Billed as the culmination to a six-year animated movie saga that began with 2014's "Justice League War", Warner Bros. Animation is set to release the final chapter of the DC Animated Movie Universe with May's "Justice League Dark: Apokolips War" - which will see about every character from the Justice League and Justice League Dark unite to take on the forces of the fiery world of Apokolips and its supreme ruler, the New God Darkseid. As reported by Comic Book.com, following the adaptation of "Flashpoint" with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and then the emergence of films starting with JL War that were heavily inspired by "The New 52", it looks like WB and DC are going to begin things anew - possibly with a "Rebirth" after this is finished.

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War is set for release digitally on May 5th and on home video on May 19th.
It's an unfortunate time for those who were looking forward to some new films in 2020, as concerns over the corona virus pandemic has understandably derailed plans and delayed movies as theaters close to promote "social distancing" and communities go into quarantine/ lockdown to prevent more cases from happening. With several other studios already announcing delays of highly anticipated blockbuster films like "No Time To Die" and "Black Widow", Sony Pictures has joined in to delay the likes of "Morbius", "Ghostbusters: Afterlife", production on the "Uncharted" film as well as the untitled Spider-Man spinoff - sending them all to a 2021 release window as a result.
Released to the world on this very day 81 years ago, the 27th issue of "Detective Comics" introduced to the world the very first iteration of "The Bat-Man" - created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane and chronicling the very first appearance of Bruce Wayne and his dark knight vigilante persona in the pages of comics. While the cover date is listed as "May 1939", many historians have noted, as well as entered in the DC Database, that the street/ publication date was "March 30, 1939".
While Batman does have an official "Batman Day" usually held on September each year by DC Comics, this is still a date that Batfans around the world celebrate and honor. Long Live The Bat!
Giving viewers another look at his new comic book movie role that's a spin-off of Sony's Spider-Man movies, Comic Con Magazine (via Comic Book.com) has a new poster up for "Morbius" - which features Jared Leto playing the titular character of Michael Morbius and showing a glimpse of his vampiric alter ego just waiting to emerge from the darkness.
Fans of nostalgia and retro cartoon action are in for a real treat during these trying times, as Hasbro has done the deed and uploaded FULL EPISODES of the classic "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" TV Series to YouTube! Released in 1983 to compliment the popular toyline as well as the Marvel Comics series, the show followed after Hasbro commissioned Marvel Productions to produce animated commercials promoting the toys.
Following the immense popularity of those ads, a five-part animated mini-series was produced - focusing on the Joes battling their mortal enemies, the terrorist organization known as Cobra, as they raced to find three elements that powered a matter transporting machine known as the M.A.S.S Device. That pilot series would pave the way for more episodes and seasons to come, and the rest as they would say is history.

This is a great opportunity to give viewers new and old a chance to see these classics and the legacy of G.I. Joe, as well as hype up the new "G.I.Joe Classified Series" 6" line of action figures coming from Hasbro! Go on and see these classics now!

To commemorate the upcoming release and remind everyone of what they can expect - a new "Jill Valentine" trailer sends in some new teases and revelations - including one of the new forms Nemesis will become following a further mutation.
A remake of the 1999 Playstation game known as "Biohazard 3: Last Escape" in Japan and "Resident Evil 3: Nemesis" to western audiences, RE3 will focus on Mansion Incident survivor and S.T.A.R.S
member Jill Valentine, as she focuses on trying to survive the Raccoon City outbreak instigated by the Umbrella Corporation while also encountering a huge hulking monstrosity known as "Nemesis". The game will also be released together with the online game "RE: Resistance" - which will be an online multiplayer game where players take control of survivors or a mastermind controlling the monsters.

