It's supposed to be brutal and mature. If you want something PC and safe, there are plenty of cartoons that stay in G territory.

You know, there are ways to be "brutal" and "mature" without straight up being disrespectful to a character. Under The Red Hood, or Robin Vs Teen Titans would be two fantastic examples.

How is being brutally tortured and beaten (to death) "respectful"?

 

Let's imagine for a brief moment, what if Jason Todd wasn't a boy, but girl. "Violence against Women". The End.

If it's unbearable to watch, outright vicious even for 18+ standard, then gender shouldn't play a role. However, it obviously does.

You wrote it yourself:

What about your best pal? Not embarrased to show him?

Sry, but you're just being sexist here. At least from my point of view. I'm one of those rare individuals who'd like to see men and women equally treated. You're just patronizing, like the way you decided for your girlfriend how to feel about this animated movie.
