The main warnings would be about the blood, violence and some nudity. To answer the question, you do not need to be 18+ to watch it in the cinema, but rather 15+.
First off let me start by saying, yes this is a very dark, violent, and intense movie and I would NOT recommend it for a child. However when it comes to a teen/preteen I think it depends on the teen/preteen, have you taught them right from wrong and do they know the difference between real life and fiction?
The Joker's age changes depending on the version of the character – for example, in Batman: The Animated Series, he's 44 years old, but in some stories in the comics, he has been portrayed as being in his late 50's, so it's not surprising that the movie went for a younger portrayal.
This is in line with the original “Joker,” which was rated R for “strong bloody violence, disturbing behavior, language and brief sexual images.” Directed by Todd Phillips, “Joker: Folie à Deux” sees Phoenix reprise his role as the title character, with Gaga joining as his twisted lover Harley Quinn.
Mad Love introduces Harley Quinn as a former psychologist named Harleen Quinzel who fell in love with the Joker during her internship at Gotham City's Arkham Asylum and details her transformation into the Joker's villainous accomplice Harley Quinn, as well as the Joker's lack of respect for Harley.
The Joker has undergone many revisions since his 1940 debut. The most common interpretation of the character is that of a man who, while disguised as the criminal Red Hood, is pursued by Batman and falls into a vat of chemicals that bleaches his skin, colors his hair green and his lips red, and drives him insane.
Parents need to know that Deadpool is a superhero story aimed at -- and most appropriate for -- mature audiences only. It has lots of graphic violence, sex (including partial nudity), adult humor, and nonstop strong language.
I'm a big batman fan and I can say that this is a must see even if you don't really like Batman, still see it. So in the end, I'd recommend this film for anyone 12 and over. It does have some violence and very mature themes but if your child knows that it's fake and not real then they'll be fine.
Such diagnostic vagueness does not allow a diagnosis of psychotic disorder or schizophrenia, although to the viewer's untrained eye Joker may appear a hysterically laughing supervillain who is stereotypically 'insane'. We also have no evidence to establish a diagnosis of major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder.

A female version of the Joker appeared as part of DC's Tangent Comics line in her own one-shots (Tangent Comics: The Joker #1 in 1997 and Tangent Comics: The Joker's Wild! #1 in 1998). This Joker bore little resemblance to the traditional interpretation of the character and instead was modeled on Duela Dent.
The Joker's most famous romantic partner is definitely Harley Quinn. Together, they were two peas in a pod, at least until it all came crashing down. Harley Quinn got her start with the Joker when she became his psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum.