Following the release of their first episode of their documentary series tackling the making of this long awaited remake to one of the greatest Japanese RPG's in the modern video game age, Square Enix has followed things up with the second episode of "Inside FF VII Remake" - which now looks at the Story and Characters behind the adventure!
Courtesy of the official Final Fantasy YouTube channel, here's the second episode spotlighting the tale of Cloud, Sephiroth, Tifa, Aerith, the rest of Midgar and of course the legend of the Promise Land.
Inside FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE – Episode 2: Story and Characters
Final Fantasy VII Remake is slated to be released for the Playstation 4 on April 10.
Released today via the official Japanese Twitter account of the films, here is a look at the theatrical poster to the upcoming double live-action Rurouni Kenshin movies hitting later this year - aptly called “Rurouni Kenshin: The Final” and “Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning”. Once again starring Takeru Satoh as series lead Himura Kenshin and both films directed again by Keishi Otomo, the films would adapt the “Jinchu” and “Remembrance/ Tenchu” respectively - following Kenshin and his friends dealing with the vengeance of Enishi, played by Mackenyu, and then detailing Kenshin’s early days as Hitokiri Battousai and meeting his first wife Tomoe, who will be played by Junko Iwao.
Rurouni Kenshin “The Final” and “The Beginning” is set for release in Japan on July 3 and August 7 respectively.
Making his debut into the latest installment of the long running Tekken fighting game franchise, a new Muay Thai warrior enters the scene with his heart set on attaining freedom for himself and his family, and his name is "Fahkumram" - the newest DLC fighter for Season 3 of "Tekken 7"!
TEKKEN 7 – FAHKUMRAM Release Date Trailer
After being announced at the end of last year's Tekken World Tour tournament, Fahkumram is a tall, muscular, and scarred man who is a former Muay Thai prodigy who is falsely imprisoned and forced to fight for survival and the safety of his family. When his captors enter him into The King of Iron Fist Tournament 7, he is a man on a mission to ensure he and his loved ones get that chance at freedom.
Fahkumram is now available as a DLC fighter purchasable for Tekken 7.
Released at this time 24 years ago first in Japan and later before the end of the month in North America, the original Resident Evil (known as "Biohazard" in Japan) coined the genre "Survival Horror" and went on to become one of the original Sony Playstation's best-selling titles. Telling the story of a group of special division police officers who are stranded inside a seemingly empty mansion, the game introduced zombies and other biological monstrosities as enemies while also forcing the player to conserve ammo, solve puzzles, and think smart while navigating either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine out of the death trap location alive. This game would then get a re-release a year later in a "Director's Cut", before spawning an official follow-up in 1998 with Resident Evil 2 and then several other sequels and spin-offs through the years, and even an official Remake for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2002.
As one of the games that defined a generation, Resident Evil's legacy has certainly grown and expanded beyond the confines of its video game legacy - growing into a well known franchise that is constantly getting updates and retools - including a remake to "Resident Evil 3" coming this April that follows in the footsteps of last year's highly successful "Resident Evil 2 Remake". As a longtime fan of the series, it still manages to surprise me - especially with Easter Eggs that were previously unknown and I found out via a new episode by "Did You Know Gaming?"!
Resident Evil Easter Eggs - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Dazz
Resident Evil 1 and its Remake are available in several console releases. Resident Evil 3 Remake will be released this April 3rd for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
As one of the longest running TV Shows of the modern age, The Walking Dead has survived well beyond its original comic book source material and has grown to a multimedia franchise that includes not one but now TWO spin-offs - Fear The Walking Dead and the upcoming "The Walking Dead: World Beyond". Envisioned as a two season limited event that follows the new generation of survivors born after the zombie apocalypse, that show was originally scheduled to premiere on AMC on April 12 - but due to the corona virus pandemic that has hit the globe, the network has made the wise decision to delay this new series to some time later this year.
It's hard to believe that it's been over a decade since we got to know Takeru Satoh - who burst into the Tokusatsu world scene with his starring role as Ryotaro Nogami in the "Kamen Rider Den-O" series. His popularity would only skyrocket even further when he was cast as Kenshin Himura in the live-action "Rurouni Kenshin" films, and after playing the role for three installments - one released in 2012 and two in 2014, he's back to play the slasher turned wandering swordsman in two brand new films once again directed by Keishi Otomo this year in "Rurouni Kenshin: The Final" and "Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning".
Today, March 21st, marks Satoh's 31st birthday celebration. TheRurouni Kenshin Movie Facebookpage has posted a cool Behind The Scenes picture featuring the actor in Kenshin attire but wearing a robe while not filming and being followed by an assistant taking care of his wig. Also, the actor has launched a YouTube channel, with his first video being a live discussion and also talking about how long it took to film the new RK films. Also, it's in Japanese so be advised before watching! You can also visit Takeru Satoh's official website here.

