I’ve been following the Absolute Batman series, and issue #16 really hit me hard. It’s heartbreaking to see Bruce Wayne grappling with the aftermath of his fight with Bane – his friends are seriously hurt, and some are even… changed. Seeing him visit Oz Cobblepot and Harvey Dent in the hospital was so tense. You can feel his guilt and desperation. It’s amazing how he turns to Wonder Woman for help, remembering the debt she owes him from their earlier adventure. He’s desperate to find a way to restore Waylon, his friend, after those scientists at Arkham turned him into… well, something resembling a crocodile. It’s a really powerful story about responsibility and friendship.

As a long-time fan, I noticed something interesting! Before HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the movie A Knight’s Tale – with Rufus Sewell, Paul Bettany, and Alan Tudyk – told a very similar story way back in 2001. While George R.R. Martin’s tales came first, it’s cool to see they both seem to pull from the same historical source. Honestly, I think Martin’s version is just a bit more compelling!

A new rumor suggests Captain America (Steve Rogers) is living on the same planet as the Fantastic Four in the upcoming movie, Avengers: Doomsday – specifically, Earth-828.

Studios sometimes offer free episodes for a short time to promote new releases, but what’s unusual here is that Paramount didn’t mention the episode would eventually be taken down. They never gave viewers a warning.

While most people now know her for funny roles – she’s focused on comedy for the past 15 years – Byrne is a versatile actress capable of deeply moving dramatic performances. Her new film, a psychological drama with comedic elements, gives her a chance to showcase that range and is now available to watch.

Based on Adrian McKinty’s popular novel of the same name, The Chain is the first project resulting from a new partnership with Media Res, the television studio behind shows like The Morning Show and Pachinko. While specific details are currently confidential, Lindelof is developing the story and expanding on the world of McKinty’s award-winning thriller. Lindelof will also be the showrunner, a role he hasn’t taken on since HBO’s Watchmen, which famously built upon the work of Alan Moore.

For years, fans have hoped to see the actress play either Batman or an X-Men character in a movie. In a recent interview with ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan while promoting her film The Strangers — Chapter 3, Petsch finally addressed these fan castings, sharing her thoughts on potentially taking on the roles of Dr. Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy) or Phoenix.

The movie based on the cooperative game Split Fiction is progressing well. Game director Josef Fares recently shared an encouraging, though careful, update in an interview with MovieZine.

Okay, so everyone’s been asking for it for ages, but this Reddit post by Most-Coat4726 really hit the nail on the head – it perfectly summed up how much we all still want Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess on the Switch. Honestly, even if some people think it’s a long shot, a ton of us said we’d instantly buy a Switch 2 just to play either of those games! It’s that tempting.
