    A better title would have been Batman vs. Superman: Jar of 'Iced Tea'

    Well, I would replace the word “Ice Tea” with what was really in it. ;)

    I demanded a dom, Sir.




    And Jar of Piss is the correct and apt name for BVS.

    Should have just called it Men from Martha. What a wasted opportunity.

    World's Finest would convey a team-up rather than a face-off, so I actually understand why they didn't go with that title. I think most fans had the same question about why it wasn't called World's Finest when it was first announced, but the story they were going for at least justifies the decision not to use it.

    And it's "Dawn of Justice" because it's essentially just a prelude to the JL film that only features the Trinity w/quicktime video cameos of two other JL members. In the context of "our overall story's aim is about the Justice League", then a prelude with that subtitle makes sense.

    What's really weird to me is, well, it's not like there was ever going to be a film called BVS: Sequel Subtitle. So having a subtitle to begin with is out of place, IMO. No one is going to confuse it with another BVS movie since one would never exist (they would call it a Justice League movie instead).

    The title being overloaded is a fair reflection of the film itself.

    I mean- perhaps the problem WAS that they set it up to be a fight between those two instead of Doomsday or Lex? World's Finest would have worked then. And given how fast they revealed Doomsday in the trailers, I think World's Finest would have worked just fine. It's not like the two didn't fight in the animated series too. They just got over it faster.

    As to your point- that's why it wasn't the Dawn of Justice. It was more like the death of justice with Superman dying.

    I agree Batman vs. Superman would have been just fine.

    It's like the Birds of Prey film having to also have Harley Quinn in the title. It's stupid.

    Batman vs. Superman would not have been just fine, because that wasn't the movie.

    'Now some guy called Lex Luthor revives Zod as CG abomination' would have been a more fitting title than anything proposed thus far.

    Dawn of justice. The sheer arrogance. Pretty sure it was prompted by Marvel moving on to Avengers. "We have to let the market know we're also doing a thing!"

    Why is this so difficult for some of you?

    The entire plot of the film is that you think you're going to get to sip granny's delicious peach tea but, instead, we all got a mouthful of piss. Misleading titles are the central plot. Is the painting upside down or rightside up? Is the film not ghastly if viewed upside down?

    For as much as people talk about Warner's obvious corporate plots, the real obvious plot was the pivot to a ~cinematic universe~ once that film got announced. Suddenly instead of Man of Steel 2 we need Batman and Wonder Woman? Coincidentally after Disney made a hojillion dollars on Avengers 1: Step Up 1 The Streets? Uh huh.

    I'm pretty sure it was even pointed out ITT... but in trying to hunt it down I was rattled by an old post of mine where I foolishly thought the Punisher hitting on Ms. Grundy was as weird as Archie Comics could get. I was a ****ing fool.

    Flashpoint was a better title if they're doing multiverse, calling the movie The Flash innevitably connects to the CW show (and Miller was already on the CW network and this has a different Supergirl in it).

    But t'hell with it all, freakin' Keaton is back and that's all I need. Call if Flash-wait-we-got-Keaton-dangit. I'm assuming the script might be at least somewhat decent for him, assuming it's not a 100% just a sell out role. But returning to Batman, officially, is kinda huge. I have vague notions that Batfleck will straight up be atomized or something and then Keaton Batman is slotted in.

    All I care about is if this leads to a Batman Beyond. I'm afraid I've pretty much written off this version of the Flash- which is sad because I enjoy the character but I think between the allegations against Ezra and the whole DCEU, the whole thing has killed any hype I had for this film outside of Keaton's return. Perhaps they should call it: Flashpoint: Batman Returns (Again). :p

    Calling Batman v Superman: Litigation of Justice the World’s Finest anything would be blatantly the least appropriate title possible.

    With their history of shafting minority characters, Warners with one of the most tone-deaf responses I have ever seen.
