That's the only thing I can think of. And it would suck if that scene is in the DVD version but not in the theatrical version. I would take implied violence in this case (off screen brutality like in the comics).
Maybe the Knightmare scenes too.

Imagine a PG-13 cut of Fury, disco
MPAA policies explicitly forbid that.

The "Hollywood learns the wrong lessons" stuff is just a running gag I'm not in on, right guys? Y'all don't really think they threw together an R-rated cut and got it rated since Deadpool released... right?
Right?
Right?
Even though it's not the Deadpool effect
Finally, a batman i can relate to.
Is this going to be the opposite of where TV versions have swear words overdubbed with stuff like 'melon farmer'? The BvS home release will have 'shit', 'fuck', bellends', 'cunt' etc liberally overdubbed during otherwise PG13 dialogue.
You're giving this forum way more credit than it deserves.
This was actually teased in the trailer.

Both DC and Marvel's mainline superhero comics have been depicting what would be r-rated content for some time now. It's why DC, for example, has an entirely different line of comics with their superheroes specifically aimed for kids.

If they are doing Jason Todd i doubt they would cut it for the original release. but could see them using an Alternate version like the comic where you only see the crowbar and shadows. then extended cut you see more.
It would of been a late decision to film that since they didnt have Letto until a month or two before Suicide Squad filmed. Unless they had a stand in for the Joker and then Filmed a new version for a directors cut when doing Suicide Squad.

Dredd 2 or it's all for nothing.
Unless they're shoehorning some R rated content in, I can't say I mind this move even if it is a result of Deadpool's success.
I hope so, but I have a feeling they're serious.

Hasn't this movie been in post production for like a year?

It might be because Justice League starts to film early April so Snyder wont have time to make a new cut then. and there might be a gap in pre-production with all the press tours for the BvS cast.

Batman and Superman fight to a draw, so they have a literal dick measuring contest at the climax of the film.
Not in this case. Not even close. I really hope people don't really think this with films coming out this year. Save that for films coming next year. This film has been done for a long time. Long before Deadpool even came out. I think all of Snyder's films have gotten either uncut or extended editions save Man of Steel. There was word that there was a 4 hour cut of this film before they cut it down.
I imagine Wonder Woman is cutting off some limbs in this. We already see what Batman can do. I imagine more broken bones in this version. Maybe Superman's fight with
Doomsday
Edit: Also Suicide Squad was already in post-production before Deadpool came out as well. Just in case someone tries to say that's learning the wrong lesson or copying Deadpool if it's extended cut is revealed.

Of all the things said in this thread, I cannot believe people are crediting a film that's been released for under two weeks, for the bearing of a film that has been in production for years.
Besides, it won't be rated for the same reasons. Being the same rating doesn't mean it'll have heads rolling off and a tit joke. Itnwint be ultr bviolent, but I guess the violence will be hard hitting and bloody. The main reason shaky cam and quick cuts even exist is to avoid showing violence, thus making it a lower rating with similar content.
It could just be that the scenes have more clarity, not that it's grotesque.

Yeah this is what I'm expecting but IIRC Leto was spotted on set during the reshoots for a bit.
If that was the case the theatrical cut would've been changed to an R-rated cut.

SS should've been R-rated in the first place
The extra violence could be something as tame as showing someone impaled (which is what Avengers had to cut to get the PG-13 rating).

I think there were rumors about shooting a Jason Todd scene but was never said if it was going to be for BvS or Suicide Squad.
Fuck i wish WB had the balls to let Suicide Squad be a R rated movie from the start,

Movies are re-sent to the MPAA multiple times to get re-rated and re-edited to get the required rating. Since this is the director's cut, it would imply the previous cut sent to the MPAA was too much for a PG-13 rating and they toned down the violence just enough.
Deadpool didn't magically make a movie finished and releasing next month have reshoots.
Yeah. A lot of people are missing this great example. Warner Bros. had released The Battle of Five Armies extended and left it r-rated; remember the PG-13 version was edited down from longer cuts.
What Deadpool sounds like it did at best was galvanize that they no longer have qualms with releasing the r-rated cut instead of never seeing that version ever. Besides it's for violence, have enough sustained violence and you can get an r-rating, just look at Jackie Chan's The Legend of Drunken Master, that screamed PG-13 and the MPAA gave it a R-rating.
