This Summer’s biggest anti-hero comic book movie, Suicide Squad, has officially been announced as having a PG-13 (12A in the UK & Ireland) rating.
The announcement brings with it the disappointment of many a DC fan, the majority of whom were expecting Warner Bros to follow Deadpool’s R Rated success ($772million in worldwide box office receipts) with an Über violent movie filled with adult themes.
