Deadpool and Logan have proved that R-Rated superhero movies can work both critically and financially, and fans are now left to wonder which rival studio will now copy 20th Century Fox!

Well, it appears as if Warner Bros. will be among them as The Wrap reports that a "well-placed insider" at Warner Bros.' DC Films division has told them that when it comes to whether or not they'll make an R-Rated superhero movie, their answer is: "One hundred percent yes. With the right character(s)." That's not exactly a guarantee it will happen, of course, but it's easy to imagine a movie like Black Adam or Lobo heading in this direction given what little we know about them right now.

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"?

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.

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

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.

*DestronMirage22* · 03-07-2017, 11:20 PM

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

*Powder* · 03-07-2017, 11:45 PM

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.

*Krutch* · 03-08-2017, 07:29 AM

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!!

*ToTheNines* · 03-08-2017, 08:09 AM

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?
