Well, it’s about time! With the first image of Ben Affleck as Batman now online, Warner Bros. have also officially revealed the title of Zack Snyder’s Batman/Superman, a movie which most have referred to so far as Batman Vs. Superman. Well, as it turns out, they weren’t too far off!

With principal photography now officially underway in Detroit, the studio has confirmed that the Man of Steel follow-up will be titled Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The full press release can be found below, while the official logo for the movie is above. So, what is “Dawn of Justice” referring to? Well, common sense points to the planned Justice League movie which Zack Snyder has already been confirmed to direct possibly as soon as 2017 (meaning it would shoot back to back).

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is inevitably one of those titles that many will initially react to in varying ways, but it does its job by hinting at Warner Bros.’ plans for DC’s own superhero team on the big screen, while it’s hard to NOT want to see a movie with “Batman V Superman” in the title!

What do you guys think?
