What's wrong with World's Finest?
Dark Knight Returns depicts Superman as a tool.

They announced this movie by quoting that comic.

Batman generally uses Kryptonite.

He might wear an armored exosuit to increase his survivability.

And a lot of the time, Superman is mind controlled or holding back, which reduces his power and gives Batman time to prep stuff like traps.
Superman can both see and heat vision Batman from space.
 

Really like the new logo.

And not that it's news that WB has little faith in the marketability of DC Comics IP other than Batman, but they can't even put Superman's name first in the title of the sequel to his own movie?

Batman vs Superman flows better though when spoken. So not surprised to see them go in the direction for the title. They've referred to the film both ways in the past I believe.

Also for those interested. This is how the writing credits are being reported. Something we knew but good to see it in print. This was on the Variety article.

Film is written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing.
 
That's just.......fucking awful. I mean it's one of the worst titles I've ever seen. I mean has a movie with versus in the title ever done well? I mean really?
 
I hope the teaser trailer will be just Affleck's voice doing the "I want you to remember Clark..." line with a black screen and then the BvS symbol appearing like the SDCC reveal. I'm still as excited about the movie as I was back then.

Yep.

Hey man, I'm just saying that's how they've portrayed the fights in the comics in the past. Obviously if Superman was going max effort he could kill anyone at anytime with zero warning.

In fact, Mark Waid's "Irredeemable" comic was about just such a scenario.
 
Ugh I really dont want a whole movie with them at each others throats.

They better get over whatever disagreements they have pretty sharply.

Damn, people will criticize anything related to this movie. Age of Ultron is just as dumb.

It tells you what the movie is about. Batman fighting Superman with Justice League starting up.
 
This week, in the Warner Bros. marketing department:

"Now, we've spent a good year or so considering a title, and we think "Dawn of Justice" would be a great choice to go with-"
"You put Batman and Superman's names in that thing or we're throwing you off the water tower"

I mean, I knew it was never going to be called World's Finest, but I'm not sure any of the alternatives really have all that much pleasant a ring to them.

It's the internet. It's that scene from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back played out over and over. People just love to hate on everything and pretend like it's the worst thing in the history of things whenever something is announced.
 
Well, they had to sneak in "justice" somehow.

Yeah, but they could've done it without making it sound so... fan fictiony.

Like... "Batman v Superman: Justice." Now it sounds like that great Alex Ross-painted miniseries. Boom, instantly better and less silly sounding title.

Superman getting second billing in his own sequel, lmao.

"Injustice: Gods Among Us" is a better title than "Dawn of Justice" and that's saying a lot.

Batffleck will be the only good thing about this mess.

Stop making sense. We all know this movie should be called "World's Finest" to confuse as much of the general audience as possible.
 
No worries about the name. Snyder da gawd about to deliver the first true and most iconic Batman on film to date.

But World's Finest is better because I know that title already, even though it probably makes no sense to use it for a movie where Batman and Superman are fighting each other.

It'd show some fucking balls at least, like Nolan had when he made the first Batman movie without "Batman" in the title. WB are playing it too safe and it shows.

(I don't particularly care for "World's Finest" as a title, either.)
 
Surely people know the logos which means they have no need for that title but marketing playing very safe. Sounds lame though.
 
World's Finest is way too old-timey sounding. Hardcore comic fans know about World's Finest, but most mainstream people have never heard of it used outside of the context of stuff like this:
