One of the biggest trailers out of the DC FanDome event is the first look at The Batman, a new Batman adaptation starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. While most superhero movies aim for a PG-13 rating to get the broadest audience possible, we're wondering what The Batman will be rated. If it's as intense as the trailer suggests, it could be headed for Gotham's first R rating.
Like most films, The Batman won't get an official rating from the MPAA until much closer to its release date, which is still more than a year away. It's the vibe of the trailer, though, that has us all wondering: the footage released at the DC FanDome features violent action sequences and a dark, gritty, gloomy mood, suggesting an even darker take than the seminal Dark Knight trilogy.
