‘Superman & Batman’ movie will follow ‘Man of Steel’

The movie doesn't need the phrase "man of steel" at all I think. "Dark Justice" by itself would be a good title, I think.
But the filmmakers obviously want that in there...and if it's supposed to be a MoS sequel, it only makes sense.

You know, like how that one Batman sequel was called Batman Begins Harder.

Or kind of like how that other one was called The Dark Knight Rises.
 
Warner has some other DC trademarks to pull from. How about "The Brave and The Bold"? That could evoke several levels of the likely story featuring Luthor, Batman and Supetman after the events of Man of Steel.

Or The Brave, The Bold and The Bald if Luthor is also featured :D
 
I actually just found a title on for a collection on Comixology that I think would be a great title, if it's is set in Metroplolis. Superman/Man of Steel: Dark Knight Over Metropolis.
 
From Think Mcfly Think:

Well we have also learned from a trusted source in Hollywoodland (the same one who first alerted us to Batman Vs. Superman getting quietly developed, David Goyer back on writing duties for the next Superman film and the Gotham Central-inspired series) the studio has been testing for Lex Luthor. No, it's not Bryan Cranston. Or Mark Strong. Or any other bald, Caucasian character-actor. Instead it appears they are testing African-American actors to portray the billionaire arch-nemesis of Kal-El.

Denzel Washington was their hope of hopes but nothing ever materialized and before you even ask, yes Idris Elba was on "the list" as impossible as that would have been given his current status as Hemdall in Marvel's THOR films. One actor approached is someone fans of Arrow would know as John Diggle, Oliver Queen's bodyguard/pal, actor David Ramsey which, if that were true, would put a kink in theories that Arrow would be tied into DC's Cinematic Universe.

This does not mean Luthor will definitely be played by an African American.
What about Justice League, you ask? According to our source, making the team a "United Nations" of Superheroes is the plan. The concept we’ve heard plays Superman represents the world as a whole (Being an immigrant of Earth he speaks for everyone), Batman would represent the United States with the American Affleck in the cape-and-cowl with the Flash possibly portrayed by an Hispanic or Latino actor and as we saw announced yesterday an Wonder Woman played by an Israeli.

It's a pretty neat idea, same as with Gadot's other (multi-million) film franchise, Fast & Furious, which has such a wide appeal: exotic locations with a multi-cultural cast that brings all walks together with the common purpose of entertaining and being entertained.
Here's their full story.

Makes me wonder if that means they'll use John Stewart as Green Lantern instead of Hal Jordan.

My vote would be......

This reads a little like trying too hard.
