There was also a minor controversy over The Dark Knight being too scary for kids, but I wonder why Batman vs Superman (and suicide squad for that matter) eluded controversy. Those films scared and scarred audiences of all ages, not just kids. That’s why

I wonder if by the time of BvS and Suicide Squad, there was a general idea of what to expect from superhero movies thanks to all the Marvel movies?

In regards to the Terminator 3 side path we're going on, I genuinely prefer 3 to 2.
In regards to these idiot parents, if you don't pay attention to the age ratings, you have no right to complain about it not being suitable for your kid.

Yeah, my parents were young and cool. Plus, I was a smart kid. I saw Batman when I was 6 at the drive-in. Saw Returns when I was 9 in theaters. Had absolutely no problem with either of them. I watched Robocop, Predator, Commando, Rambo, etc. with my dad all the time.
I don't know, I just got that everything was fake, and it had no effect on me. Like others have said, my parents were more concerned with my education and health. I may have picked up the swear words from those movies though. lol

I have been harping on this point for years basically since I heard Eminem make it in a song in like 2000.
Parents are responsible for what their kids consume, not the people who make that stuff
It's the same nonsense around GTA
These parents so appalled that their kids have seen something they shouldn't have...
...that is aimed at and marketed to people twice their age, that they cannot legally buy without parental assistance.
Like, imagine 'I think cars should be banned because my 8 year old crashed my car into a pedestrian.' I think maybe that's your fault, not cars.
These days I understand this kind of argument more because I don't know how you keep a kid from seeing shit they shouldn't in the internet age, and that is one of many reasons why I have cats not kids.

Batman Returns doesn't actually have a plot does it? It's, to quote Homer, just a bunch of stuff that happens

It really does just meander unhurriedly along to the overall goal of putting Batman, Catwoman, Penguin, and Schreck in the same room, with no real care given to the how, when, or why. It's the most Tim Burton of Tim Burton movies.

Movie is rated for children 13 and older. Don't take your children under 13 to see it. Seems simple enough. Even simpler is to blame someone else for your failure as a parent. But...but...how are we supposed to just leave them in front of the tv when they could witness a deformed penguin looking mofo bite some dudes nose off??? Obviously Snyder is still to blame here. It’s the only explanation.

It's the most Tim Burton of Tim Burton movies. and Batman is pretty absent for big chunks of the Batman movie Also while I do agree the parents need to take responsibility for what their children consume... Batman Returns WAS at least partially marketed towards children. Again it had Happy Meal toys... most kids I see eating happy meals are well below 13.

Shreck wants a pliable mayor to approve his "power plant". Selina Kyle wants revenge on Shreck. Batman wants to defeat the Penguin and figure out Selina who has the same issues of duality he deals with. Fat Clown henchman doesn't want to kill kids.

Yeah we all came out of Terminator 2 fine. Terminator 3, that's a different story that we don't talk about. Terminator 3 raped my childhood even before Michael Bay did. It's funny how some people still act like Michael Bay is the anti-Christ of film-making when he had quite a filmography well before Transformers. Not saying that his movies pre-Transformers were great, as I do like the two Bad Boys movies he did, as well as The Rock and I didn't mind The Island. Part of me kind of wants to re-watch Armageddon, as well as finally watch Pearl Harbor, even though I heard some negative things about it, then I enjoy watching bad movies sometimes. But when Transformers came out, everyone is all like "Michael Bay raped my childhood!" and all that. The movie having McDonald toys didn't help the controversy I remember that. I will say that I remember seeing Batman Returns in theaters and had watched the 1989 Batman movie multiple times and I was little at the time. Granted, both movies had scenes that caused me to either cover my eyes, turn away, or even leave the room when they came on. For example, I remember feeling uncomfortable about Penguin biting that guy's nose or even the pen scene from the first Batman movie (Ever since I saw Casino, the pen scene in Batman looked tame in comparison). Aside from some of those sequences, I wasn't that affected by those films. Yes, I got more comfortable watching those scenes as I got older, but I didn't get nightmares or anything.

I saw Pearl Harbor on a first date in High School. And it was a big deal, like the movie theater was all done up Hawaiian style, there were news crews there interviewing WW II vets, etc. And honestly, I never got the hate for it. The attack on Pearl Harbor is pretty damn impressive and visually spectacular. And people give it a hard time because there's a love triangle story during a tragedy. Well, guess what? So did Titanic.

Some clunky dialogue aside, Pearl Harbor is a good movie.

I'm with the parents on this. The movie was marketed to kids, complete with Happy Meals. This film contains dialogue about "filling her void" and "unlimited poontang". I'm not uptight, but that's problematic to say the least. It almost felt as if Warner sold the movie without watching it first. There s nothing in it for kids outside of the 7 minutes of Batman in costume.
My opinion on mainstream superhero movies is that they should always be accessible to their original audience. You can go dark on niche streaming stuff nowadays, but a big studio production like Batman should be accessible to kids. Not geared at kids, but just not so f***ing dark, vulgar, and uneventful. Batman and Batman Forever got this. Batman Returns and Batman & Robin were far too horny to be marketed to kids.

Deadpool was never a kids character. From his inception, he was always too gruesome for kids. It's why he never appeared in any X-Men cartoons. Characters like Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, they've always been kids characters who also happen to appeal to adults. Like I said, I'm not uptight, I just think that a big summer movie with a kids character shouldn't be sexual, depressive, or gory. Deadpool? Go nuts. But don't sell him to kids.
