Is WB's MAN OF STEEL Sequel Titled, BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN?

In 2002, Warner Bros. registered a domain name, batmanvssupermanmovie.com, and in the past year the website has been updated. Could this be the title of their upcoming film, featuring Superman (Henry Cavill) and Batman?

Here is a link to the website in question. batmanvssupermanmovie.com. A simple check on whois.net verifies that the website was created by Warner Bros. in 2002, and was updated on November 8, 2012. And comicbook.com has pointed out that Goyer mentions this as a possible title for the film during the Superman 75th Anniversary Comic-Con panel.
During the Superman 75th Anniversary panel, Man Of Steel writer David S. Goyer said, “So over in Hall H at the Warner Bros.–I guess most people know now–at the end of the Warner Bros. panel, Zack came out and he brought Henry Lennix, who plays General Swanwick in Man of Steel and we–actually, Henry read a bit from [The Dark Knight Returns] and so the next film we’re making, we’re already in pre-production, comes out in summer of 2015 and it’s–we’re actually not sure whether the title is Superman vs. Batman or Batman vs. Superman but yes, it’s–that rematch, that combination, the two guys onscreen and that’s happening.”

David S. Goyer only gave two examples of what the title could be, so we did a little research, figuring that Warner Bros. would likely have registered the domain name that they would want to use for the title. It turns out that Warner Bros. owns both SupermanVsBatman.com and BatmanVsSuperman.com, which could be used to protect comic book titles as well as movie titles. However, when we added movie to the end, we found out that Warner Bros. had only registered BatmanVsSupermanMovie.com but not SupermanVsBatmanMovie.com.

I hope not. I really don't think Batman should be able challenge Superman physically.

I think they should work together, and they can bicker along the lines. Just don't have Batman kick Superman ass.

Anyways looking forward to this. It should be really awesome.

It'll be a mistake if this is the title or if this is how this film is going to be. This should be a sequel mainly about Superman, and featuring Batman. I don't want to see them [frick]ing up Metropolis throughout the whole film. But sadly, that's probably the thing everyone wants to see besides a good story.

Brave and the Bold?

Then at least, you have it's very own franchise where you can use an established hero to introduce a new one.

Who knows what they'll end up naming it?
My guess is Arthur.

The recently born Prince of England, that is. And I'm calling it, righ here: He'll have ginger hair.

How about just "Batman/Superman: World's Finest"?
What's wrong with that?
DukeAcureds
DukeAcureds - 7/22/2013, 4:44 PM
Exactly.

DukeAcureds - 7/22/2013, 4:45 PM
Also, the father, Prince William is not ginger, but his brother Prince Harry is. Just saying.

Actually, World's Finest by itself might be enough. Batman vs. Superman is such a shitty, gimmick-y title.

Now that's what I call Anti-Shark-Bat-Repellent! Batman done fvcked Jaws in the face!

Darkknight23 - 7/22/2013, 5:08 PM
they should call it Batman/Superman v. Ultron. Then they would be on par with marvel...maybe
TheFox
TheFox - 7/22/2013, 5:08 PM
If they HAVE to name it one of those, they'd BETTER name it "Superman vs. Batman". It's a MAN OF STEEL SEQUEL, remember? Why would you put the other guy's name first?

F%$# it, this idea is sounding worse and worse all the time. Multimillion-dollar blockbuster or not, I'm really afraid this movie is going to blow...
