WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Titans Annual #2 - DC’s Titans have finally reassembled, with the fate of the world at stake. Back in January, the Justice League officially disbanded the team. A series of blunders had torn the Titans apart, and the League concluded that their former sidekicks lacked the discipline to protect the world. The Titans have gone their separate ways since, and it hasn’t been an easy road....
Over the course of the past year, superhero tentpole motion picture productions have taken the spotlight when it comes to major blockbuster releases time and time again - and not for the first time. Among the several competing Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Extended Universe installments from 2016, movies like Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War garnered plenty of attention from general viewers and critics alike, and were two of the most widely talked about movies - for better and for worse....
You know, we love those words. And we love the concept of Android One, notwithstanding all our reservations about it (read our initial thoughts about Android one here). The problem is that we first heard those words almost five months ago. When Android One was launched in India by Sundar Pichai himself. It was a launch by three very identical phones (so identical that we had to combine them all into one massive review)....
Warning: SPOILERS for Deathstroke #48 DC renegade Deathstroke has a brand new outfit, and it’s one that’s got some serious Star Wars vibes. Deathstroke #48 sees a new look for the villain-turned-antihero—assuming it’s even him under the helmet. The fashion move isn’t just stylish, it’s part of the latest twist in Christopher Priest’s ongoing saga making Deathstroke DC’s most wanted killer. Slade Wilson’s currently presumed dead, having taken an arrow through the eye courtesy of Emiko Queen, a....
It was last week claimed that Apple was one of a number of tech giants which was failing to fully comply with Europe’s privacy law, GDPR. Other companies may be deliberately defying GDPR, it is argued today. A new piece suggests two reasons for companies not complying with one of the General Data Protection Regulation’s key requirements … One of the rights granted to EU citizens under GDPR is that they can ask for their data to be deleted, and it is this one which scares companies, suggests TNW’s Amnon Drori....
Denzel Washington has never been approached by Marvel or DC for a potential superhero role. Superhero movies and franchises are the bread and butter of Hollywood right now, and it seems like almost every actor has either been cast or rumored to join one of the popular comic book film series. But as it turns out, Washington has never been in talks for any superhero gig, the Academy Award-winning actor revealed himself....
From 2004 to 2012, the women of Desperate Housewives faced family drama, the ups and downs of their love lives, and some scary and silly situations on their quiet and idyllic street, Wisteria Lane. Throughout it all, Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Gaby Solis (Eva Longoria), Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross), and Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher) are the best of friends. When a TV drama is on the air for eight seasons, there are going to be some low-rated episodes, and fans aren’t going to love everything....
While a certified comedy legend now, Dave Chappelle was by no means an overnight success. Chappelle put in quite a few years in the Hollywood trenches prior to the launch of Chappelle’s Show on Comedy Central, appearing in more than one failed TV pilot and poorly-received film along the way. The 2003 debut of Chappelle’s Show season 1 changed everything for the comedian, though, almost instantly rocketing him from notable stand-up to A-list comedic icon, and creating amazingly original characters like Clayton Bigsby, a blind white supremacist that is completely unaware of the fact that he himself is actually a black man....

Her most recent role is Amanda Harper, a war veteran suffering from PTSD, in the psychological thriller Escape Room.

Deadpool 2 director David Leitch says certain jokes from the sequel’s trailers won’t make the final cut of the film. Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds is known for his motor-mouthed comedic performance style, much like his X-Men counterpart. It thus came as little surprise when Reynolds confirmed that he improvised a fair amount during the filming of the original Deadpool movie, along with some of his costars. While many of those on-the-fly jokes made the final cut, many more were naturally left on the cutting room floor and either appeared in the trailers only and/or as DVD and Blu-ray extras....
Fox’s Deadpool is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only has it proven that true-to-the-source-material superhero movies can be successful even if they’re rated R, but it may even give us the long-awaited Goon adaptation that director Tim Miller has been trying to get off the ground for years. Nearly two months after the movie hit theaters, it’s still churning out new treats for fans to enjoy. The latest goodies related to the film are several pieces of concept art for Colossus....
Although Logan has yet to be officially given the R-rating fans are clamoring for, the movie’s trailers and reports from the production all suggest that this will be the case. And although mature mainstream superhero movies aren’t commonplace, this isn’t 20th Century Fox’s first. Last year, the studio had huge success with Deadpool which - despite being packed with violence, crude humor and colorful language - became the franchise’s most profitable venture to date....

Apple Pay may be a convenient, one-tap method of paying for your purchases – but not if you want to collect rewards points at the same time. That has so far always required a separate step, usually using the store’s own app. Department store Kohl’s has just announced that it has partially solved the problem, allowing Yes2You Rewards points to be accrued just by using Apple Pay … You’ll need to use the chain’s own Kohl’s Charge card to accrue the points....
The fictional cities of the DC Universe are as iconic as the heroes who inhabit them, and few are as legendary as Superman’s beloved home of Metropolis. While the City of Tomorrow’s exact location is usually kept vague, DC’s Watchmen crossover series, Doomsday Clock, gives comic book readers a surprisingly specific address to the Man of Steel’s place of employment—and that address is in New York State. The golden-hued, Art Deco mega city had previously been placed in New York in earlier stories, but DC also contradicted this detail several times by also claiming Metropolis was located in Delaware as well as Kansas....
Another member of the Doom Patrol has arrived, as DC’s upcoming Titans TV series has cast Jake Michaels as Robotman. While excitement was already high for a live-action TV show, based upon the Teen Titans comics, a lot of recent press has surrounded another superhero team coming to TV. Geoff Johns confirmed Doom Patrol will join Titans recently, with the team lending their name to the fifth episode of the debut season....
In a battle of the comic book movie blockbusters, Deadpool 2 is poised to be a clear winner against Avengers: Infinity War (now in its fourth weekend) at the box office. Marvel Studios kicked off the summer movie season a little earlier than usual this year by dropping their epic team-up at the end of April. Originally, Infinity War was set to open on May 4, but Marvel moved it up as a way to prevent the spread of spoilers....

With the Zach Snyder behemoth that is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on the way this March, many fans of the caped crusaders from the DC Comics bullpen have plenty to look forward to from their chosen superheroes and heroines. Snyder’s aforementioned and inevitable blockbuster is likely to draw the attention of mainstream moviegoers in general, and may reinvigorate enthusiasm for the Warner Bros. owned stable of God-like men and women....
