‘Batman vs. Superman’ Has a Real Title Now. It’s Silly.

Zack Snyder and the Brothers Warner have decided, against all good judgment, to not use the once-in-a-lifetime title Batman vs. Superman for their Man of Steel follow-up. Nor will they use any of the rumored, terrible titles like Man of Steel: Battle the Knight, Man of Steel: Black of Knight, or Man of Steel: The Blackest Hour. Instead, they’re running with Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. It’s a deliberate hype-up for the forthcoming Snyder-directed Justice League, and it also has a “v.” sitting right there in the middle of the title, acting all goofy. The Internet is poking fun accordingly.
Watch John Hawkes and Yasiin Bey as younger versions of the Robert De Niro/Samuel L. Jackson characters from Jackie Brown. The movie’s called Life of Crime, and it’s based on an Elmore Leonard novel, just like Jackie.
