That show was Comedy Central's @midnight, which created the hashtag #BetterBatmanSuperman for their #HashtagWars segment and had comedians Matt Jones, Whitney Cummings, and Moshe Kasher do battle to see who could come up with the best (satirical) new title for the upcoming flick staring the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight.