Rurouni Kenshin: The Final and Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning are set to be released in Japanese theaters first on July and August of this year.
With the world facing more important problems thanks to the corona virus, the annual comic book event that is "Free Comic Book Day" has been postponed to some time later this year.

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Natasha Romanoff who were looking forward to the long awaited "Black Widow" solo film will have to be even more patient and understanding given the trying times in the world now, as Marvel Studios made the hard yet understandable decision to delay the film's release and pull it's late April/ Early May release date from theaters. This is due to the global pandemic that is the "Corona Virus" that is forcing countries into lockdown, community quarantines, and closing businesses and productions until further notice to try and stem more people from being infected by the virus.
Other Marvel projects like the upcoming TV Shows for Disney Plus in "Falcon and the Winter Soldier", "WandaVision", and "Loki" have suspended production as well, leading to an uncertain time when these programs will resume work and get a release window.
It goes without saying that a lot of Final Fantasy VII fans have fond memories of the original game when it was first released in the original Playstation in 1997, so it comes as no surprise that the original developers and Square Enix are diving into a deep cup of nostalgia by revisiting the classic while also talking about the upcoming Remake in a new documentary series called "Inside Final Fantasy VII Remake" - which just released its first episode called "Episode 1: Introduction" in the official Final Fantasy YouTube channel.
Inside FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE – Episode 1: Introduction

