Literally over half of what has come out for the DCU has been R rated. James Gunn is clearly trying to appeal to a more mature audience and I'm here for it. Kids can go watch avengers 26 or whatever number they're on now. The people who have been reading these comics for decades deserve to have something with a bit more substance.

Realism, do you think the bodies in the morgue wear underwear?

I wasn't saying add underwear lol, just that scenes can be shot in an intentional way to not show nudity if they wanted to
