Man of Steel Sequel Titled 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'

This is a really strange title .

Obviously Batman had prep before the movie was finished and found a way to get his name top-billing over Supes in his own sequel.

Batman gets top billing because he is the one that is probably going after Superman. I always felt Man of Steel was really a DC Presents sort of film. I never felt like it was a going to be a Superman only franchise, I felt it was more of a DCU franchises.

People have to understand from a marketing stand point the title will attract people to see it. It doesnt matter much to myself, but the casual, non comics book fan its a title that will be remembered.

You shouldn't have gone there.

All I can think to express my feelings for the title is.... OBJECTION!

Pretty funny that superman doesn't even get top billing in his movie.

So is this a courtroom drama?

Good enough. Looking forward to seeing trailers and cast photos in the coming weeks/months.

No no god no please no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cue superman fanboys complaining batman has the top billing in the name.

But yeah, Batman v. Superman sounds like Bruce is taking Clark to court. If you thought that fight couldn't get any less fair, it just did.

whens the last time worlds finest actually meant batman and superman

Batman v Superman. In which Batman sues Superman for the cost of all damages he caused to Metropolis. The film ends with them all learning the true meaning of christmas and Superman grows a beard and becomes SuperSanta to all the little boys and girls and Batman learns to be less Scrooge-like.

We can't all have snappy titles like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, can we?

Just what I was going to come here and say

The sub title is generic as sin.

You might not like the title, but it's smart. Putting Batman as the lead in the title will attract non comic book fans, which is what the majority of the movie goers will be who see this film.

@nahuel: I'd like to know aswell

eh.................

BVS Dawn of Justice is just too long. A plain "BvS" or "Batman Superman" or "World's Finest" or "Man of Steel: *insert cool title*" would all be good. But it is better than "The Superfriends"

People will be complaining about not using "Worlds Finest" as the title but look at it from a marketing tool. It's to the films financial benefit that they have the two biggest superhero draws in the title. "Worlds Finest" means nothing without the logo to most movie goers. "Batman V Superman", that tells people what they are getting and Dawn of Justice gets people excited for potential JL movie. (confirmed) Maybe a wonky title but no more wonky than many comic titles. Lookin at you Ultimate Universe the Ultimate Ultimates lol.

Eh, it's okay. Simple Superman/Batman would be fine.

People are literally so stupid that they have to have titles like this now.

What does the "v" stands for anyway?

I'm loving the logo, though...

I understand why they didn't go with World's Finest. The phrase "World's Finest", means nothing to the mainstream non comic reader audience. I suppose they chose Dawn of Justice to allude to the fact that this movie builds to the Justice League although it is a little bit on the nose for my taste. I dig the new logo though. I especially like the scratches under the Bat logo.

OK then.

Hah, Batman gets top billing in a Superman sequel.

Also, this title is terrible. Seriously. World's Finest. It's not that hard, guys.

Lame

Cool logo, don't like the name.

World's Finest would have been perfect from the studio that gave us titles like The Dark Knight and Man of Steel.

What does Batman serve to the people?

Justiceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Batman/Superman: Most Generic Title

So World's Finest or World's Finest: dawn of justice was too complicated huh....They're really stressing this fight even though for 70 years prior Superman and batman were known as the world's finest. Damn this post Injustice era when Supes vs Bats is such a hot topic (personally i'm getting sick of it). I do like the logo though,actually no, the 'S' looks really dark. Don't dare batmanize Superman!!! Oh God...

Seriously they had WORLD'S FINEST and they went with Batman v Superman...ugh. Who takes these decisions?

Dawn of Justice alone would have been great. I can do without the Batman v Superman part. I dont know why but it bothers me. Maybe because this is supposed to be a MOS sequel and Batman's name is first, and it implies the main confrontation of the movie is their battle when we know they're going to work together.

Still, emblem looks cool.

This will just be a trailer for the Justice League.

Dammit, k4tz! Anyway, like I said before, "Batman v Superman" is a dumb way of spelling it and I'm not using it.

So no World's Finest huh ? It does sound cool I can't take that away.
