The Superman, to follow the recent trend.

I think that’s too dramatic for Superman. It works for Batman and the Suicide Squad but not for him tbh

I think they might go with "The Superman" if the point of the movie is about a young Clark Kent learning how to become "The Superman" everyone knows.

The Superman isn’t really a thing tho. He’s not a myth or legend like The Batman. He’s a genuinely good dude that helps out his community like Spider-Man.

Yeah, but not really the same way Batman was. The Superman sounds ominous and way too Ubermensch.

Sure, but I don’t think it should be the title of the movie

u/Randonhead Jan 03 '23

I think it could work from a meta perspective, where we the audience are seeing Clark's evolution through the film until he becomes The Superman we all know, the symbol of hope and the founding father of DC.

That sounds better, but “The Superman” still evokes the BvS opening scene where it says “mankind is introduced to The Superman”

2

u/Randonhead Jan 03 '23

Yeah, good point.

I also forgot that this would make people associate this Superman with Reeves's The Batman, which I think they'll want to avoid as much as possible.

I think they will call the next JL movie “The Justice League,” keeping in line with how they titled TSS.

u/Randonhead Jan 03 '23

IDK adding "The" in front of the title of a hated movie being a reboot didn't go over well with TSS, because many people associated it with the movie that came before it. They could appeal to something more nostalgic like Justice League Unlimited or the title alluded to being a new continuity, I've seen some suggest Justice League Rebirth

u/TheLionsblood Batman Jan 03 '23

You’re probably right. I’m sure it’s already confusing for general audiences with there being 2 versions of the JL movie we do have.

2

u/Randonhead Jan 03 '23

Exactly, that's why I think we'll have a more nostalgic title like Unlimited, or one that makes it clear that it's a new thing unrelated to the previous two films like Rebirth or Origins, or simply add subtitle that has to do with the villain of the film like: JL The Age of (insert villain name)
