Title

[edit]

I wasn't sure what this page should be titled, so I made this list of all sources I could find:

  • The Batman Part II: THR, Variety, TheWrap, IndieWire, Gizmodo
  • The Batman – Part II: NYT, LA Times, Collider, IGN, Den of Geek, Screen Rant, Polygon, DC Comics
  • Outliers: Deadline, /Film, Reuters, ComicBook.com

It seems The Batman – Part II is the winner here. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:46, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BOLDly moved, as no one has responded. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:43, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Seems Matt Reeves stated on Instagram and X that the film does not contain a colon. I think we should go with the director along with THR and Variety on this. Much like Back to the Future Part II and The Godfather Part II. WickedFanAccount (talk) 05:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The sources mainly indicate the film title uses a hyphen (–). Matt Reeves' stylization on Instagram is from a primary source, and shouldn't be the reason for ignoring the eight sources that use the hyphen. An example of a film's title being different to what it is marketed as is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Mjks28 (talk) 07:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that we should not be changing the most commonly accepted as correct title unless we have concrete confirmation the long hyphen is excluded from the official title. This can be determined from the billing block on the poster once that eventually becomes released years from now, though often times, the logo would probably not feature it. The fact that DC.com uses the hyphen adds weight to its inclusion being correct, and Reeves' post could just be a shorthand stylization or his preferred method. We just don't know enough to make a definitive call on removing the hyphen entirely. Trailblazer101 (talk) 15:09, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Filming in correlation to the Hollywood labor disputes

[edit]

Since Midgard Times is not a reliable source, is it true that there are no reliable sources (without traces to Midgard Times) contextualizing the filming for this film in correlation to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes per WP:NORUSH? 2607:FEA8:761F:4600:84C0:EB0E:65B5:817F (talk) 21:13, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since Midgard Times is unreliable, and any sources gathering information from them cannot be used per WP:FRUIT, we do not presently have a reliable source to use for when filming may be scheduled to begin. Bear in mind, no filming can occur until the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved, and even then, we will need an updated source for any filming details, which can be added once they become available. Until such updates are provided to the trades or public, the filming information should remain as is, and once the initially scheduled November 2023 timeframe passes, we can adjust the wording to indicate that this was expected, as in it did not occur. As with NORUSH, we will just have to wait and see on when updates are made. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:35, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
