In this case I think a rule amendment to allow the title to be taken from the spine, back cover, film credits etc. would be a good idea.

Q
The current rules ask you to take the title from the front cover. Nowhere on the front cover is the title written as "X III: The Last Stand". There is neither a "X" nor a "III" (Roman numeral) on the cover. We only see the words "The Last Stand" and a X-Men logo which resembles a X and three claws which tell us that this is the third film in a series. Is the title "The Last Stand"? No, its the tag line or the subtitle. So, we can not find the title at all on the front cover similar to the Batman situation.

The only problem we have now, is that we have no direction in the rules, where we should look for the title, when it can not be found on the front cover. But simulating the logos by ASCII art is nowhere supported in the rules.


That is your interpretation of what is on the cover and what the Rules say (or not).

I can clearly see "X III" when I look at it!

Show the cover to any normal person and I would be willing to bet that 99% of them tell you the title is X-Men III: The Last Stand. Or possibly X-Men: The Last Stand. But I doubt the majority will say the title is X III: The Last Stand.


I may not be a normal person, but every time I've seen it, I've read it as X III.

Count me as abnormal too.  When I talk about that title, I say "X three".  The same with 'T 2'.  I also say, "AVP", "M I Two" and "M I Three". 
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

That makes at least three of us abnormal.
