I hope they don't make another movie about the DC character Steel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_(John_Henry_Irons)
"Steel (John Henry Irons), also known as the Man of Iron, is a
fictional character, a superhero in the DC Universe."
But if I see the name/title {baS loD} without any other context (other
than that it's a superhero character), I'm inclined to interpret it as
"Iron Man".
