Why Fear the End of the R-Rated Superhero Movie?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the at-least-as-much-as-that-reaper dept.

brumgrunt writes "Last year, Marvel said that R-rated comic book superhero movies weren't in its future plans. Now, in the light of Watchmen's box office performance, Warner Bros is going the same way, meaning high-profile comic book superhero films will be restricted to the PG-13 rating at most. But is this a bad thing, and should we fear the end of the R-rated superhero movie?"

    Nah, but it's politically correct here on /. to blame any big corporation for every plague on Earth (except Apple, who are saints). Following that tactic, I have climbed 3 times in my karma from terrible to excellent in no time (really).
