While we've been referring to 2015's sequel to Man Of Steel as Batman Vs. Superman for simplicity's sake, Warner has yet to announce the title by which the film will officially go by.

However, Fusible has picked up on a whole new batch of titles that Warner has registered online, all of which appear to relate to the forthcoming film.

Of course, the official title could be something else again, but these are the current names apparently being turned over…

Man Of Steel Battle The Knight
Man Of Steel Beyond Darkness
Man Of Steel Black Of Knight
Man Of Steel Darkness Falls
Man Of Steel Knight Falls
Man Of Steel Shadow Of The Night
Man Of Steel The Blackest Hour
Man Of Steel The Darkness Within


Can't say we're too convinced by the number of knight-centric puns on display here, while it does seem apparent that "darkness" is very much the order of the day.

Of course, the titles could be linked to merchandising tie-ins rather than the film itself, so we'll treat this with caution at present. Still, a trip back to the drawing board might not be the worst idea...

Whatever it ends up being called, the new film will open in the US on 17 July 2015, with a UK date to be confirmed.
