If you run 'man systemctl' the entries are like 

poweroff
   Shut down and power-off the system. This is mostly equivalent to 
systemctl start poweroff.target --job-mode=replace-irreversibly --no-
block, but also prints a wall message to all users. This command is 
asynchronous; it will return after the power-off operation is enqueued, 
without waiting for it to complete.

This command honors --force and --when= in a similar way as halt.

It's a long man page and a systemctl guru can probably do many strange and 
wonderful things. personally, if 'shutdown -r now' works like it always 
did i'm not going to dig into the plumbing.
