Ohh. They are definitely violent. The comic book series had a reputation when it came out in the 90s for being one of the most controversial series of all time 'cause of all the violence, blood, guts and nudity in it and it was banned in stores in America but despite that it was still one of the biggest selling comic book series of the 90s and was outselling a number of DC and Marvel's biggest sellers at the time which was very impressive for an adult comic book series. An important thing people are going to have to remember with Razor is while it is a superhero series it is not one that is aimed at children and Razor swears her head off in the comic books and slashes guys heads and penises off, cuts their innards out and baths in people's blood. For those who thought 'The Crow' was dark  'Razor' goes even further and we have never had a comic book movie this graphic before or sexually explicit.  

Why have they taken so long to make movies of adult comic book series? Instead of making comic books that are aimed at children more violent so they can  get an adult audience to watch them they should just make more movies like Razor or let me guess, it is because they have women in leading roles? Once again little Blinky Bill has to have that hill or he'll go cryin' home to his parents. 

Though sexism probably plays some part in this most likely issues are that the kid friendly comics have been around longer meaning they have generational appeal which some of the early rated R comics are only now getting old enough to have, you know Superman has fans alive who read his original comics as they came out, 2nd rated R material historically doesn't make the same money as PG-13, look at all the billion dollar films not a one is rated higher than PG-13, then theres also merch, if the audience is smaller so is the marketplace for merch, and older fans may theoretically be the ones more likely to drop a few hundred a couple of times a year for some big set or expensive replica stuff it's the army of kids who get their parents to drop $2-10 a day on related merch and also gets them to drop a few hundred for B-Days and X-Mas on cheaper but fancy looking toys where the money is.

Also easier to make the kid stuff more adult without breaking limits, sex and violence is ingrained in superhero DNA just as long as they show no nudity or excessive blood you can indulge in those elements to make adults enjoy stuff and it's easy.

Plus as I have mentioned many times their audiences are vastly different in size, you take the best selling harder comics and figure out the regular readership numbers for their lifetime and they at best are on par with low to middling animated kid shows singular first airing in the US, you add in multiple countries showing the shows, them being in syndication globally, on Hulu or Netyflix or now on the DCU, and an animated kids show has far greater penetration than the comics, you then figure in the penetration to the mainstream consciousness for the live action shows and though their comic sales pale in comparison the kid appealing comic characters are far better known, which means far bigger  movie potential.

Also helps that DC & Marvel are owned by major studios meaning they don't need to sell the movie rights, so theres no disputes with the owner of the IP about how to make the movie or how much they want, you know vastly more issues at play than just the lead character doesn't have a penis.
