Batman 75 Year in Review: Dawn of Justice

Batman’s 75th Anniversary draws to a close, so we here at Caped Crusades intend to fill these twilight days talking about the year that was. A lot of big Batman moments happened this year, so let’s review them as many as we can before our year-end countdown of the biggest and best!

On May 21st WB and DC announced the subtitle for Batman v Superman would be Dawn of Justice.

"BURBANK, CA, May 21, 2014 – Filming is underway on Warner Bros.

The title was received with mixed reviews, some hating, some adoring. One thing was certain, though: DC was gearing up for a Justice League film and a bigger cinematic universe. At the time we posted a poll about the quality of the title, which you can still vote on here.
