Possible Titles for 'Batman vs. Superman' Emerge
Because the days of simply slapping a '2' at the end of a sequel's title are long gone, there are just as many rumors about movie titles as about casting. Since Warner Bros. doesn't plan on going with Man of Steel 2 for their upcoming blockbuster folks have taken to labeling it Batman vs. Superman, or vice versa, although that was never anything official. Now we may be on the verge of being able to put that cumbersome title away for good, only in favor of something more lengthy.
According to Fusible, the studio has registered a number of potential titles for Zack Snyder's film, and they all sound like bad Star Trek into Darkness spinoffs...
"According to the latest domain registrations, possible titles include “Man of Steel Battle the Knight”, “Man of Steel Beyond Darkness”, “Man of Steel Black of Knight”, “Man of Steel Darkness Falls”, “Man of Steel Knight Falls”, “Man of Steel Shadow of the Night”, “Man of Steel The Blackest Hour”, and “Man of Steel The Darknness Within”."
Man of Steel Beyond Darkness? Really? Ugh. What does that even mean? Anyway, it could be one or none of these. Hopefully none. If you had to pick one, though, what would it be? And why can't they just go with World's Finest, as has been suggested before?
Man of Steel Into the Darkness of Smaug's Clones will open July 17th 2015.
