Happy 35th Anniversary, Street Fighter!

 


35 years ago this day in Japanese arcades, the original Street Fighter was released and introduced the world to the franchise that would be synonymous with Capcom and the world of fighting games. It wouldn’t be until the release of its 1991 sequel Street Fighter II where the series’ popularity would boom and many characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Sagat, and M. Bison would become household names, but it got its start with that 1987 title and things would only grow bigger from there.


Following Street Fighter II’s success, more sequels, spin-offs, and other forms of media and merchandise would follow. Street Fighter would take the world by storm and would feature largely in the fighting game community, leading to the birth of events and tournaments where fans and fighters from around the world could gather and participate in. After a brief hiatus in the early 2000’s that saw the franchise all but gone, Street Fighter IV would be released and see a resurgence in interest for fighting games. Street Fighter V would eventually follow, and now that game is ready to give way to its successor in Street Fighter 6 - which is set for release some time next year.

Three and a half decades of FIGHT! Happy anniversary, Street Fighter!

The Batman Director Matt Reeves Inks New Deal With Warner Bros.

 


Two years after DC FanDome and giving the world its first look at Robert Pattinson as vengeance with the very first teaser trailer of “The Batman”, director Matt Reeves has officially penned a new “first look” deal with Warner Bros. for TV and film projects as reported by The Hollywood Reporter - meaning that development on The Batman sequel is moving forward as well as the “Penguin” series spin-off that sees Colin Farell back as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot.

The new deal comes after the success of the new Batman film - which was released last March and is a separate universe that is not connected to the DC Extended Universe. It also comes after the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger, with Warner Bros. discovery CEO David Zaslev shelving a lot of unreleased projects like “Batgirl” and pledging a new “10-year plan” for DC Films that seeks to restructure their movies and make them better.
