    Considering a Bond film hasn't been made with that title, technically, it's available.

    The titles are not good. The only one I like is:

    Batman Vs Superman: T H E D A R K N E S S W I T H I N.

    Yeah, but it maybe sounds a bit like a children's animated film. 'The Detective' could be a good title for a stand alone Batman film.

    That picture gives me an idea: 'Man of Steel: Like Hand and Glove'. Sounds a bit like a comedy film though.

    Sounds more like a porno.

    My biggest concern for this film is how in the hell Zack Snyder and co are going to cram everything into this film.
    First they have to show of Superman to re-establish him in some way, then they have to establish a new Batman, and their relationship to each other, and perhaps put in one or two villains and on top of that we're perhaps going to see Wonder Women and Nightwing!

    And if Man Of Steel is anything to go after then i have my reservations on how they're going to succed with all of that.

    This is why they should've done a Batman film with Affleck first. That way, both Cavill's Superman and Affleck's Batman get their own standalone films, and then they meet in this one.

    It's obvious how DC want's to pick up on the Superhero-mania that is currently going. That is sad because the end result may be very lacking of quality. And i'm afraid that if that's the case, then Affleck will be getting a lot's of heat..

    Either way, this film is going to be massive. Lots of comic book fans have been waiting for this film for a long time, I'm sure, and preceding "new" Batman film setup or not, it'll be really big at the box office. Even the massive Affleck haters will see it.

    Yes, i agree with you on that. It will be pretty awesome to see, but i'm still afraid that the film will be no good.
    But hopefully, i can be convinced otherwise. And either way, i'm going to watch it on the premiere!

    Now, given that I haven't yet seen Man of Steel, I still think that Batman/Superman: If the Glove Does Not Fit will be a decent film. What little I saw of Cavill in the role of Superman was good, and Affleck is a good actor, and I can see him doing justice to the Batman role (plus, I guarantee you he can pull off a great billionaire playboy).

    The problem with Man Of Steel were the overly-long action scenes and the narrative which consisted of flashbacks.
    If Snyder can put in the part of him whom which made "Watchmen" then can the upcoming film be good. But Snyder as of Man Of Steel isn't the fitting director IMO.

    Thought about seeing Man Of Steel but reviews (and Simon Pegg) put me off. Wasn't that interested in the first place because it seemed like another gritty reboot that takes itself way too seriously for what it is. Still I enjoyed the trailers towards release, so I thought about seeing it, but like I said, reviews and Simon Pegg.

    The film is certainly not "gritty" as per se. But it tries to lean towards that direction but it get's lost in all the CGI.

    I don't feel entirely confident about this film either. I do think that they should have done a stand alone Bat film with Affleck first. They don't need to establish his background history again though. Everyone already knows about this. His, parents being killed and how he became Batman I'm talking about. Nolan did it wonderfully, so why do it yet again? What's the story in the comics in terms of how Bruce became Batman? Did he order all these bits of the suit from companies abroad? How did it all come about? Where did the Bat car come from? Did they explain this in the comics?

    I'm not a great fan of MOS either. I wish MOS had have been done chronologically without all the flashbacks. It had too much action too and especially at the end, coupled with an abundance of CGI.

    What did Simon Pegg say about MOS? I read something about him saying that the news staff wanted to go and see the Dodgers game at the end when the city had just been flattened. I don't even remember them saying this in the film but that's kind of weird.

    He was slagging off Transformers and MOS is apparently in the same vein so that came up as well, and this is what he had to say.

    "Was Man Of Steel a metaphor for 9/11? No, it was just buildings falling down"

    "That was one of the things that blew me away about 'Man of Steel,' that at the end, they're all at the Daily Planet office just going, "Hey! Let's go see the Dodgers!" Isn't everyone dead? Isn't New York flat? What do you mean, go see the Dodgers?!"

    He's absolutely right. The last 40 minutes feels like Michael Bay has hijacked the film.

    Man of Steel was really mediocre IMO. It's your basic reboot with little story and tons of actions and visuals. The finale was pretty much an explosion lovers wet dream. I was excited for it because of the Cast and Christopher Nolan was involved. But it was a big disappointment to me. Gritty Reboot? Not at all. More like $*%#& Reboot.

    No, there was some brilliant power and emotion near the end of the film and some great characterization going on , something Bay's work is devoid of. Plus, I didn't spot any shameless arse or chest shots in the finale of MoS.

    I feel pretty much the same but I don't think I'd say it was a big disappointment, but a definite disappointment.

    They should show more of Clark's childhood and teen years in the next film to make up for the lack of it in MOS.

    For once I'd like a reboot that isn't played safe to "Appeal to the masses" What happened to movies made for target audiences? Films made for "Fans" not random bystanders who might not even like the film.

    How did MoS play it safe?

    I was mainly speaking of most reboots as a whole, but for MoS it just ticked the boxes of every typical summer Blockbuster. Recognizable icon? Check. Lightly touched on Backstory? Check. Explosions? CHECK CHECK CHECK.
  • I know a good title:

    'The Superman With The Golden Batman Mobile' :-)

    This sums up MoS beautifully.
