Warner confirms titled ‘Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice,’ fans respond
If you thought the negative response to Ben Affleck’s casting as Batman as bad, wait until you read the responses to the film’s official title: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The Wednesday press release begins: “Filming is underway on Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” the highly anticipated action adventure from director Zack Snyder…”
Other than confirming the cast in the film, the presser offers no details on the film. Check out the full press release posted by Slash Film.
They also posted some of the best responses by fans on Twitter:
LOL. RT @philwrighthouse I’m pronouncing this Batman Five Superman. – @GermainLussier
Feige and the rest of the Marvel clan must be in stitches right about now. – @elmayimbe
If there’s anyone alive named “Dawn Justice,” her day just got significantly sh***ier. – @mattsinger
And this one comes from frequent /Filmcast co-host Jeff Cannata:
Instead of “Dawn of Justice”, they could have gone with “We’re Rushing to Catch Up”. Well, that’s sub-TEXT, not sub-title.
That comes after “Twilight of Truth” and before “Mid Afternoon of The American Way”

Batman Vs Superman opens in theaters May 6, 2016.
It’s not surprising to see the public hate the official title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It sounds like a cheesy horror title. And perhaps the movie will be a horror since just about every news piece associated with the movie just fuels the doubts people have about this movie.
