I was impressed - but who exactly is the audience they want?

I enjoyed the movie, it was near enough wall to wall action, and it didn't outstay its welcome with the short running time. The dialogue had some great flashes of humour (Denzel!).
However, I don't really understand who they're targeting for it - it sure as hell isn't kids familiar with the Young Justices and Batman cartoons of today, with the upscale in blood, gore and sexuality.
Then again by dancing around nudity, going halfway with the language - Waller's motherf- at the end, but b-tch and a few other milder ones are let through - it looks like they wanted to commit to an adults only audience but chickened out at the end.
I've read other threads and I have to agree, if you want nudity, then go the whole way. I suppose it's almost a nod to the comic books themselves, where convenient arms, smoke, objects etc cover nipples and anything else, but for an animated movie that also has the ridiculous form-fitting outfits on the girls and has them strip gratuitously anyway, why bother covering it? Does cartoon T&A get you an R rating?
Given the audience they seem to want - does having an R rating matter?
The blood and gore was actually the best thing about it - too often do we see hailstorms of bullets and not a scratch on anyone, and villains not being allowed to die because they have to be taken in by Batman. Now if only they could get the whole - key characters can only be shot in the shoulder or arm and will immediately be able to shake it off and continue on - thing sorted out.
