Let’s start the week off with something a bit unconventional and do something fun with one of our recent stories!
For those who haven’t kept up with the latest sizzling entries of our fabulous INTERN-Net news team, fellow OOU contributor Thomas Mariani reported on the rumored titles that Warner Bros. is toying around with for the Man of Steel sequel, which is still tenatively titled Batman vs. Superman. As Tom put so eloquently, one would think that this placeholder is enough to get butts in seats, but apparently WB wants to keep “Man of Steel” in the title, with various subtitles pertaining to BatAffleck’s presence in the film. And, as Tom also stated quite well, they all suck. I’m sure most people with a decent eye for catchy titles would agree with Tom and I, but as someone who really liked Man of Steel, I’d imagine that I’m even more peeved at the unoriginality and forced nature of these titles than most people.
So where should we vent this disappointment? Well, dear readers, looks like we’re both in luck. With this editorial platform, I will throw out my own suggestions for the official title of the next Man of Steel film, with snarkiness turned up to 11. By the way, if you’ve been keeping up with all the news surrounding the film’s production, chances are you’ll enjoy this even more. Here goes:
