Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'' has a quite brutal flashback showing the Joker's death. It was rated PG-13.
* ''WebAnimation/LoboWebseries'' subverts this despite the huge amount of gore, swearing and sexual content.
* The third and final season of ''WebAnimation/GothamGirls'' has a more dramatic tone compared to the first two seasons.
