I've looked at a list of working titles for different films, and often wondered what they mean. I found out (or thought out) the meanings of a few. Batman Begins was called Intimidation Game, and the movie was full of Ra's al Ghul intimidating Bruce/Batman and Carmine Falcone doing a little too. The Dark Knight was called Rory's First Kiss, in reference to Christopher Nolan's son, Rory. I don't know the connection here. From the Tim Burton era, Batman Returns was called Dictel, as a reference to the big, ugly corporate buildings, indicating a dictatorial presence (maybe a telecommmunication firm).
Outside of the Batman films, the Chronicles of Narnia (LWW) was called Hundred Year Winter and Paravel, both of which occur or exist in the Narnia universe. The follow-up movie, Prince Caspian, was called 'Toastie', for some reason. Iron Man 2 had the working title Rasputin, possibly because of the Russian element in the movie. Here's a list of working titles used in English films. They've got me thinking. What do they mean?
