Can we talk about how ridiculous the golden age Wonder Woman costume is? Basically a 1940s pin-up swimsuit, decorated in iconography of the USA. I'm glad the movie version seems more faithful to WW's supposed roots in Classical culture.
‘Superman & Batman’ movie will follow ‘Man of Steel’
- Thread starter JoeZhang
- Start date
I wonder if that will make the movie better? Sort of how the Unrated version of The Wolverine (2013) is better than the theatrical cut.
I'm willing to bet the R-Rating is for the violence scenes with Batman and not Superman.
It'll still have Jesse Eisenberg as Luthor and that godawful looking Doomsday.. that alone could sink the movie. Otherwise i really like the antagonism of Batman and Superman and i like the visual style of Affleck as Batman.
I don't know, given Snyder's tendencies I'm not sure that he needs more excess.
Oh c'mon is everyone going to ride Deadpools coat tails?
Funny enough DC's attempts at a cinematic universe started with Green Lantern(Reynold) It was supposed to be lighthearted like Iron Man
and now it's ends with Reynold again.

I know right? It's fucking annoying that Watchmen, 300, Dredd, Kick Ass and Sin City all went "R" after Deadpools success, but now BvS is too!?!?

This collective "Deadpool is the greatest thing that ever happened to the history of cinema" thing is getting annoying...
Eh. Feels like hollow marketing to me. Either the violence means something to the story, in which case the Cinema version is apparently being hamstringed for the sake of the kiddies or it's completely superfluous and this is just a ploy to get fans to shell out more money for a 'special' version. Considering this is *Batman* vs. *Superman*, the very definition of popular family heroes, I'm assuming it's door number 2.
Or it could be that this is MPAA we're talking about, The Avengers got an R rating from them initially.
So what this really means is that originally there were probably three extra drops of blood in a scene somewhere, which got re-included in the extended cut, hence rating upgrade...
So... completely superfluous 'special' edition. Like I said.
Well, what could make this rated R?
- It probably won't be nudity.
- Neither Batman nor Superman will likely kill any human.
- Throwing people through buildings does not merit an R rating. (see MoS)
- Torture of some kind?
- Brutal Superman/Wonder Woman/Doomsday fight?
I think it's too early to jump to such conclusions.
This extended cut will likely reinstate some scenes which were cut for time, so I wouldn't call it superfluous.
What started off as a Superman sequel now has a future cut that's rated R?
To me he's always been on the level of Spider-Man and characters that should be for all ages to enjoy. Not the Lobo's, Deadpool's and Watchmen type characters.
Oh well, our heroes have to grow and change with our cynical, selfish and aging selves I guess, or there's no money or entertainment to be had.

That's what they said in the article. I'm thinking we'll just get a bit more brutality in the Batman fights.
I have no interest in the r-rated version. If I buy it at all, it will be the theatrical version.
