The 'Batman vs. Superman' Movie Has an Official Title and Logo
by Andy Neuenschwander"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
Like it or not, it's official: This is the new title for the upcoming Batman/Superman movie. The news was announced today via the release of the first official poster for the film, which features the new logo and title together.
The logo confirms that the movie will use a thicker Batman logo, approximating the design in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," in which Batman and Superman go head-to-head. The redesigned Superman logo used in "Man of Steel" is embedded within the Batman logo, in a similar style to the fake logo featured in the post-apocalyptic future of "I Am Legend."
The title also confirms, though we already knew it, that this sequel will also serve as the first step towards a Justice League movie. Actress Gal Gadot will appear, probably briefly, as Wonder Woman, and Cyborg is also set to make an appearance, joining Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman.
The release of the poster coincides with the start of principal photography in Detroit, where much of the movie will be shot. The film is currently set for release sometime in 2015.
