Spider-Man: Homecoming writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are in negotiations with Warner Bros. to direct DC’s stand-alone Flash movie, Flashpoint, according to a Variety report. Affleck’s participation in the DC Cinematic Universe as Batman, however, is up in the air. Warner Bros.’ stand-alone Flash movie became Flashpoint at San Diego Comic-Con in 2017.

The biggest change that will be noticed by top creators affects Google Preferred, Google’s top-tier advertisement group for a select group of creators. Every video submitted for Google Preferred ads must be watched by a moderator and manually approved as family-friendly content. This extra layer of human moderation will catch videos that shouldn’t be eligible for Google Preferred ads, but somehow slipped through YouTube’s filter. In response, YouTube announced on Jan. 10 that Paul would be remov

Moreover, Tencent has the help of Chinese police to find, ferret out and bust the underground rings behind the bots. Bloomberg also notes that cheat makers have converted PUBG leaderboards into a kind of advertising for their wares, using their contact information as their names. Analysts note that PUBG attracts large-scale cheat makers because of, well, its popularity. The installation base for PUBG is 27.6 million worldwide, according to Steam Spy, and almost 10 million of that comes from Chin

Super Mario 64 mods are nothing new, but a near-perfect port of the classic Nintendo 64 game into the world of fellow N64 hit Banjo-Kazooie is a new high for the community. Trenavix, along with modders Waschpenner and Shyguyhex, has played around with tweaking other games in the past, including Banjo-Tooie and Dark Souls 3. Their Super Banjo-Kazooie 64 demo is their most impressive work yet, however. It’s jarring for anyone who grew up playing one or both games, but Mario surprisingly fits well

Chris Hemsworth has confirmed that his contract with Marvel Studios to play the Asgardian god of thunder comes to an end after Avengers 4, but he’s already looking toward the future. It’s evident from Hemsworth’s interview with USA Today that even he isn’t sure of what’s to come. Hemsworth did confirm he was already talking to Marvel Studios co-president, Kevin Feige, about his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, pointing to Thor: Ragnarok as a potential reboot for the character. “‘Look, we

The ongoing saga of esports team 100 Thieves’ trip to the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, ELeague Major: Boston has finally come to an end as the team announced late Friday night, on Twitter, that it would not be attending the tournament due to visa issues with its roster. The upcoming Major was supposed to be the first that the team attended after forming in December 2017. Despite its recent formation, the 100 Thieves had already acquired the qualification spot in the Major by picking up thre

A new animated short is here from Blizzard, and it’s designed to get you excited about buying skins in Heroes of the Storm. This sort of “joke” takes craft and love, and the short provides both in equal measure. Blizzard went to a lot of effort to promote its new “Mecha Storm” skins for Diablo’s Tyrael, Warcraft’s Rehgar and StarCraft’s Abathur, and we appreciate that effort. “If it’s style you’re after, our Mechas are crafted using only the finest, artisanal techniques and the rarest materials,

I started What Remains of Edith Finch. Spoiler warning: This article contains unspecific spoilers about the plot of What Remains of Edith Finch. The Finch house is deep in the woods on Orcas Island, in Washington State. It’s all there in my grandmother’s house, and in Edith Finch. Edith Finch is about stories, too.

The latest object of lust for hardcore fans of both Star Wars and Lego is the $799.99 Lego Millennium Falcon. This amazing model also features interchangeable sensor dishes and crew, so you decide whether to play out classic LEGO Star Wars adventures with Han, Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO, or enter the world of Episode VII and VIII with older Han, Rey, Finn and BB-8! One fan’s homemade take on the design is making the rounds on Reddit again, and it’s both beautiful and very, very colorful. I mean,

“You can’t live a life of violence and not feel that violence deep in your heart … And eager fans were quick to point out a Crisis-referencing Tweet King had made earlier in the week:The Crisis isn’t coming. Before becoming a full-time comics writer, King was a counterterrorism officer with the CIA, and his comics — Grayson, Sheriff of Babylon, The Vision, Omega Men, Batman, Mr. Miracle — have often grappled with war and conflict, and a hero’s struggle to put their war and their trauma behind

So how does Warner Bros. stay relevant in a world where Marvel and Disney are dominating so handily with both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars? That’s who he is, and that’s a side of the character that’s completely missing from the xenophobic and borderline hateful caricature that Affleck and Snyder brought to life. Until that gets fixed, Batman is going to continue to be an also-ran in a world where Marvel is doing everything better. We want to love Batman, but Warner has to meet us

The card-based multiplayer party game will bring back both Maxwell, star of the previous games in the series, and original characters to compete in a series of more than 25 minigames. Shiver Entertainment is developing the game, taking over for original developer 5th Cell. 5th Cell produced five Scribblenauts games between 2009 and 2014, with a sixth in the works until 2016. That year, 5th Cell experienced major layoffs, leading to the cancellation of an iOS game called Scribblenauts: Fighting W
