Parents Guide[]
LEGO Batman[]
Sex & Nudity[]
Condoms are depicted on the streets and sidewalks, but they look rather fake and aren't displayed prominently.
Poison Ivy kisses a guard, but this is to kill him rather than as an actual display of affection.
Superman and Poison Ivy kiss in one scene. Robin almost snogs her in another episode, but Superman stops him.
A man and a woman make advances towards one another throughout Bats, Cats, and Birds, with a proposal happening near the middle of the video (nothing sexual is depicted).
Graffiti with the text reading "naughty", "meat", and a reference to "happy endings" are all sprawled on the wall of Penguin's boat in Bats, Cats, and Birds. Viewers aren't likely to notice this.
A woman is forcibly kissed by a Taliban member in Arctic Asylum.
A (non-detailed) drawing of a penis is depicted in Ice-Berger's Syndrome, but it is torn in half before it can be seen clearly.
Straddling and kissing are depicted in certain episodes of Season 3, but it’s hard to discern since they are LEGO figures.
A strip club is the central location of one episode; Widowmaker and another woman are depicted pole-dancing.
A police officer searches for porn in the penultimate episode of Season 3.
Violence & Gore[]
A large amount of violence is depicted, but all of the characters are cartoony LEGO Minifigures.
Heroes and villains try to shoot and hit each other, often with successful results.
A man melts into a skeleton upon landing in a barrel of acid, and a corpse’s face is reduced to a skull by it (some blood is shown).
In Riddler's Withdrawal, Riddler fires at an officer (he falls over without injury detail, a chalk outline is depicted with a bloodstain later on).
An explosion occurs at the bank after dynamite and a nuclear device are set off; Clay-Face appears to have burst apart from the blast, but he reassembles himself.
A gigantic Clayface goon is dismembered and becomes a clay gravestone (slightly disturbing).
Clayface is melted by the sprinkler system at the end of Banking on Batman.
Gunfire and missiles are used in vehicle chases, with realistic sounds.
Batman is caught in an explosion in Polarizing Reception. He is later shown covered with bloody bandages at the start of Two-Face Chase.
A cop is run over by Two-Face's truck in Two-Face chase, with a bloody pulp shown after he's crushed.
The later videos are far bloodier and gorier, with standouts being the Riddler and Two-Face's episodes, which depict bloody shootings and brains, and the Killer Croc episodes, which have dismemberment and blood. However, the fact that Play Dough is used in the Killer Croc episode mitigates the violence.
Later episodes depict visible damage to goons, such as a man getting slammed into the concrete and bleeding in the Bane episode.
Bodies with bloody, meaty gunshot wounds are depicted in Bats, Cats, and Birds (hard to notice), as well as Ice-Berger's Syndrome. However, the bodies are out of focus and not extremely realistic.
A hostage is killed in Bats, Cats, and Birds, although the actual shooting is not depicted; a gunshot is heard and the man's hat lands on a log, with blood trailing down a nearby plant.
Arctic Asylum gets as violent and gory as Firefight, if not more so. Security guards are shot, with blood and intestines (the latter of which are simply coils of red clay and chewing gum) depicted.
Feces are visible in the sewers leading to Penguin's lair, some of which with human remains inside.
Multiple innocents are exploded and shot by the Penguin Minions (we don't see most of the killings, with one of the exceptions being a man's girlfriend getting shot). A child is killed, which is implied by him dropping his ice cream cone and blood dripping onto it.
Penguin gets caught in an explosion and dies, with the resulting corpse being charred.
A funeral scene shows various gravestones, including one dedicated to a minor.
Fear Me very is gory and likely to disturb viewers despite the fact that the characters are LEGO figures. Minors are killed, and brief instances of human defecation (and fecal consumption’ are depicted.
A strip club shooting in Gentlemen's Club results in civilian injuries and one death. Batman uses the Batarang to impale some of the shooters, as they bleed from the impact. The survivors are depicted with a grazed arm and a shot through the chest, respectively (the dead patron also has a gunshot wound near the chest).
Profanity[]
Little dialogue is present, therefore very little profanity.
Both “s**t” and ”b*tch” are used in Hero Academia (the former is pretty hard to hear).
A recording says the word "pulled his quilly d*** out" in Moth-Men.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking[]
Fear gas and acid (the melting kind) are the only substances that are typically depicted.
Cigarettes are littered across the streets of Gotham City, although they're pretty badly made and aren't visible for very long.
Riddler smokes either a cigar or a blunt in one episode; no smoke is depicted, although lighting and puffing sounds are heard.
Graffiti related to marijuana (i.e. green leaves) and its effects ("Stay High") are depicted in Bats, Cats, and Birds.
A strip club with a bar is depicted in one episode; drinking glasses are visible (it’s likely that viewers will be more concerned with the suggestive themes than the alcohol reference).
Frightening/Intense Scenes[]
The Joker is played out to be threatening but isn't intended to frighten viewers.
The rather sudden explosion in Riddler's Withdrawal may be intense for younger viewers.
The shooting in Golden Coral is rather intense, and may upset viewers with PTSD.
A captive is shot in cold blood in Cats, Bats, and Birds. This is one of the darkest moments in the Batman episodes, although the rapid tone change to a woman on a submerged lilypad lessens this (Batman is still depressed, though).
Some of the Penguin and Joker episodes depict multiple motiveless murders of innocents.
A rather dark cemetery scene is depicted in Ice-Berger's Syndrome. The scene is lightened by some bathos, however.
Batman dies in the series finale. This scene is played for drama but isn’t too sad.
Trivia[]
Brendan had briefly resigned from the DC series, with his older brother, Zachary, haven taken over, directing and producing Sewer-Cide Squad and The Crocodilian Menace, having directed and produced Green with Envy beforehand. However, Brendan has since returned as director and producer as of Bats, Cats, and Birds, but still takes many ideas from Zachary.
