Zero chance. Zero. Don't get me wrong, The MPAA will give it an R rating after screening it. But the WB will pay them a shit ton of money and agree to take out one close up shot of side-boob and then it'll get that PG-13 that WB needs.

You're probably right, but I'm still holding out long-shot hope. Maybe an unrated cut on Blu-ray, if nothing else. I just can't imagine Ayer operating in a PG-13 environment.

I don't care that DC is going for a darker more adult aesthetic but it kind of suck if you have kids. I'm going to have to say no to this one if my oldest asks.

Really? Even though it's PG-13?

Well he's 8 so I decide on a movie by movie basis. Some PG-13 I allow some I don't. A lot of it is tone. Both my kids, the four year old especially, is obsessed with old Godzilla movies. I let them watch those but not the new one. Even TV I let the 8 year old watch the Flash but not Arrow. I'm concerned with how they plan on showing how bad these guys are the Joker in particular. I have a feeling they are going to push the Joker stuff as far as they can.

Man, I would let my kids watch fucking everything.

Well, almost.

Dont worry, your kids will hate most of the movies you make them watch anyway

My wife doesn't let her 16 year old watch Game of Thrones (with us, he can watch it on his own) because she thinks it would be awkward with all of the n*dity scenes.

That makes sense. I thought your oldest was in 11 for some reason. It's hard for me to say what I'd do as a parent. On the one hand I think it's fine as long as adults watch with them and help answer any questions or explain that it's fake or to teach them how to think about the images they're seeing.

But I also see the other side of the argument as well. Do you let your oldest read the comics?

That's hilarious. I'd probably do the same thing.

See, I want to avoid this kind of stuff if I have a kid. My parents gave me a bunch stupid hang-ups about sex because of their very American, conservative attitude towards sexuality, which extended to sexual content in movies and TV. I would go out of my way not to make them feel like there's anything weird about or wrong with sexuality. It might make ME uncomfortable to watch things around them, but I would never want to put that on THEM.

I read Ruddo's post as it was weird for her so that's why she didn't let him watch with them.

That is her view, but I think it is because he's a boy. She pretty much raised him alone until I came along, I think it is just the birds/bees awkwardness. But I take him to see all the R-rated stuff that she won't go see.

And yes, joey hit it right on. She doesn't mind him watching that stuff, she just thinks it is awkward to watch with him.

...Yeah, so did I.

A lot of it is I know what my wife would be OK with him seeing and I make choices based on how much trouble I'd get in. Surprisingly he hasn't shown much interest in comics and I haven't pushed them. If he did I'd let him read the ones that are spin offs from the cartoon series he watches.

I guess what I mean is I'd rather endure the awkwardness I would feel than communicate the awkwardness to them by saying they can watch it, but not with me. I feel like even that sends a weird message. But I totally get why someone would do it. I'm just a bit sensitive to this stuff because of all the crap I've had to deal with from my upbringing.

I mean, she doesn't tell him that he can't watch it with her because of that. We just watch when he isn't around. He's pretty much free to watch whatever at this point, she just chooses what she watches with him.
