Seems like Zack Snyder is a man of his word. He indicated a few months ago that his cut of Justice League is going to be rated R due to things like Batman saying the f word and Steppenwolf hacking people to pieces. On Wednesday of this week, it was officially confirmed by the MPAA that the Snyder cut of JL is rated R for violence and some language. Interesting.
On one hand, I'm a little baffled because this is the Justice League we're talking about. The Justice League is known to be suitable for just about everyone. From children to teenagers to adults love the Justice League. Unless I'm missing some versions, they've always been aimed at all audiences. This is kind of shutting out the younger fans who might want to see the film.
Yet, on the other hand, I'm excited because this version of the film will probably take not only the Justice League, but also superhero and comic book films to the next level in terms of not holding back on content and material. Especially since, even though that version was never release into theaters, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Snyder cut was rated R. I could be wrong but I think that Zack Snyder saw how successful Joker became and was inspired to redo JL. Heck, in one of the images for this version, they had Jared Leto back as the Joker but this time, he seemed to look a little similar to Joaquin Phoenix's Joker even though the picture was blurry except for the Joker card he was presenting.
It remains to be seen whether this version of JL will be good. I hope so. But time will tell.
What do you guys think?
