Off screen someone's finger is broken while being tortured.

In the director's cut a woman gets shot in the hand and her fingers fly off (Still makes me shudder).

In one sequence Rorschach starts freaking out after realizing he's made a serious mistake.

Arguably, yes. One of the main characters narrates to the viewer, but it could be interpreted as just standered narration. It did make me uncomfortable though.

Graphic scene (aftermath) of homophobic violence including slurs in the opening montage. Would recommend skipping if you are sensitive to that content (nothing nearly as graphicly homophobic in the rest of the film).

The ending is rather notorious for its ambiguity. While it's shown that the world is a better" place, it's unclear whether it'll last. Additionally, the fates of each main character range from happy to depressing.

SPOILER there's the threat of nuclear bombs throughout the whole film, but actually the explosions at the end are not nuclear. They are caused by dr manhattan's energy. They look more like electric powers, too.
