Former Batman actor Ben Affleck (or Batfleck, if you prefer) has confessed that Justice League faced “one problem after another” and put him off directing a solo Dark Knight movie.

Call of Duty is expanding its repertoire, it seems, with a new, free-to-play battle royale game called Warzone that could be on the cusp of release to the masses – for 150 players at once. Chaos’ video informs us that Warzone is a “free-to-play, battle royale game […] that you can download and play for free.” So far, so Fortnite – and Activision is no doubt seeking to cash in on the battle royale trend in a similar vein to Respawn’s Apex Legends, which launched in early 2019. Warzone, however,

In a decade of edgy comics for edgy teens it was harder to get edgier than Spawn. Now he’s back, in Mortal Kombat form. As the trailer above shows his Mortal Kombat 11 incarnation is voiced by the excellent Keith David, who also played him in the TV show.
