Man of Steel Sequel Officially -and Surprisingly- Titled ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’

Warner Bros. has finally chosen the title for one of the most anticipated movies ever. “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” really surprises me in many levels.

We have been calling it “Batman vs. Superman” because writer David Goyer referred to it that way last year. But I always doubted that a Man of Steel sequel would evoke a stand alone crossover, and that they would use the character’s names after going with their more “graphic novel style” epithets.

But above all, that a blockbuster production engineered to sell tickets and toys would be framed like a fight between heroes, a negative concept from a marketing point of view (I shared that thought with producer Charles Roven).

The “Dawn of Justice” part confirms what we already knew, that this will lead into “The Justice League” movie. Let’s hope that it can achieve of the goals and can deliver a satisfactory self-contained story instead of a messy set-up, like “Iron-Man 3.”

All questions will be answered on May 6, 2016. Except for “Why a ‘V’ instead of ‘Vs’?”
