Henry Cavill News 2014: The upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel was referred to by many as just "Batman vs. Superman," But on Wednesday, the actual title was unveiled to be "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," according to CNN. The film features Henry Cavill who will play Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.
The official statement goes with the announcement that the production of the film is currently underway in Metro Detroit.
"Principal photography will take place on location at Michigan Motion Picture Studios and on location in and around Detroit, Michigan; Illinois; Africa; and the South Pacific," the announcement stated.
According to CNN, it seems the "internet hated" the aforementioned title which draws negative comments from Twitter.
"OK, I just clicked on 'Dawn of Justice' in a panic, thinking it was yet another Far Right Group," said @Scriblit. "Dawn Of Justice sounds like Steven Seagal's comeback movie," quipped @DoctorFluxx.
"Dawn of Justice? So THAT'S why Batman looks so sad," said @ElliottcMorgan, referencing the recently released first look at Ben Affleck's Batman.
Another user thought "it makes it sound like a direct-to-DVD movie you'd find in a bargain bin," as The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit tried to remind the displeased masses, "it's always darkest before dawn (of justice)."
"The 'Dawn of Justice' thing is cool but having it be Batman 'V' Superman is annoying my OCD," tweeted Chris Stuckmann. "When I see the new title, I read it as 'Batman 5 Superman'. Help me!"
"Oh my god. What if 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice' is A LAW MOVIE? And 'Batman v. Superman' is the lawsuit?" asked @Hello_Tailor.
In addition to Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot, Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams and Diane Lane are all reprising their "Man of Steel" roles, and they'll be joined by Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred and Holly Hunter in an unspecified, newly created role.
Once "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" finishes filming, the movie will arrive in theaters on May 6, 2016.
