I've got the Blu-Ray of this movie for Christmas. We discovered that it is rated R. We were expecting PG-13. So, what's the difference, in terms of content, between the R rated version of Batman v. Superman compared to the PG-13 version?

Some blood spurts, one usage of the F word, partial nudity (Affleck shows his behind), and some extended violent sequences (which are quite brief).
It's really not that bad to be honest. It's only half a step above the actual PG-13 version in terms of quantity of the violence.

Well, this is the same MPAA that almost gave Avengers an R cause Agent Coulson got stabbed, so it fits the bill that they'd be equally upset watching Superman get impaled + the added CG blood spurts.

More violence and I think some swearing. What really stands out is the extended footage of the characters, like Lois investigating further into the bombing at congress, which actually fills some plot holes that I'm amazed were left in the theatrical version.

If Doc and Odum haven't already said it (I have them both on ignore), you should also have the PG-13 version if you have the Blu-Ray, so if the content is a real concern for you, you could just watch that.
If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions. -

No problem. As far as I'm aware, the Blu-Ray release has both cuts on separate discs, and a DVD version of the PG-13 cut. So you should be covered.

This is a very soft R. I am from the UK and here both versions of BvS got a 15 certificate. Minor swearing a few very tame blood splats a stabbing though the shoulder (which is now really explicit) and you see a bit more of an impaling. Sorry trying to describe it without spoiling the film for you. I would say that if you are worried about showing it to anything but the most youngest of children then I would not be.
