What 'serious' alternate title would suit TMNT?
 

Batman's title was The Dark Knight in Nolan's series, and Superman's was Man of Steel in Snyder's iteration.

So if we were to ever get a movie that actually tried taking TMNT down this route, what kind of title do you think would suit it? I've got:

Hamato Clan

TMNT (Yeah we've already had it, but it kinda works)

Turtles Fight With Honor

Heroes in a half shell

The only title I feel that matches MOS and TDK is
Heros in a half shell obviously

Brotherhood of the turtle, I'd love that title doesn't seem to fit this sequel though in my opinion.

Even though it was rough, I always thought that TMNT: Red Sky sounded really cool. Maybe have something in the story change the sky and give the movie a darker tone? Probably just me.

Ninja Turtles, Turtles, Green Machine? There isn't much to work with.

City at War

Powerful title, awesome story, would be grand. Would never happen now!

Seconding: City at War

Which is stupid because they're neither heroes nor have half shells. That whole saying needs to stay dead.

"The Fearsome Foursome" is the closest thing I can imagine that would work, but it, #1: Sounds laughable, #2: Sounds like some kind of group of sexual predators. Maybe a play on it? "The Fearsome Four" or "Fearsome Four"? Worked for the Magnificent Seven (and soon Tarantino's "Hateful Eight").

Maybe a play on Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai," ala, "The Four Ninja"? And have it be a balls-to-the-walls all out ninja action movie.

If they were to make a Raphael solo movie, they could call it "The Nightwatcher".

Four Brothers (yes I know about that Mark Walhberg movie)

Well since Dark Knight and Man of Steel are established alternative titles since long...

...Plastron Café? Shell Shock? Turtle Soup?

Shell Shock sounds pretty good.

Plastron Cafe.
I quite like the sound of that...

For a legit title, that's a tough one. With being placed in the summer blockbuster category and having sorts like Bay involved, I imagine someone is likely to try to come up with something that sounds like the typical epic summer blockbuster. At the same time though, this is the Turtles... how does one do that while simultaneously making it a title that suggests it doesn't take itself too seriously. Not sure if those concepts can exist in the same space. lol



Although "Shades of Green" just popped into my head for some reason and laughed harder than I should have...

Turtles or City At War could work.

'Adult Mutant Ninja Turtles'

It's the only logical title. Teenagers aren't serious and adults are, right? I know I'm right. I'm an adult and I set examples for underaged children ages 0-12 everyday...

Turtles Squad Ninja Fighters

Stupid? They are heroes, if you were paying attention to the damn movie you would know. All four of them came to the rescue of people during the first act of the movie.

Heroes in a half shell, turtle powah!
