Sex & Nudity

  • Season three is significantly more adult as it shows two characters in bed after implied sex. Cleavage is also shown with extremely low cut tops
  • In Season 3 characters are up to 8 years older than season 1. Some male/female characters live together. Two characters get drunk and are implied to have slept together, waking up in a bed covered by sheets. The heroes usually have form fitting suits. Some female characters are seen in workout apparel.
  • Season 3 includes a secondary character that admits to Miss Martian that she has been abused by her father. The end of "Quiet Conversations" includes the number for the Domestic Abuse hotline.
  • One of the characters is non binary although it's never implied as they mostly have female traits.
  • Various characters -- notably female superheroes and villains wear revealing or form-fitting clothing. In one episode, a character is implied to be naked, though nothing is seen.

Violence & Gore

  • In season 3, characters are shot, stabbed and impaled onscreen with bloody injury details. Nothing too gory, but some of the deaths or injuries can get quite gruesome (i.e. electrocutions, neck snappings, faces melting).
  • An onscreen beheading happens in episode 9 of season 3. Comes out of nowhere.
  • An explosion goes off and we see a person, still alive with their organs showing and one eye missing. It's the most violent scene in the whole show
  • The show continues to show more gore in season 4, even showing the aftermath of someone who had all of their organs ripped out of them.
  • Lady Shiva cuts to people in half after exiting a portal
  • Season 3 is much more mature, violent assassinations shown on screen with bloody aftermath.

Profanity

  • Mild language in season 3 and 4, including multiple uses of 'badass'. None in seasons one or two.
  • Mild name-calling.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • In one episode of season 3, a man and a woman get drunk and fumble around in a hotel corridor before walking into a room together to have sex.
  • Mentions of drug use. Infrequent smoking and drinking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Season 3 deals with the topic of meta-human trafficking. Children and teenagers from around the world are kidnapped and forced to transform into superhuman monsters. Some of them die during experimentation and others end up fighting the main characters.
  • The third season may be more distressing to younger viewers. A character has the ability to not die, so when killed (in a often violent fashion) , this may initially come across as intense or frightening.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • In Season 3, it is evident that Kaldur, aka Aquaman and formerly Aqualad, is bisexual. This does not become clear until the last 7 episodes of the season. He is shown kissing and holding hands with his partner Wyynde. In the earlier seasons it was implied that he once had an Atlantean girlfriend who left him for his best friend.

Violence & Gore

  • One character in season 3 can resurrect herself after dying. She dies multiple brutal time, including getting her face flesh burned off, neck snapped, gorily impaled in the chest, stabbed in the head with a boomerang, and getting her throat slit with a sword.
  • Kids die in many violent and often gory ways in season 3.
  • A villain snaps his daughter's neck only because she is a liability.
  • A baby is stomped to death in the final episode of season 3.
  • A man runs into a room with a knife, and screams are heard. He comes out with blood on his hands and body, before he is shot in the back. We partially see the mutilated corpses of the people he killed, and there is a lot of blood.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A man hatches a plan to murder a group of children. He doesn't get far, as he is confronted by another person, and violently decapitated. The camera blurs his death, but this doesn't make the fact that he was going to slaughter children any less disturbing. Plus, we see the decapitation happening, even if it is blurred, and we see his corpse afterwards.
