Fanboys Anonymous

Ever since it was announced that Batman and Superman would be in the next DC film, fans have been speculating about the title. There has been virtually every possible combination of these two names imaginable, featuring every iteration from the comics and more. Today, Warner Bros. finally announced the name of the film as well as the updated logo: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

This helps further speculation that the film that will follow this will indeed be the Justice League teamup (which better be simply called The Justice League or I'll be annoyed).

As far as this title goes, I'm a bit relieved. I expected it to be much worse. Granted, I think they could have done better, but this will do. I like the use of "v" instead of "versus" or "vs.", which distances itself a bit more from the idea of them fighting each other, ala Freddy vs Jason. I also like the idea that it acts as a lead-in to Justice League. Still, too many titles are using "dawn" and "rise" and it's becoming exhausting.

The logo is a step up, but the bat symbol is still too fat and Superman's emblem is too gritty and weird. I've always preferred the sleeker designs, but at least it isn't as bulky as the original one we saw when they announced the film to begin with.


Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be released in theaters May 6, 2016.
