Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be just like the Dark Knight trilogy, as it's been given a PG-13 rating by the Motion Picture Association of America.

Director Zack Snyder's much-anticipated movie - starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman - was handed the age classification due to "its intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality".

Most superhero movies released these days adhere to the PG-13 rating, including Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight films, as do major blockbusters like The Hunger Games and Fast & Furious.

Meanwhile, Snyder recently described Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as a direct follow-up to Man of Steel.

The director has also confirmed, however, that Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader will get more screentime than Henry Cavill's Superman.
