls a blade out of a small bloody wound on his torso.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man grabs a woman and pulls her into an alley with the apparent intention of raping her, but another woman soon stops the attack.
