There are multiple kissing scenes and there are women dancing in Fish's bar half naked throughout season one (no nudity seen).

Violence & Gore

Severe
170 of 228 found this severe
Professor Pyg can be quite disturbing. He kills cops and then puts a pig face on them. Whenever he kills someone it usually ends up bloody. He forces a group of people to eat pies made out of people.
In some episodes in season three, a character's face is removed, stapled back on, and punched off, revealing blood and muscle beneath.
Falcone's daughter gets shot in the head with blood coming out. It's later said she's in a coma.
Gun wounds and stab wounds are visible and bloody.
The scene where Galavan is brutally beaten with a wooden bat seen bloody, he's then shot and killed and although the bullet impact isn't seen there's blood flowing down his chest.
The spike of a high heel is stabbed through a mans throat.
A very graphic scene where a guy chops off a woman's head with blood squirt then his hand is completely shot off with blood and bits of arm shown this is extremely graphic
People are burnt and froze to death
Lots of graphic punching throughout
Penguin gets his eye blown up pretty bloody

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
104 of 176 found this mild
A 15 or 16-year-old guy buys a club and starts to drink.
Maroni smokes a cigar and some other gangsters all smoke cigars too sometimes there is paraphernalia as well like ashtrays
Riddler get high off his pills and hallucinates after he thinks he kills oswald
Smoking is infrequent but when it does happen it's brief. Cigars are often smoked in the backround but a couple times throughout gangsters smoke cigars. A man puts a cigerete in his mouth but smokes it off screen and there are more scenes of brief cigarette smoking outside most are blink and u miss it
Some use of alcohol and some smoking, usually in Fish Mooney's club.
Oswald Cobblepot gets drunk in one episode. This is more humorous than anything.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
122 of 203 found this severe
In season 2, Mr Freeze kidnaps random people by freezing them, and then trying to successfully thaw them for an experiment. The victims thaw, and eventually melt in a very grotesque way due to the intense heat.
The character Penguin is a frightening and vicious psychopath, and he only gets more and more brutal as the series progresses. As such, any scene with him can be unsettling.
A hitman likes to "eat" people. In one episode, a woman is "eaten" alive in a police station, blood is seen spurting all over the floor.
Some of the deaths can be disturbing due mainly to how graphic they are.
The scene of the Wayne murders is very upsetting and quite brutal.
