Interestingly, Matt Reeves’ The Batman isn’t the first ‘Dark Knight’ film to receive a PG-13 rating. It shares a similar MPAA rating to many earlier films on the superhero – right from 1989. Don’t believe us? Well, Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman and 1992 Batman Returns, both movies released with a PG-13 rating. The same was true for Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997).

But it doesn’t stop there. Christopher Nolan’s much darker depiction of the Caped Crusader – Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012), all received the same PG-13 rating.
