Batman is one of the most ubiquitous superheroes in cinema, but from Tim Burton’s Batmanin 1989 to Matt Reeves’ The Batman in 2022, his films are almost always PG-13. Batman doesn’t kill, and when his villains do, the gore has been minimized to keep stories of the Dark Knight from getting too dark. But a new trilogy coming soon is changing that, earning an R rating with some really messy deaths.
