“The Batman” might follow in the footsteps of the billion-dollar-grossing “Joker,” co-writer and director Matt Reeves contends the film was always intended to be rated PG-13.All throughout production, it seemed, the internet was abuzz with the possibility that we might be getting our first R-rated live-action Batman film in “The Batman.” Warner Bros.
