‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ Gets PG-13 Rating
Pretty much every mainstream superhero movie that comes out these days is rated PG-13, so it should come as no surprise thatZack Snyder’sBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicehas been rated PG-13 as well. The only part of that announcement that should raise an eyebrow is the MPAA’s reasoning. Find out more about theBatman v SupermanPG-13 rating after the jump.
According toBox Office Mojo,Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicehas been rated PG-13 for “intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality.” The first two items aren’t really surprising — it’s a superhero movie, of course there will be violence and action throughout — but the third is kind of curious.
It’s not really clear what the MPAA considers “some sensuality.” For comparison, though,The Dark Knight Risesreceived a very similar designation (“rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language”), and that involved hot-and-heavy kissing followed by some implied boning.
The other question it raises is who’s hooking up with whom inBatman v Superman. Superman and Lois Lane are an obvious guess, since they’re already established as having a romantic relationship. Or do Batman and/or Wonder Woman get love interests in the film? For all we know, maybe Bats and Supes decide to settle their differences with a night of passion. Nowthatwould be a plot twist.
