It's actually the logo from the '80s comics, which could very well have been inspired The Dirty Dozen.
DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

Um, they're doing animated Superman stuff all the time; plus the upcoming 'Superman' CW series too - I doesn't appear to be 'DC live action feature films only' related; it's everything DC related that's coming down the pipe.
They've released a guest list for FanDome, which includes pretty much every cast member from their shows and movies, movie directors, and comics writers and artisits. One name that stood out to me is Lynda Carter, she's one of the only people on the list who isn't involved in a current production that we know of, which makes me wonder if she might be announcing an appearance in WW84, or maybe a return to Supergirl.
It's implied that the girl is slapped by her mother. Now, assuming that her mother is involved in coordinating some kind of prostitution ring (which seems like a leap in logic, but I'll go with it for argument's sake), that would make her a madam, not a pimp. So your use of the term "pimp-slapped" would seem completely uncalled for.
Logo for The Suicide Squad:
Exactly one year away from theatrical release, should theaters exist then that is...
I like the design of the logo but I must go on record yet again as saying that I hate this trend of giving sequels titles that sound too much like one of the previous movies. We have sequels that add "the," like The Suicide Squad, The Final Destination, The Wolverine. We have sequels that remove "the," like Fast & Furious. Then you have the ones that just don't make any sense at all, like Saw 3D or Halloween (2018).
Unless the mother used the back of her hand. A move which is also known colloquially as a pimp-slap.It's implied that the girl is slapped by her mother.

You must really hate The Thing, and it's prequel The Thing. Or Halloween, and it's sequel-ignoring sequel, Halloween.
I do. I really do. I mean, it's one thing if it's a remake or reboot. But what the hell do they think they're doing? Halloween has got to be the worst. At least The Thing, while technically a prequel, was seemingly trying to position itself as a reboot for marketing purposes. But Halloween is clearly a sequel to the original, right down to bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis. And as if it's not enough to make it a sequel to the original that ignores all of the other sequels including the 3 that Jamie Lee Curtis was also in, they have to pull this title BS too!
Then there's the 1971, 2000, & 2019 versions of Shaft, which are all actually part of the same damn continuity!

I kind of agree with you on this, but this style of naming is head and shoulders above the previous trend of overnaming or overexplainging titles. X-Men Origins: Wolverine, for example. Or having to put a roman numeral after every sequel along with the subtitle.
I wonder have the Bond producers ever come under pressure to start giving the films more conventional titles with “James Bond” in the title or does the series’ longevity mean that the odd/random/unrelated titles form a sort of brand recognition in their own right?
They do this in Japan too. The '84 reboot/sequel to the '54 Godzilla is just Godzilla, the '90s reboot of Mothra is just Mothra, and there are three films in three different continuities all named Godzilla tai Mechagodzilla. It's only in English that they're given distinct titles.
As for The Thing, the original Howard Hawks film is often referred to by that title too, though it's really The Thing from Another World. And the '80s film was marketed as John Carpenter's The Thing, so that helps distinguish it. It's weird -- though all three films are thought of as The Thing, the prequel is the only one that's exclusively called that.
Tim Burton apparently at one stage wanted to call the film that became Batman Returns “Batman” on the basis that people would know it was a new one in the cinemas & when it was on tv they’d just watch it for a while & figure out which one it was.
Wasn't the 1984 Godzilla one called "The Return of Godzilla" and the the American version just called "Godzilla 1985"?
"Return of Godzilla" was the international title. Toho, and other Japanese studios, used to give their movies English language titles to sell on the international market, but once a foreign distributor would buy the movie, they'd quite often give the movie a new title in order to sell better. To stick with the franchise, this also happened with "Godzilla vs. Hedorah", which became "Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster", or "Mothra vs. Godzilla" becoming "Godzilla vs. the Thing".
Anwar, you missed this part of my post even though you quoted it:
Sorry, I thought "Return of Godzilla" WAS the original title even in Japan.
So Val Kilmer is going to be at the Fandome. Can we expect a extended cut of Batman Forever?
Also, the Superman Theme is not be cheap to use. So there might be a good reason to be using it.
Nope. I've read the rumors too. The popularity behind Routh showing up as Superman again may have encouraged the money people to look into it.

It has been confirmed that such a thing exists... Perhaps they will release it next instead of the much more in-demand Ayer cut of Suicide Squad.
I remember rumors, reports of Joel Schumacher himself wanting to release an extended cut on DVD before any of the Batman movies even got any DVD release. So we are talking all the way back to late 90s or early 2000s.
My guess is the footage exists in a final form, not rough cut version that the deleted scenes we did get on DVD. But similar to what happened to the Warner Archive release of Superman The Movie extended. They were motivated by fans sharing old VHS copies of the Extended Cut which aired over 2 nights on ABC in the early 80s. They had to go to WB’s film vaults to find the original negatives to assemble a new high definition cut of that tv version.
My guess is recreating Joel original hoped for version is going to be much cheaper. Certainly cheaper than finishing Snyder's JL Cut. It does not appear to involve any effects. It will be about finding the cut footage. Restructuring the order of scenes to match the original script. Anyone who has read the comic adaptation or novelization knows that not just was stuff cut but the story order was changed. Which adds to the disjointed feeling of events randomly happening.
If they can find the cut footage negatives, at most the standard color correction and final soundtrack mix might be all that is needed. I am being optimistic here. But if they have the scenes this should be relatively easy.
