That depends on the person viewing it. It's a PG-13 movie - if you choose to go see it, you may be expecting violence and you probably know who the characters are. But this is A POSTER, visible to everybody, including children, or people who do not care to watch violence, especially against women. For a 6-year-old this is pretty extreme violence. Especially, if the child has experienced domestic violence.

Who cares about the film? Nobody's criticizing the film (well - it has rating of 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, but that's to be expected - it's another sh*tty comic book cash-in). But the promotional material shouldn't include controversial images and slogans. Why is this so difficult to understand? This is NOT political speech - it's just some corporation, trying to make money.
