Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that these episodes provide lots of action, plus a surprisingly mature swipe at the snobbery of high society, and a heroic portrait of a corporate whistle-blower. But because of its cartoonish violence and mayhem, this video is questionable for children under 8. Older children will better comprehend the stories, and will be better able to deal with the sometimes nasty violence. Teens and adults will appreciate the clever dialogue and in-jokes.

Sexual Content

Not applicable.

Violence

Car crashes, fights, and gunfire throughout. The Penguin threatens Cooper's daughter with a razor-sharp umbrella. Socialite Veronica Vreeland nearly dies when the opera-house chandelier she is tied to starts to fall. The Penguin puts one man into a whirlpool in a giant rubber duck; this victim, is never heard from again.

Language

Not applicable

Social Behavior

The Penguin offers a "cappucino" to Batman that's really a can of rat poison.

Consumerism
