it was fine for my 7 year old ... but it depends on the kid .. they're all different.
Mine can handle a darker Batman ... but he sure as fuck couldnt handle the films R. Usher has shown his kids.
Fantasy violence is one thing ... but i know my kid isnt emotionally equiped at this point to handle rape and torture violence - especially how they are presented in a lot of horror movies. (slow, lingering and exploitive)
also - i would always worry if there was anything going on on a subconcious lever ... not visible now but something that could have a time bomb effect later in life. I'm not willing to gamble on certain things.
that being said - kids are a lot more informed - and jaded these days..
my kid had no problem with 2 face's makeup effects.
40 years ago it would have scared the shit out of me and given me night terrors. back then we didnt have special features on DVDs that showed how makeup and FX were done)
but The Dark Knight ... i'd day that there are a couple of things that might bother a more sensitive kid ... but not too much.
there is a bit with a pencil that is pretty nasty when you think about it - but its done very quickly - and non graphically.
