DC Films Reportedly Open To Making An R-Rated Superhero Movie Following LOGAN And DEADPOOL Success

Deadpool and Logan have proved that R-Rated superhero movies can work both critically and financially, and fans are now left to wonder which rival studio will now copy 20th Century Fox! 

Well, it appears as if Warner Bros. will be among them as The Wrap reports that a "well-placed insider" at Warner Bros.' DC Films division has told them that when it comes to whether or not they'll make an R-Rated superhero movie, their answer is: "One hundred percent yes. With the right character(s)." That's not exactly a guarantee it will happen, of course, but it's easy to imagine a movie like Black Adam or Lobo heading in this direction given what little we know about them right now. 

An R-Rated version of The Batman would be no bad thing, but given that nothing has been confirmed and the hit and miss nature of the source, it's probably best to take this with a pinch of salt for the time being. It leaves us with food for thought, though, so let us know your thoughts down below.
