Nah... but that reach is real.
The amount of ignorance is appalling.

As for me, I am curious about it. Could be cool or it could be a whole lot of nothing.

Nah, it's Deadpool man! You don't get it WB has a time machine went into the future and saw Deadpool was a hit so they decided to make an R-rated cut of the movie.

An R-rated home release is what I meant.
But imo Suicide Squad should've been r-rated from the get go.

Interested in this because I enjoyed Watchmen's director cut a degree more than the movie, so I hope there will be the same effect for this.
Curious what prompted the R rating, I'm guessing something involving Doomsday or the Knightmare sequence.

Because MovieBob is my go-to critic for-hahahahahhaaaaaa
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that Death of Superman wasn't an awful comic.
I'm not sure what your point is here. ASS is a great book and story. Death of is not. But it hardly fails any 'point of superman' metric. It's just very basic, unfortunately.
We've already had some R rated DC films.
Wasn't Constantine more Vertigo at that time?
No, I'm not saying that the film itself is reactionary, rather I'm insinuating that Warner deliberately leaked this info to the press after the news of Deadpools success. I mean I know techinically it's from MPAA, but I'm guessing someone at Warner just pointed news sites to it.
That would kind of makes sense. This really doesn't.
Then again, Snyder added unnecessary gratuitous violence to some fights in Watchmen.
DoS was OK until the part where Superman "dies" which is like the first 1/4th of the comic. Everything after that was garbage.
I don't get it, he can just watch the pg-13 cut and ignore this cut, if it offends him so much.
hate this overreacting culture that goes on social networks.
so we conspiracy theorists now?
Ah I get you.

BVS will outsell Deadpool by such a massive amount. Why the hell would Warner give a shit about Deadpool exactly? Unless you are being sarcastic.

Because it opened to 150 mil and is over performing like a motherfucker
They care. It's going to outperform almost all of their movies from the last two years.

Yeah that's the part I meant.My mind blacked out on the return of Superman and the machine guns and all of that. For some reason I thought that came a couple of months after The Death.
This is a Bluray Special Edition that's coming alongside with the normal PG13 cut serving a very small market....

I said they care. That's mostly in general terms.
This is just Snyder doing what he normally does

Why would they care when even a shitty scoring BVS will decimate it? They may care ...but not for this property.

Because it is going to outgross all of their other movies including a Rated R Mad Max reboot.
BVS will be a hit. They desperately need more. So they've definitely got an eye on Deadpool. That's just in general, though.

Never underestimate the popularity of Batman. Say what you will about the Dark Knight Trilogy, it made fucktons of money. Batman is easily the most popular superhero.
#teamcap tho
I don't think this has anything to do with Deadpool, but why are you making this assumption at this point?
Man of Steel made $291 million in the US and $668 million worldwide. The opening weekend gross was $116 million.
Deadpool has made $241 million in the US to date and is on track to do well over $300 million. It's at $497 million worldwide now and is on track to do well over $600 million worldwide, maybe over $700 million. The opening weekend gross was $152 million (4-day) or $132 million (3-day) depending on which one you want to take.
Deadpool is a movie that outperformed Man of Steel. So I'm not sure if we can really confidently say that BvS will outperform it by a "massive" amount. At this point, all bets are off.

So much ignorance here. This isn't a reaction to deadpool guys.

The Death of Jason Todd would probably be R-rated. What if that's in the movie
Tell that movie bob or whatever LOL... he's convinced all the little kids can't watch Superman anymore.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I blame Deadpool.
Am I doing it right?
I don't think some people even care at this point. They want their narrative. It's hard as well to determine who are trying to be funny about this as well.

Just a clarification on All Star Superman...
He didn't die. He went on to be the golden superman you see in the earlier stories when Pa died, he was wrapped in Bandages, also used in DC One Million.
I completely agree. Let's also not forget that Deadpool is going to outperform half of the Marvel movies domestically. Really, all bets are off.

What if DC ripped off Deadpool and filmed last-minute scenes with Deathstroke

Yeah, even The Avengers almost got an r-rating til they toned Agent Coulson's death scene. It's not like they are really going out of their way to make an R-rated film like how Deadpool did, it just happens and edits come into play as needed.

I can kind of see the point he wants to make but he has a shitty way of framing it.
DC noted awhile back that they were worried about the movie awhile ago. Also keep in mind that "superhero fatigue" is also a worry now. In 2008, you could no doubt sell a movie on Batman's name alone, but it's 2016 and Marvel's putting out a minimum of two movies a year so just having a comic book basis alone won't necessarily put butts in seats.
