The Dark Knight Rises MPAA rating is…

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES will be rated PG-13.

While the rating is not very surprising, the specific reasoning is a bit more revealing. An exhibitor website for Warner Bros. recently listed the following information for the new Batman film.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES was pretty much guaranteed to be PG-13 like the prior two films in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy. But, the added mention of sensuality in the rating does raise some questions. Does Catwoman do a lap dance for Bruce Wayne? One could only hope.

With only a couple of months until the film’s release, expect the rating to begin appearing on advertising in the near future.
