Director and Batman super-fan Kevin Smith has been talking about Zack Snyder's 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', it's controversial title and how it sets up Warner Bros 'Justice League'.
Speaking on his Hollywood Babble-On podcast, Smith criticised the film's new title, saying: "It's a bit of a mouthful. And also, I don't know why 'Batman v Superman'. Why not just throw the 's' in there? Or spell it or something like that."
"Honestly," he continued. "Every comic book fan on the planet, who is a DC comic book fan, I think we all wanted to see Batman/Superman: World's Finest [as the title]."
Smith then went on to talk about the film and how it forms part of a sort-of trilogy, starting with 2013's 'Man of Steel' and culminating with 'Justice League'.
"Look, they're obviously beginning something, and there's a stretch of these flick," he continued. "And so this is the beginning of the 'Justice League', as we all suspected as they were announcing that cast.
"We were like, 'This is the beginning of a Justice League movie.' From what I understand now, it's no longer like, 'This is Superman 2.' They're not doing these things. They're doing like, 'Here's Man of Steel. Here's Batman/Superman: Dawn of Justice.' The next one is not like a sequel to one of the characters. They're just going to keep building their universe for about five or six movies.
"But all of them…it's supposed to tell one massive story, which is all Justice League oriented."
'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' will be released 29 April 2016.
