Suicide Squad Will Be PG-13

While David Ayer’s Suicide Squad looked darker than your average kitsch crap, when it comes to comic book movies, some hoped it would be even better and come out with an R rating.  The film’s producer Charles Roven has spoken with Collider about the film and talked the rating, confirming the softer angle;

“The intention of the film is definitely to be PG-13… We really want to make these films tonally consistent so that, as I said because this is a shared universe, at least our current thinking—and again, we’re not dealing in absolutes because while this is business it’s also a creative endeavor, so you want to leave yourself open to changing your mind, doing something different, being inspired, that’s the whole process of filmmaking is you have to allow for inspiration as well as having a road map for what you’re gonna do. So our plan right now is to make all these films PG-13. In some cases, you know, right there on the edge of PG-13, but still PG-13.”

However, this may not mean much.  Remember that Tim Burton’s Batman movies got the same rating, and they were totally cool.  We can forgive a comic book movie for having a PG-13 rating as opposed to something like The Expendables or Terminator going down the same route.  Totally different ballgames, much as fanboys would like to accuse this site of hating all PG-13 movies, simply because we didn’t jerk off to some actor they have an unhealthy obsession with.
