Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder has revealed that the R-rated version he’ll be releasing on DVD/Blu-ray will include an extra 30 minutes of footage.

Zack Snyder is known for releasing some excellent extended editions on his DVD/Blu-ray releases, and now he’s confirmed that the R-rated version of the film will feature an additional half hour of footage, but it might not be what fans had in mind.

While speaking with THR, Snyder talks about the additional material that will be used in the extended edition, and it seems the footage was always shot, and that the MPAA simply decided the extra footage made the film R-rated.

“[The DVD version] is a half-hour longer, and some of that additional material is some of the stuff we took out for the rating. I was like, ‘Cool, I can put it back in for the director’s cut.’ There was nothing by design. This was the material I just put back in, and then when [the MPAA] looked at it again, they were like, ‘Oh, now the movie’s rated R.’ And, by the way, it’s not a hard R. There’s no nudity. There’s a little bit of violence. It just tips the scale.”

When Snyder was asked if he was concerned about Batman v Superman looking “too serious,” he spoke about the Dark Knight trilogy’s ability to toe the line of serious superheros and villains.

“I would go back to the Dark Knight argument and say, ‘Is that a bad thing? What does that mean?; By the way, the most serious movies I’ve made in the past always have irony in them. I just gave it the weight that it deserves as far as the mythological conformation. But it’s still a guy in a red and blue suit fighting a guy in a black suit. I mean, they’re in costumes. The movie is fun, and Batman fights Superman. If you can’t have fun there, then something’s kind of wrong with you.”

It’s a bit surprising to hear so much about an R-rated cut of a PG-13 film that’s yet to hit theaters, especially one that has so much riding on its success, but Zack Snyder’s director’s cut of his previous comic adaptation, Watchmen, felt like an entirely new film and gained a much larger home audience.

The R-rated cut of Batman v Superman seems like it isn’t R-rated for the sake of pushing the envelope, but simply Snyder’s view of what the film could have originally been before cutting the film down to PG-13.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters on March 25, 2016.
