Yeah, the kid can handle PG-13. He's a pretty seasoned horror buff already and has posters of Leatherface and Mudvayne all over his wall and has seen Heath Ledger's Joker (also a poster on his wall) I think he can deal with it. If I get it and we watch it, I'm not going to tell him who's doing the voice of Red Hood and see if he figures it out :-)!
