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?
There is also some strong language, around 25 clear uses of the term 'f**k' and some bleeped uses in news reports. These are acceptable at 15 where Guidelines allow for strong language. The team also noted several scenes in which Fleck thumbs through notebooks, including while performing on stage.
The film features verbal and visual references to suicide, a woman is smothered with a pillow and the main character suffers from mental illness after being abused as a child. People are shot and stabbed, sometimes accompanied by large blood sprays and spatters.
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+. Check the rating system in your home country to make an informed choice to watch it or not.

“The Joker is a character with almost 80 years [of] history, half of which he was portrayed as homosexual,” Shestakova states, CBR reported. “Neal Adams claimed that the Joker was and always had been homosexual [..] in the 'Batman Files' book. This opinion was shared by other comic book authors and artists for decades.
As explained by the aforementioned source, 'Joker: Folie a Deux' will be rated R due to its “strong violence, pervasive language, some sexuality, and brief full nudity.” However, the rating is unlikely to pose a problem for the sequel, as its predecessor was also classified in this category.
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.
A "Joker" sequel titled "Joker: Folie à Deux" is set for release on October 4. The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck and Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. The film is a musical and will reportedly include at least 15 new versions of well-known songs.
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 Batman" Isn't Meant for kids, It's meant for those who understand Batman. As someone who reads and digests almost every form of media Batman, I can say this Batman walked up to the plate and knocked a home run. Its some of the best acting, best story, best cinematography you'll ever see.
It's not quite horror film levels, but some scenes are particularly shocking. The film contains a few shootings and stabbings with brief injury detail. While it's not excessively bloody or gory, it's in your face when it happens and mostly used for impact.
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.
The scenes are graphic, bloody and framed as desperate acts from an unhinged man. The only audience that might incorrectly view “Joker” as a film encouraging violence is a young audience. That, more than any other reason, is why kids should not see the film.
The roughly 2-minute teaser sees Phoenix's Joker and Gaga's Harley Quinn escape from a mental asylum and embark on an intense, twisted romance to the tune of Tom Jones and Sammy Davis Jr.'s “What the World Needs Now Is Love.”
The Joker's detached face, one of the primary vessels of fear in the story, contributes to this abstraction. That rotting skin held taut by staples and wires reminds us the familiar can be easily cut away to tease the horror of the unknown lying beneath.

The writing in this movie is just plain phenomenal, and the comedy: golden. However, Deadpool is not for kids. While this film does have an incredible story, amazing writing and fantastic acting, its also VERY mature in almost every aspect.
The Comics Bulletin website posed the question "Is Batman Gay?" to their staff and various comic book professionals. Writer Alan Grant has stated: "The Batman I wrote for 13 years isn't gay.
Everything seems to be going swimmingly until Arthur lets himself into Sophie's apartment after his mother's death, and she barely recognizes him. Viewers then see alternate versions of Sophie's scenes where Arthur is interacting with thin air, clearly indicating that the entire relationship was a fabrication.
