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).

During the scene where Alexander Knox and Vicki Vale explore Bruce Wayne's collection of statues, there is brief innuendo in their discussion. As such, Knox comments that chicks like Bruce for "great, big charity balls" to which Vicki replies "And let's not leave out his very large bankroll."

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 mangled and is pretty hard to watch for squeamish people.

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.
