Side By Side Comparison of Batman: TAS Opening Credits – Original vs. Remastered

Fans of the seminal Batman: The Animated Series have been eagerly awaiting its Blu-ray debut for years, but it looks like we’ll have to wait just a little longer, as the release date for the Deluxe Limited Edition Blu-ray box set has been pushed back from October 16 to October 30.

That slight delay comes with a big silver lining, though; Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced that the deluxe set will now also come with a digital copy of the series, which includes all 109 episodes and the remastered animated movies Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero. The collection also features The Heart of Batman, a 90-minute documentary that follows the making of Batman: The Animated Series and includes interviews with nearly three dozen members of the cast and crew, according to WB.

A quarter of a century ago, on August 28, 1993, a pop culture phenomenon was born: the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Cyberpunk 2077 Devs Experimenting With Fully Destructible Environments

The development team at CD Projekt Red is pulling in a heavy amount of in-game destruction to Cyberpunk 2077 in order to create the rawness of a dystopian world.

CDPR Level Designer Miles Tost shared insights during an interview with IGN into the physical environments that make up Cyberpunk 2077.

“So we’re trying to push the interactivity of the world by adding in details from a physical side,” Tost said. “The game will be highly physical, will have a lot of destruction. You can see that in the demo when you’re in the scavengers area and you shoot at the pillars and they start crumbling.

Tost said there will be a high level of gore in the game as well, and that it all adds to the feel of the dystopian world they are trying to create for players.
