Many parents were taking their children to see the new Batman movie The Dark Knight, they thought that it would be like them going to see Hancock, but they were shocked when they started to watch the new movie.
Many parents found themselves squirming during a number of scenes, which they then knew that they had made the wrong decision to bring their children along. On USA Today, one parent had said that the PG-13 should be changed to R.
The thing that parents should remember before taking their children along to The Dark Knight is that it is not like any other superhero movie. This new Batman movie is so much darker; we all knew this before the film was released.
Christopher Nolan has gone for a bleak adaptation of the comic book hero, with a darker Joker than we have ever seen before, thanks to the talents of the late Heath Ledger.
Before you decide to take your kids to see The Dark Knight, the best thing you could do is ask friends and family who have seen the movie, if they think that it is suitable to take your children along.
