Did DC Just Design the Perfect Batman Costume?

This week’s Batman #58 is one of the best-looking Batman comics you’re likely to find on the stands right now. That’s not surprising, given that Mikel Janin has long since established himself as one of the top Batman artists in the business. There is one weird quirk to be found in this issue, however. Due to an unusual choice of lighting, one page features Batman wearing what seems to be a combination of his current costume and his previous DC Rebirth suit.

You can argue over whether this particular embellishment works well, especially since nowhere else in the comic does Batman’s cape have that purplish tinge. But whether intentionally or not, Janin and colorist Jordie Bellaire may have created the perfect Batman costume.

Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee Review

It’s often with rose-colored glasses that I look back at Pokemon’s Kanto story, and I know I’m not the only one who feels a deep connection to the wooded region. It’s where many long-time fans had their first Pokemon adventure, and it’s the region where I met one of my favorite characters of all time. It’s with great relief that, even when I consciously remove those glasses, I find something greatly deserving of that deep admiration when I look at Pokémon: Let’s Go. After about 40 hours with the Pikachu version, I put down my Nintendo Switch impressed with how well this reimagining of Pokemon Yellow matches my memories of my first adventure, albeit with a few major differences that almost all turn out to be for the better.

Toy Story 4: New Trailer Introduces Ducky & Bunny, Played By Key & Peele

Only a day after the first teaser trailer, a new Toy Story 4 video has revealed two new characters, Ducky and Bunny, played by Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key.

Framed as a reaction video to yesterday’s trailer, it’s not just a surprise because we got a teaser so recently – the comedy duo weren’t even listed on the movie’s IMDB page until the new teaser went live, and we’d heard no rumours about their involvement.

The YouTube description for the trailer explains the characters a little more: “Woody’s journey in ‘Toy Story 4’ includes a visit to a carnival where he meets Ducky and Bunny, two carnival prizes who are eager to be won.”

They aren’t the only new characters announced for the film this week. Yesterday’s trailer introduced Forky (played by Tony Hale), a spork seemingly having an existential crisis about being turned into a toy. Here’s everything we know about him so far.

Nintendo ROM Site Lawsuit Results in $12 Million Judgement

Nintendo has been awarded $12,230,000 by an Arizona judge following its lawsuit against two ROM hosting sites.

Back in July, Nintendo issued lawsuits to LoveRETRO and LoveROMS, both run by the same married couple, Jacob and Cristian Mathias. The couple have since taken down both sites, and entered settlement negotiations with Nintendo to avoid a legal battle.

TorrentFreak now reports that the two sides have agreed to a consent judgement. Unsigned judgement documents read: “Plaintiff is hereby awarded judgment against all Defendants, jointly and severally, in the amount of $12,230,000”.
