Sex and nudity in Justice League
Content is limited to mild innuendo and physical attraction. Characters share brief kisses, and there are occasional shots of male characters shirtless; a scene involves a character lying on top of another for a comedic beat, and there is a conversation featuring a clumsy verbal slip-up about being 'thirsty'.
Violence and gore in Justice League
Moderate fantasy action is frequent. Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons engage in battles using axes and energy weapons, resulting in mass destruction, off-screen deaths, and intense fighting. While blood is largely absent, characters are punched, thrown into structures, or crushed, and there is a general sense of stakes and peril throughout.
Language in Justice League
Mild profanity is present. The script includes words such as 'shit,' 'asshole,' 'damn,' and 'bitch,' along with one instance of a barely audible 'fuck'.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Justice League
Incidental and mild. Adult characters are seen consuming alcohol in public houses or privately, and one character is shown throwing a bottle into the sea after drinking.
Mature themes in Justice League
The film deals with heavy thematic weight, specifically focusing on the death, exhumation, and resurrection of a central hero. Additionally, the narrative revolves around global catastrophe, the potential destruction of humanity, and the grief felt by characters losing their friends or family.
