# The Dark Knight Rises – Parent Guide This intense action thriller features sustained violence including explosions, gunfire, and hand-to-hand combat that may be too intense for younger children, despite the PG-13 rating. The complex plot about Batman being hunted by police requires maturity to follow. Best suited for teenagers 14 and up who enjoy serious superhero films.
