February 23, 2016: R-Rated Ultimate Edition of "Batman v Superman" on Blu-ray

Batman v Superman The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has issued a bulletin listing the ratings for upcoming Blu-ray releases, and an R-rated version of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is listed to be released as an "Ultimate Edition" by Warner Home Entertainment.

While Snyder never released an extended version of "Man of Steel", he did release a Director's Cut of "Watchmen" a few years ago. So, while "Batman v Superman" will be released to theaters as a PG-13 film, Snyder is planning an R-rated version to also be released on Blu-ray.

The R-rating for the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Ultimate Edition is due to "sequences of violence" and is noted as being an "Edited Version" with different content from the PG-13 version.

To be clear, an R-rating in the USA is the next step up from a PG-13 rating, and is listed as "RESTRICTED - Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian".
