Todd Phillips’ Joker has officially been rated R for reasons that include disturbing behavior, strong violence, and more. When a standalone Joker movie completely disconnected from the established DCEU was initially announced, it was met with a healthy dose of skepticism. The conversation surrounding the film turned in a much more positive direction earlier this year when the first trailer debuted. Evoking Martin Scorsese classics like Taxi Driverand The King of Comedy, Joker looked to be one of the more unique and fascinating comic book movies in recent memory.
One way Joker was planning to stand out from the crowd is by gunning for an R rating. There have been R-rated comic book adaptations in the past, like Deadpool and Logan, but they’re still few and far between as many aim for the more accessible PG-13 classification. Since Joker isn’t part of an overarching shared universe, it didn’t have to worry about meeting any four-quadrant requirements, and now it’s officially confirmed this one is for the adult crowd.
The official Joker site has been updated to mention the film is now rated R by the MPAA. It earned that R rating for strong bloody violence, disturbing behavior, language, and brief sexual images.
