I'm watching TV right now and they're advertising some Dark Knight related toys. That's a little unsettling to me given that The Dark Knight was rated R and clearly not a movie for children, yet they're market ting it like a PG-13 action movie.

Anyway, the toy is basically this Batman mask/cape ensemble where the wings on the cape extend outward. Okay, that's fine.

And it comes with a nerf gun.

Batman doesn't use guns!

Craig, what's that Frank Miller thingey where Batman says something funny about not using guns?

Um, The Dark Knight WAS a PG-13 action movie, even if it's skirting an R rating at various points.

It's still pretty unsettling, though, given how violent the movie was.

I has a Batman action figure with a missile launcher.

Movie!Batman has never hated guns, so I can deal with it. Infact Keaton shot at Joker in the middle of street from his jet.

I can't find the panel you refer to, but fortunately, I can do one better. A parody advertizement for Batman toys.

It pokes fun at the exact thing you complain about.

So I still saved the thread?

If The Dark Knight was in fact rated PG-13 and not R, the error is with the MPAA, not me.

But you didn't do the research, though, Srol.

... I read it again and again and I keep coming to the same conclusion: You didn't do the research.

Or maybe I'm missing or misinterpreting something. Though it's unlikely you'll comply as asked, I'll ask: "Why don't you explain for me?"

Confusing thread is confusing.
