Batman v Superman Receives R-Rating... But There's a Catch
Following 20th Century Fox's enormous success with Deadpool, it seemed only a matter of time before more R-rated superhero helpings would reach us. We never thought it'd be this soon though.
Today confirmation has arrived that the MPAA has officially given an R-rating to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... but it will be released in theaters PG-13.
The rated-R cut will be held off for the blu-ray edition to come later titled the Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition. The rating was given for the extended cut's "sequence of violence".
While it's a shame this cut won't debut in theaters, its exciting nevertheless to know that the opportunity will come not long after.
