This just seems like a ploy to piggyback of the Deadpool success. I doubt very seriously that whatever they include in the "r" release is going to need an R rating.

Except they got the R rating back in September of 2015

I did not know that. *Retracted*

I still disagree that the violence would require an R rating. But the MPAA does seem to be wildly inconsistent at times.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN to Get R-Rated Ultimate Edition Blu-Ray Release


Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is set to get an R-rated "Ultimate Edition" release on Blu-ray, according to the Classifications and Ratings Administration.

Titled Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition, the expanded cut is likely to be similar in scope to Batman V Superman director Zack Snyder's Ultimate Cut of Watchmen.

It's reportedly rated R only for "scenes of violence," so it's unlikely this is a byproduct of Deadpool's massive success and the spate of R-rated comic book movies now rumored to be in development.

Batman V. Superman To Get R-Rated Ultimate Edition Blu-Ray Release
James Gunn made a comment once about there being a lesson to be had from the success of Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool....and making everything Rated-R, is not it.

The original cut has been rated-R since last September so not sure what Deadpool has to do with anything.

And you do know just because the directors cut is rated-R doesn't mean we're going to see Batman masturbating in bed, Lois Lane's tits, and people getting impaled right? Deadpool is a hard R and barely made the cut for being rated-R. They had to cut stuff from that movie so that it could be R.

Movies get rated-R all the time because of how sensitive the MPAA is. The way Batman takes out this goon could be a little too graphic. There could be a tiny bit too much blood in this scene so it's slapped with an R.

Avengers original cut was rated-R because Coulson's death was a little too bloody. WB's home release of The Hobbit was rated-R. The Dark Knight was barely able to not be rated-R. WB is no stranger to this. Happens all the time.

Except WB/DC thinks that Rated-R is what we want or they would have never intended an R-Rated version to be released on DVD.

Suicide Squad is the only thing WB/DC has attempted to make that isn't following someone else's formula. And in all honesty should have been a planned Rated R. But they were too scared to do it.

I want it. You intend to speak for everybody? And did you forget your lesson already? Rated-R means basically nothing until we see the movie because we don't know sure what kind of R it is. What makes more sense here? A super graphic saw style torture porn, sex filled, Batman v Superman movie that they had to heavily edit to fit PG-13 or perhaps knowing how sensitive MPAA is, and knowing how brutal Batman is supposed to be in this movie, maybe it's because of that? If I had to guess both version won't be significantly different. I do have one theory but it goes into spoiler territory.

Btw how does an r rated Blu-Ray release effect you? You don't have to buy it, and you can still get the PG-13 version. Your hating doesn't seem logical at all.

Suicide Squad is the only thing WB/DC has attempted to make that isn't following someone else's formula. And in all honesty should have been a planned Rated R. But they were too scared to do it.

Even if you think this, this is relevant how? You've already been proven wrong that Batman v Superman has an r rating because of Deadpool. So what formula are they following here?

MAYBE the announcement that it is rated-R to capitalize off the Deadpool hype. That's what a smart business man would do. But that's ignoring that WB themselves didn't even make the announcement. I guess you can believe WB purposefully leaked it but there's no way to know that for sure. So it's all tinfoil at that point.
 
Imo this makes money no matter what. Superman and Batman together? GTFO you want that, don't lie. Problem is if it isn't good it puts their entire universe in danger. The best thing for fans is for both companies to do well, so I hope it's great. Not very optimistic though.

Yea I'll be honest this movie looks like it's going to be stupid. Maybe I'll be surprised but I just don't see it happening. I do think it's going to make money I'd be shocked if it didn't.
 
I am going to keep this simple, because you are going WAY off track.

DC/WB are playing follow the leader. And if they want to be successful, they have to innovate. Not just copy what works for everyone else...

Make a team movie!
Make it a shared Universe!
Have the leaders fight each other!
Make it Rated R!
Make it a 2 Part Movie!


...that is not what makes a successful movie.

If anything WB/DC are off to a great start with Suicide Squad because they were thinking outside the box with using the bad guys and not just heroes. Did they limit themselves because they didn't go for the R-Rating? Maybe. We will see.

Which is why Deadpool worked & Guardians. It has nothing to do with the rating.

How so? I addressed your incorrect claim that an r rating is because of Deadpool which is what this is originally all about. Then when you were proven wrong you deflected to how else WB is playing follow the leader. If anything you're off track.

God this is so dumb.

-Team movies have been around since X-Men movie wise. Justice League was the original team.
-Literally everyone is trying it now and DC is the most ripe for something like a shared universe so...?
-Batman was supposed to be a post credit scene since Man of Steel but Nolan shut it down. It was always supposed to happen.
-Was Rated R before Deadpool came out.
-How many part 2 movies came out before Avengers?

Wow Avengers was the first to come out with Part 2s. And Deadpool was the first ever rated-R superhero film. Wow I'm learning so much today.

Yea COOL. I guess that's why BvS is PG-13 in theaters and so is all the rest of their movies.

And btw you say Suicide Squad should be rated-R but then contradict yourself by arguing against yourself by giving examples of why those other movies worked saying it has nothing to do with a rating.

Or... a film rated PG-13 has a larger audience demographic than an R-rated film, meaning more potential box office revenue. Is that such a difficult concept for you to understand? Director's Cuts have been the way to show the movie as intended. Theatrical cuts are to maximize viewing audiences and showings.

To other points you've tried to make, Blade (which is also a Marvel property) came out in 1998 and was rated R. Please elaborate on how Deadpool was an original concept.

Avengers Age of Ultron was a standalone sequel. The first part of Marvel's two part movie, Avengers Infinity Wars doesn't hit theatres for another two years, and has already been done before several times (Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Divergent, Twilight), so it's not like they pioneered that concept either.

No dude you got it all wrong. Deadpool was the first ever rated-R movie. Deadpool invented rated-R and everyone else is copying them(even movies that were finished being made before Deadpool came out).

Snyder saw Deadpool and in the week and a half its been out, did reshoots, spent thousands of dollars hiring people to add in a ton of CGI blood, and THEN got it rated by the MPAA. Because that makes total sense.

Doomsday Actor in BATMAN V SUPERMAN Revealed

Robin Atkin Downes works a lot with DC Animation, as the actor’s voice appeared in Batman: Bad Blood, Batman: Arkham Knight, Batman vs Robin, Beware the Batman, All-Star Superman, and Justice League: Doom. He just about plays any character from DC Comics, such as Alfred Pennyworth, Harvey Dent, Deathstroke, and the Court of Owls Grandmaster. His voice can also be heard on a few DC video games as well, including Batman: Arkham Origins and Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.



Batman V Superman: Robin Atkin Downes Confirms Doomsday Performance
 
They just showed a TV spot during the Lakers game and Batman blocks a Superman punch and Superman is shocked...

This movie is going to blow massive dong along with that Doomsday Ninja Turtle, lol.
