With just under six months left untilBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicehits theaters, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), via Box Office Mojo, has issued a PG-13 rating for the highly-anticipatedsuperhero movie. Almost all superhero projects are crafted for PG-13, so the rating itself isn’t surprising. There is a bit of a surprise, though, in the rationale for this rating, with the MPAA revealing the movie features, “intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality.” Does this mean there is romance in the cards for some of these DC Comics characters?
“Some sensuality” is quite broad, of course, and that could be anything from kissing to dancing to actualsex scenesin the bedroom.Henry Cavill’s Clark Kent andAmy Adams' Lois Lane will presumably still be a romantic couple inBatman v Superman, but it’s possible that some of this “sensuality” could come fromBen Affleck’sBatmanandGal Gadot’sWonder Woman. One of the official photos released earlier this year showed both of these characters getting rather close, although no romance between Wonder Woman and any character has been confirmed yet.
Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before. The cast also includesJesse Eisenbergas Lex Luthor,Diane Laneas Martha Kent,Laurence Fishburneas Perry White,Tao Okamotoas Mercy Graves andHolly Hunteras Senator Finch.
While the identities of most characters have been confirmed, there are still a few that fans are wondering about.Scoot McNairy,Callan MulveyandJena Malonecharacters have still not been revealed yet. You may recall thatScoot McNairywas seen wearing green socks in set photos from last year, hinting that his legs will be replaced by CGI elements in the movie.Jena Malonehas been rumored to play Barbara Gordon, but we still haven’t heard anything aboutCallan Mulvey’s role yet.
Hopefully the PG-13 rating that was handed out today means Warner Bros. is getting ready to release the third trailer forBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. A rumor surfaced last month that Warner Bros. is launching a “Superman-only” trailer forBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceduring the series premiere of CBS’Supergirlon Monday, October 26. On that same night, the studio will reportedly debut a “Batman-only” trailer during a new episode of Fox’sGotham. Footage from both of those character trailers will then reportedly be combined into a full-length trailer that will debut in theaters on Thanksgiving weekend, attached to prints of Warner Bros.‘RockyspinoffCreed. Of course, none of this has been confirmed yet, so when do you think we’ll see the next footage fromBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice? Will it be before the end of this year? Or do you think Warner Bros. will wait until the Super Bowl? Let us know what you think, and stay tuned for more details.
