  As Batman is fighting the Joker and his henchmen, the Joker has a hidden knife blade in the toe of his shoe which he uses to kick Batman in the rib. The scene then cuts to Batman shouting in pain before throwing the Joker to the floor.

  Apart from Harvey Dent's scarred face, there is no blood or gore that is visibly seen throughout the entire film.
