'Murica-a-a-a!

The ****? Sounds like some weird fan fiction.

It was horrifying when I watched it the first time over a decade ago because I didn't know what to expect. Watching it for the second time last night I laughed hysterically, but it's still pretty awful. It's better than Batman & Robin though.

Looks like a young Michael McDonald singing while doing cosplay.

Who?

He's got a nice voice.

I guess he could pass for Chris Evans brother.

Just heard the R rating is for the blu ray video release.

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah,

That was so not happening for theatrical.

TDK should've been pushed into R territory.

Some of the implied violence was a little silly in that movie but Jimmy Smits really worked that knee shake good to show he had been shot!

Well, considering Avengers was on the verge of getting an R-Rating due to Coulson's death, I'm not expecting anything "grandiose" from it. Maybe a bit more blood, but that's it IMO. We'll see...

What? I'm sorry, I don't buy that. There are plenty of deaths in PG-13 movies, what was so bad about his death scene that could have possibly came anywhere near to earning that movie an R rating? In my eyes, Avengers is barely PG-13.

It's time for Superhero movies to grow some balls and get their Rambo 4 treatment.

Starting with Wolverine!

Oh wait, we already had Punisher WZ and Dredd, both flops.

Disregard, go back to PG-13.

No wait, Deadpool was just a smash hit!

Lets do this!

I'm guessing it was the scene where he got impaled and the amount of blood was considered excessive. There was probably more than we actually saw on screen, if it's actually true.

I know for sure that the first Raimi Spider-Man movie had to avoid an R by digitally changing Tobey's blood to spit when he got punched by GG.

Don't people want to see Batman literally knock bad guys' teeth out?

Jokes aside, if it's fine for The Animated Series then it should be fine for a live action film.

What? I'm sorry, I don't buy that.

I do. MPAA was f'd up waaay before I've started to collect figures.

Zack does it again

yeah...if someone could toss the nodding Jack Nicholson gif up that'd be great.

So there will be some token brutality thrown into the cartoon mix. He did it in Watchmen as well but at least that was pretending to be an intellectual property. Making this R is clutching at straws IMO. There is absolutely no need to make an R rated superhero movie, unless that's what it's selling itself is from the get go. For christ sake just make a good damn movie and stop with all the marketing ********.

There are lots of comic stories that make sense with an R rating to me. Deadpool, Punisher, Watchmen, Miracleman, lots of stuff from Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, or Warren Ellis would fit there. Some Wolverine stories, some of the Ultimates stuff, etc.

But under no circumstance should a Superman movie be rated R. That is dumb.

He's got a nice voice.

Michael McDonald is the ****. His work with Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers is some of the best music to come out of the '70s.

Next time your directing a Superman movie you can do as you think it should be.
And so far it seems that its Batman doing the hurting.
Blood and broken teeth in Batman? Never heard of that.

I'd love a Miracleman film.

For the most part I agree with that, but this is Zach Snyder's tribute to Dark Knight Returns. If he's trying to match the violence in that story then I can see how this could be rated R, especially with Lois' potty mouth from MoS.

Also, if they made a live action versions of their animated films they'd all be rated R.

Seriously with What you've seen or know from Snyder you think this is a marketing thing?
(Lets Forget that it has been rated r week´s ago and that the extra violence is probably more visible blood, and some teeth flying courtesy of Batman)
The guy always liked graphic violence, i remember ages ago in a french interview for Watchmen that his dream project would be SUPERMAN but his Supes would probably rip off arms hence nobody would let him near the property.
This is like a heavy metal magazine version, thats why i dig it

 

[EVILFACE]

A Miracleman movie. Would love to see that happen. Just not from Marvel Studios.

Kimota......
