I... don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, that R-rating is going to allow this movie much more freedom to do stuff than a PG rating, plus any vigilante-oriented superhero will always benefit from an R-rating simply due to their more criminal/grounded approach.
That said, I don't want DC to use the R-rating as a crutch... and I kinda get the feeling that that's exactly what they're doing here. Making a movie rate R is no substitute for a good storyline and script and is not a guarantee for success. I'm just afraid they might get lazy and depend too much on that R rating.

If true:  . In my book the best CMBs are still the R-rated ones followed by semi-R rated ones like Nolan/Burton Bats, WW or some X-Men. |

I don't care about ratings by themselves, just what suits what material. I've never read Birds of Prey, so I don't know. Gotham City Sirens sounds more R rating material. Unless it's like Jessica Jones, which would probably be R if it were a movie. Especially if they keep Oracle's past the same.

LOL, Wonder Woman semi-rated R??? well it showed the horrors of war by the protagonist failing to rescue an entire village killed by gas, bleak WWI trench warfare and misery, the male protagonist and love interest dying, or the female protagonist slaying a mortal man with her sword. So that level of matureness warrants a semi-R in my book, not graphic or explicit, but when watching with children you must explain what happened as it may disturb them. |

Eh, I label Wonder Woman as fully PG-13. It wasn't even bloody enough to be semi-R. |

Okay. You know you don't get an R-rating for the amount of "maturity" in the movie. The ratings is for how explicit the movie is. The gassing of the town only showed smoke everywhere with a couple bodies on the ground. The trench scene was really tame. A main character dying doesn't warrant an R rating... Especially when they can recon it to have him having jumped out. And the sub boss villain's death was bloodless. And he was hyped up on a "super man" drug. Hardly a normal person.

yeah, as interesting as it is redundant. You know what "semi" means right? And your realize I made "semi-R" up as category, right? So why do you apply official R criteria to my new category? Non sequiture.
For transparency, I provide you with an excerpt of the official semi-R criteria handbook:
My personal tip: Semi-R is the perfect category of film you can take a grown woman to and still have a chance to not be considered a manchild but sexually attractive. Hope that helps, pal. Cheerio.

I know Poe's law, but you could have easily noticed the sarcastic nature by basic context reading, eg with me explicitly claiming this as being "my" and "my made up" category, also it seems rather unlikely that a handbook text defining a category will refer to animal excrement.
But maybe you, by the skin of your teeth, did not really mean "lying through your teeth" but rather me being "tongue in cheek"? It's close enough anatomically speaking.

Semi-R category? What in the hell...
The funny thing is that you would make up something like semi-R then list things that happen in that movie that would be in a regular pg-13 movie then call someone a manchild. The irony.

If that was your intention, you’re utterly terrible at it. |

This is what Semi R Rating looks like
X2 got a pg 13. hard pg 13. Birds of Prey can fall under the lines of X2 or TDK as hard pg 13.

The Wolverine breakout-scene in Apocalypse was a lot more in semi-R territory than this, also the epic warehouse fight in BvS probably the best street fight scene in CMBs forever. |

Honestly I don't remember much of apocalypse i saw the film once and disliked it. I have seen X2 and DOFP multiple times so I know when they were trying not to push it over the edge to r rating. this is another example of DOFP controlling itself not to go R |

LOL....Men....just watching X2 and DOFP not even Logan or Deadpool that are R. I am going to laugh at those disney kiddie xmen movies soon. hopefully fox sells to comcast in the end.
