DC Films willing to make a Rated R superhero movie

I'd be excited if not for the fact that their own film universe is a complete mess at the moment.

And whatever happen to the plan of making their films "lighter"? :roll:

DC/WB does nothing but follow the money. Of COURSE they're willing to make an R-rated superhero movie.

The only thing DC/WB ISN'T willing to do is to make a plan and stick with it.

To me you either go light or you go batshit heavy

No I between

Except DC has more dirt and snot all over its messy little face.

And is wearing hotpants.

Warner Bros' Little Monster

Ugh...the crap that passes as news these days. ****ing clickbait nonsense. It's almost like WB didn't release an R-rated version of a DC movie last year.

What's with the obsession with R-rated superhero movies these days?

You mean aside from the fact of how successful Deadpool and Logan have proven to been? It's no wonder WB wants to jump on the bandwagon given the failure the DCEU has been so far.

First their efforts were pathetic. Then they were sad. Then pathetic again. And now we're back to sad.

Should've started with Suicide Squad.

It's also a far more limited audience. On top of that, allegedly, an R-rating was needed to do the characters justice. (Although I haven't seen Logan yet, I'd argue that The Wolverine disproves that, but your mileage may vary.

Ugh, God DC, stop embarrassing yourselves.

6 days after Deadpool's success: Wait for the Rated R Blu-Ray of Batman v Superman!!

6 days after Logan's success: We're totally game to make an R rated movie!!

That's their problem. They are totally afraid to take chances.

Between 1998 and 2007, Marvel (through various studios) made a lot of movies. Some sucked, some haven't aged well, but they took the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. What'd DC/WB make in that time period? One wretched Superman quasi-sequel and various Batstuff. And fuc*ing Catwoman.

Then the MCU happens. What does DC/WB do? Straight to a Justice League movie that dies in development hell, before their current Bat-trilogy is even over. False start on a shared universe with Green Lantern. Tepid start of a new shared universe with a mediocre Superman movie. It doesn't do gangbusters, so bring in Batman. Again.

How come Fox is Marvel when it suits people and it isn't when it doesn't?

Obsession? There is only 3

Ask DC/WB?

Yeah, huh? There's been like 2.

3 if we include Watchmen.

4 including Kick ass 2

And Kick-Ass 1... and the Blade trilogy, and the original Daredevil...

I tend to give it to Kick-Ass as the movie that kicked in the door on "modern," hard R-rated comic book movies. Watchmen didn't quite light the world on fire like Kick-Ass did. I don't know if even Deadpool would have happened had there not been an example like Kick-Ass to point to in terms of, "See? This sort of thing can work."

If by "kicked" as in they were made and people didn't see it, sure

Wait....Daredevil? We talking the Director's Cut?

Original Daredevil was totally not R.

My bad, I didn't remember... I only ever saw the Director's Cut. Forgot theatrical was PG13.

And director/ultimate cuts don't count.

Wait, so Ben Affleck has starred as the lead role in two bad PG-13 movies that later got R-rated cuts? Huh.

:tlol:

Never thought of it that way.

There's 3 Punisher movies, my memory is iffy if the second movie with Tom Jane is R rated. There's the 3 Blade movies, Kick-Ass 1 & 2, and Super. Deadpool, Watchmen, Darkman trilogy, The Toxic Avenger quadrilogy, I think Black Scorpion 1 & 2 are R rated, there's the Guyver movies.

Man-Thing may not be as superhero movie, but he is a superhero property and got a R rated movie. I haven't seen Wanted, but as far as I know they removed all the superhero and supervillain stuff, so I guess that one doesn't count. :lol:

The Killing Joke is R rated, isn't it?

Thomas Jane Punisher was PG13.

right, could have googled it before making my post, but where's the fun in that.

It was R... but suspiciously light R. Super light R. Like they totally shot it as PG-13, got an R from the MPAA, and just sort of shrugged.

We're tired of pussies that can't handle R rating that's what.

Huh. I was 13 when it came out and vividly remember telling my Dad it was PG-13. I guess I was lying to him so he'd take me lol.

And yeah, I think there might have been some tits in a brief scene, but literally nothing else about it deserves an R rating.

Don't we see The Russian's neck all twisted post-battle? maybe that gave it a R, or a cuss word too many :lol:

I hope the PG-13 "Ghost in the Shell" crashes and burns spectacularly. That movie has no business sanitizing itself for 13 year-olds.

I'd say it will probably do as well as "Lucy", or slightly better because Manga. Or slightly worse because Manga...

what? Ghost in the Shell is PG-13 ???? .......crap!!! :tgrumble:

they really are quite clueless as to WHAT they want to do!

it's like watching a dog chase it's own tail.
