Last week, we reported that Nintendo Switch owners had some Resident Evil awesomeness awaiting them in 2019 and, fortunately, it didn't take very long for some official details to materialize. If you're hoping for a port of the Resident Evil 2 remake, you're not getting that, but do know that three classic entries into the hallowed survival horror franchise are being re-released this spring.
Now that Ben Affleck has officially vacated the role of the Caped Crusader, the subject regarding whomever will inherit the mantle in The Batman has become the talk of Tinseltown and the geek community alike. Seeing as how this particular pop culture icon is recast periodically just as Superman and James Bond are, it's only understandable that a high level of excitement surrounds the issue.
In the few weeks since the remake of Resident Evil 2 has been released, we've seen the speedrunning community have a field day with it. Don't get me wrong, the game is very challenging, but it's possible to cruise through it if you know which corners to cut and are good at dodging.
Having been caught up in the developing situation involving Agent Liberty and the emergence of Nia Nal as Dreamer, it became almost easy to overlook how the producers of Supergirl had been building toward the unification of the Elite (Manchester Black, Menagerie and the Hat). In fact, we'll see them come together on March 3rd during the aptly titled "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way?," an obvious nod to Action Comics #775.
If I were to make any observation about The Flash's current big bad, Cicada, it's the he's less a thorn in the side of the STAR Labs crew and much better at racking up losses before escaping at the last second. To use a pro wrestling term, he's more of a "jobber" than Reverse-Flash, Zoom, Savitar and the Thinker ever were.
If you'll remember, there was a rumor floating around last year saying that The CW would be developing a Superman show to include in its Arrowverse lineup. Unfortunately, that was swiftly shot down, but it appears as though such talks haven't ceased behind the scenes.
Ever since Oliver Queen got out of prison, the Arrow landscape has changed quite drastically. Not only has he been officially sanctioned by the Star City Police Department, but more recently, the rest of his team have been deputized as well. Seeing as how they're vigilantes with secret identities no more, you have to admit how different the status quo has become.
When The CW renewed all of its DC-based shows for another season last month, I wouldn't doubt if many fans out there did a little happy dance. Granted, some have been performing better than others in the ratings department of late, but my gut says the network wants to keep them all alive long enough for the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover to be all that it can be.
Since its very inception, fans have wondered how Gotham would handle the Joker and his subsequent origin story. As it turns out, the Clown Prince of Crime's formulation has proved to be as long and as drawn out as Bruce Wayne's journey to becoming Batman.
As much as I'd love to see another great Batman video game come together in the very near future - specifically something having to do with the acclaimed Arkham franchise - I'm not going to hold my breath. After all, aside from that series and the Telltale games, there haven't been too many offerings in the interactive medium that have properly grasped the Dark Knight.
