If i play carrying the torch on Superman MM on the 5th drop, making him Superman/Batman, and on the 6th drop play At their finest.. does that Superman/Batman get the +2/+2 for each name?

Sorry for the short answer earlier, it stinks typing on some mobile devices. :P Anyway, its the way most cards work. If a card has multiple names and an effect effects both it will only work once. I can't think of another example, but I believe there is one if someone can help me out. :D

EDIT: Sorry I think I may have misunderstood. The rule I originally quoted (201.8b) had to do with meeting required names in order to play things but the requirement on playing At Their Finest is having not played any other plot twists not controlling Batman and Superman (I was thinking of something like Brains and Brawn). Anyway the text of At Their Finest is:
Quote:
 
At Their Finest (DWF-199R)
Plot Twist, 3
Play only if you have played no other plot twists this turn. <p> Characters you control named Batman or Superman get +2/+2 this turn.

I'm inclined to get into a little language discussion here, but basically because the character has the name "Batman" and the name "Superman" one of two things is possible. Either the fact that it has the names Batman and Superman causes it to meet the requirement of "named Batman or Superman" and it gets the +2/+2 once or it gets no bonus because the name is neither "Batman" nor "Superman" but both.

My belief is that it would get the +2/+2 bonus since my understanding is that unless something is specifying "the same name" it doesn't really matter if that character has multiple names or not. My reading of "named <name>" is "has the name <name>" not "has only the name <name>". Honestly I'd rather let an approved rules lawyer hash it out for you than continue to muddle the issue.
