If you're still here, then hold on to your butts, folks. This is where we start to get into potential spoilers - it's speculative, but involves rumors and sources and information that many fans will want to avoid, so if you don't want to hear some possible spoilers, now is a good time to stop reading! However, Sean Gerber at Modern Myth Media has suggested the most likely and fascinating explanation for the R-rating. Indeed, it's clear some sequence in Batman v Superman revisit the final battle of Man of Steel, showing Bruce Wayne amid the destruction, so perhaps there too we'll see a more up close and personal portrayal of the death toll - that would certainly help increase our understanding of Batman's rage and fear toward Superman. It's likewise clear the scale of destruction in the climactic battle could exceed that of Man of Steel, and if so then maybe the R-rated version shows more overt examples of the outcome of that destruction, including deaths of large numbers of civilians.

It's obvious Batman is getting pretty brutal with people in the movie, so maybe the Ultimate Edition will show even more of that violence and the bloody aftermath. It seems certain the deciding factor in pushing the film from PG-13 to R territory was violence. The point being, an R-rated version of Batman v Superman didn't arrive at that rating based on sex, nudity, and profanity. Likewise, we are unlikely to hear streams of profanity from the characters in Batman v Superman, at least not enough to warrant an R-rating - and keep in mind, Wolverine has dropped F-bombs in X-Men movies and yet those films managed to receive PG-13 ratings. Unlike Deadpool, it's unlikely Batman v Superman contains any graphic sex sequences and nudity. What scenes, what content, were created that cross that line? The big question, though, is why Batman v Superman would be capable of getting an R-rating in the first place. With Deadpool taking $300+ million on opening weekend worldwide and crossing $500 million after just 14 days of global release, it's reasonable to think Warner saw an advantage in getting an official R-rated version of Batman v Superman to announce.

And the choice to submit the film for that R-rating wasn't made in a vacuum, folks. We've had unrated Blu-ray releases in the past - The Wolverine had a fantastic extended cut that was essentially equivalent to an R-rated version - this is the first time I can recall seeing an actual MPAA rating of R assigned to a mainstream PG-13 superhero movie's extended Blu-ray release. While of course Deadpool isn't the only reason Batman v Superman is getting an actual R-rated cut, it's also impossible to ignore the timing of this news and the certain impact Deadpool is having on studios' perception of what's now possible and even advisable for finding additional avenues to reach viewers with this content.