It's been some time since comic book fans have heard anything from Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok's upcoming DC Black Label series "Batman: Three Jokers" - but Fabok took to his social media pages Facebook and Twitter and shared a brand new image of one of the versions of the Clown Prince of Crime that will be appearing in the book. The image shows the Joker of the late 1980's era - holding a bloody crowbar - which is a reference to the time he brutally beat and then subsequently killed the second Robin, Jason Todd. That is considered one of the greatest failures Batman has ever experienced, and evidently the past is coming back to haunt him and his family again in the new story to come.
While there hasn't been much information about this upcoming series, what is known is that the story will focus on the aforementioned three Jokers as well as Bruce Wayne/ Batman, Barbara Gordon/ Batgirl, and Jason Todd/ Red Hood - all three who have traumatic encounters and history with the laughing lunatic from Gotham City.
To say this is “Purrrffect” is an understatement, but Jim Lee took to his social media pages like Facebook and posted his 2000’s variant cover for the upcoming “Catwoman 80th Anniversary” 100-Page Super Special #1!
As you can tell from the title, the one-shot issue celebrates the 80th Anniversary and legacy of Catwoman - better known as Selina Kyle and the on-and-off love interest/ frenemy of The Dark Knight himself, Batman. In Jim Lee’s variant piece - it’s a tribute to the groundbreaking early 2000’s Batman storyline “Hush”, which saw Bruce Wayne/ Batman getting serious with Selina/ Catwoman in the midst of a case that saw the titular antagonist introduced for the first time and pitting the Caped Crusader against his greatest enemies. Batman also revealed his identity to Catwoman for the very first time in official Post-Crisis continuity.
The 80th Anniversary Catwoman special will arrive in comic book stores on April 15th.
ZOINKS! Fans of Scooby-Doo, Mystery Inc., and pretty much the legacy of that Scooby snack eating pooch are going to have a wild ride of danger and adventure this May, as Warner Bros preps up the first full-length animated adventure for the gang in “SCOOB!
Not only will this animated film reveal the untold story of Scooby-Doo’s origins, but it will also put them on their greatest mission yet - an evil plot to unleash the ghost dog Cerberus! Aside from Scooby’s pals Shaggy, Velma, Fred, and Daphne, the heroic duo of Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, as well as a slew of other classic Hanna-Barbera characters join the mix - which can only mean crazy things to come!
SCOOB! Trailer
SCOOB! will hit theaters on May 14 courtesy of Warner Bros. Philippines!
After giving the world its very first look at actor Robert Pattinson in the Batsuit via a screen test, director Matt Reeves follows up his teases by releasing not one but THREE pictures of the very FIRST LOOK at the brand new iteration of The Batmobile that will be appearing in "The Batman"!
Shedding away the huge tank-like look and style that has been seen in the Christian Bale and Ben Affleck versions of the character, this new Batmobile is a "Dodge Challenger" type of car in nature, and that's perfectly fine as it prioritizes speed and sleekness over artillery - the "early years" style that Reeves' Batman clearly still is. Plus, the ride is somewhat reminiscent of the 1970's Batmobile that Bruce Wayne/ Batman used in the comics - when he moved closer to Gotham City and set up his base of operations in a penthouse tower instead of his Batcave in Wayne Manor.
In what is certainly the perfect opportunity to capitalize on nostalgia and give fans new and old the perfect complimentary piece for the new season of the Netflix series premiering TOMORROW, Konami has released a mobile app port of the critically acclaimed “Castlevania: Symphony of the Night”!
Known as “Dracula X: Nocturne of the Moonlight” in Japan, this side-scrolling action adventure game was originally released in March 1997 in Japan for the Sony Playstation, before being translated and getting the North American release known to everyone, mankind ill or otherwise (a reference to the original dub haha). Unlike previous Castlevania titles, Symphony of the Night was a departure from the simple whip and go progressive adventures the Belmont clan were accustomed to. This time, the primary adventure put you in control of Dracula’s own son Alucard as he awakens from a centuries long slumber after the current wielder of the Vampire Killer whip, Richter Belmont, mysteriously disappears.
In a style dubbed as “Metroidvania” by fans, players guided Alucard in a non-linear, action RPG styled adventure, unlocking secrets, learning spells, acquiring different sets of weapons and equipment, and leveling up after battling and defeating monsters around the castle.
Produced by the legendary Koji Igarashi and going on to becoming one of the most beloved games in video game history, Symphony of the Night saw many ports and rereleases following its Playstation debut, including a redubbed version first released for the Playstation Portable as a hidden game in “Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles” and then that very version together with its predecessor “Castlevania: Rondo of Blood” was bundled as a digital release for the Playstation called “Castlevania: Requiem”.
You’ll be playing that very same PSP/ PS4 release for the iOS/ Android mobile devices, but with shortcuts and quick presses to make it easier if you don’t have a controller on hand.
Literally SOTN on the go and in time for Castlevania Netflix Season 3! This Mobile Edition of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night retails at $2.99! Add it to your collection if you love playing in your mobile devices and phones!
It's been THREE YEARS since Hugh Jackman went at it "One Last Time" and played the superhero part he made famous in the big screen as Wolverine/ Logan in the aptly titled "Logan" - the X-Men Movies spin-off film and third entry in the "Wolverine Trilogy" that sees an aged, battered, and tired Logan living in a world with lesser mutants and caring for an elderly Charles Xavier - only to be thrust back into the spotlight when he is hunted by men looking for a young girl with the same powers he has. It was the perfect send-off movie for the character who has been the centerpiece of Fox's X-Men Movies for years, and Jackman honors that legacy by sharing some new photos of his jacked up Old Man Logan with claws sheathed out via his Instagram!
X-CELLENT looking photos of the best there is. Jackman really got ripped for the role.
Directed by James Mangold, Logan was released in March 2017 and was one of the last films of 20th Century Fox's X-Men film franchise before the company was eventually bought by Disney. Jackman also co-starred with the returning Patrick Stewart as Professor X/ Charles Xavier, while a then young Dafne Keen played his daughter Laura Kinney/ X-23.
