The upcoming film Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice is getting an R-rated Blu-ray release, despite the fact that the theater release will be strictly PG-13. It was confirmed in a bulletin from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) that the film was rated R for sequences of violence, but apparently only in one version that will most likely be for home release. The exact announcement was that the R-rated version was an “EDITED VERSION. CONTENT [in R-version] IS DIFFERENT FROM PG-13 VERSION,” in the official announcement.

Director Zack Snyder has been known in the past for releasing ‘Director’s Cut’ editions of theatrical releases. With the recent massive theatrical success that was Deadpool, it seems as though Warner Bros. have learned that they can release a financially recoupable R-film, even if it is only in the home release.
The PG-13 version of the film will hit theaters on March 26, 2016.
