Snyder's Justice League May be Rated R Because Batman Curses
A lot of violence and a lot of vulgarisms, among other things, can be expected from the director's cut version of Justice League. Zack Snyder is therefore almost certain that the film will be rated R.
Zack Snyder is confident that Justice League will rated R (restricted), which, by definition, defines productions for adults only (people under 17 years of age can only enter a theater with an adult supervisor). The creator justified his predictions in an interview for Entertainment Weekly. He mentioned, among other things, that Batman will curse:
"Here's one piece of information nobody knows: The movie is insane and so epic and is probably rated R — that's one thing I think will happen, that it will be an R-rated version, for sure. We haven't heard from the MPAA, but that's my gut.
There's one scene where Batman drops an F-bomb. Cyborg is not too happy with what's going on with his life before he meets the Justice League, and he tends to speak his mind. And Steppenwolf is pretty much just hacking people in half. So [the rating would be due to] violence and profanity, probably both."
We're not surprised by this turn of events, because Snyder Cut was advertised as a much darker and egier film than the 2017 version of Justice League. How will we feel about the different stylistic and story differences? We will find out about this in 2021 on HBO Max. That's when four episodes of the extended Justice League will be released .
