I agree, the batman v superman thing just feels like a placeholder title people would use until we knew what it was called. Oh wait that's exactly what it was.Covarr said:
Nobody is arguing Batman would win in a fair fight. Thats why Batman never fights fair. He won't try to fight Superman at all unless he is 100% sure he has the upper hand.Darkbladex96 said:
Batman v. Superman: We're Too Chicken to Do a Wonder Woman Movie
Batman v. Superman: Disrespecting Two Properties at Once
Batman v. Superman: Washed-Out Colors
Batman v. Superman: Wrath of the Fanboys
Batman v. Superman: Twice the Crappy Merchandise
Those are my suggestions.

This I what I'm reminded of. Well, that and the Cry for Justice comic but the less said about that tripe the better.
"Worlds Finest" would have been better
But first, batman must eat the breakfast... OF JUSTICE.
You start with the milk... OF JUSTICE,
And then you eat some bacon... OF JUSTICE
Followed by some toast... OF JUSTICE
And then some eggs... OF JUSTICE.
And then you get rid of the evil guys all your base are belong to... FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
And then you hang out with friends, and together, you can be JUSTICE.

More like Batman V Superman: Dusk of Justice, am I right?
I'll see myself out..
But seriously, you have a movie where a dude who dresses like a bat is gonna do battle with a dude who dresses in spandex. Who the fuck gives a shit about the title by this point?

Y'know, I just realized how Dawn of Justice could have been a good title.
Superheroes are metaphor made text. When someone is overcome by their rage, one might say they become a monster; the Incredible Hulk literally becomes a monster when he gets angry. Given that level of heavy-handed symbolism, a title that doesn't carry at least two meanings is just not trying. A great example of a good superhero title is Superman: Red Son, which manages to pack at least three meanings into just two words.
So let's think about our characters. Batman is the Dark Knight because, while he operates with a ruthlessness that concerns some people, he still has his own code of honor. Note the double meaning there; he does most of his work in darkness and/or at night.
Superman, on the other hand, is mostly out and about during the day. He's a bright, shining beacon of hope and promise. He has ridiculous amounts of power, and hangs out up in the sky. He is, in short, the Sun(and, in particular, the Last Son of Krypton). It's no accident that in many versions, he's solar powered; the power of the Sun incarnate.
So when the Knight meets the Son, we have a dawn. It's just that easy. But, like so many things with the Justice League setup, they haven't laid the groundwork. Given that he is being rebooted, Batman is yet to be shown to be a Dark Knight. Man of Steel really doesn't sell the Sun angle for Superman. Something as minor as changing that title to Last Son of Krypton instead would provide a connection, however tenuous. But it's not there, and they're just diving right in as if it was.

We could make it a more cereal box style name?Gamegodtre said:
Superman 2: 1 Free Batman inside every movie!
or just dispense with any pretense of subtlety that remains and properly jump the shark-
Batman vs Superman: Dark Night's ended for the Dawn of Justice and Midday Peace to Afternoon Glory of the Evening of Solitude in Bedtime of Caped Crusaders (Co-starring sexy woman!).
Eh. The title is OK. Nothing original.
That being said, I don't know why the more I hear about this movie, more shitty I think its going to be.
Only valid reason I can think of is casting of Ben Affleck as Batman but that's petty even for me.

I just hate the whole "versus" thing. They're heroes. If these guys are seriously fighting for longer than a minute or two in the first 15 minutes of the film, then they've dropped the ball. Batman should only be a cameo if anything. There should definitely be no other Justice League characters. Give them all their own damn movies!
Just call it "World's Finest". It doesn't have any superhero names in it (which clearly they hate doing, evidenced by "dark knight" and "man of steel" as titles), it doesn't sound stupid (seriously? "dawn of justice"? That's the best you could think of?) and it was the name of some of the comics.
Yeah, you remember those, right? COMICS!? The things you're supposed to be adapting into a film?
