Zack Snyder planned to introduce a female Robin in the DCEU aka Worlds of DC.
Per Metro, while replying to fans on Vero, Snyder revealed his desire to eventually include Carrie Kelley, who made her debut in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.
Carrie Kelley is a huge Batman fan who ends up saving the hero and eventually becomes the new Robin. The character, who prefers wearing green goggles as her disguise, was created by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley.
Snyder also revealed the Robin costume which appears in Batman v Superman actually belonged to Dick Grayson and not Jason Todd, hinting Dick Grayson was the one who was killed by the Joker.

MoviePass is raising its monthly subscription price and is limiting access to nearly every major blockbuster release.
The company will be increasing its price from $9.95 to $14.95 over the next 30 days in an effort to stay afloat, with MoviePass temporarily running out of money last week. Users will also won’t be able to watch new movies within their first two weeks of release.
The service has recently been suffering from widespread outages, with most showings for films not appearing on the app, including Mission: Impossible – Fallout. MoviePass’ parent company, Helios and Matheson Analytics, claims these two measures will help reduce its cash burn rate by 60%
Fortnite’s 5.10 update is coming tomorrow at 5 p.m. PDT, and it will include a new mode, a new gun, and the return of an old gun with some modifications.
In a post today, Epic Games detailed 5.10’s content. One of the biggest editions is Fly Explosives, a limited-time mode that gives players jetpacks and arms them only with explosive weapons. The jetpacks will be tweaked a bit with increased fuel regeneration rates and decreased fuel burn rates to keep players airborne longer than normal when playing Fly Explosives. Epic is also expecting matches to be shorter than 20 minutes thanks to lowered between-storm wait times to help players quickly find the needed loot.

Update 7/31: Check out all the NECA collectibles from this year’s SDCC below.
Toymaker NECA has assembled quite an impressive booth at Comic-Con this year. The company is showcasing new action figures and collectibles covering some familiar franchises, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Aliens and Halloween. However, they’re also expanding in unexpected directions, with retro-flavored figures based on everything from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective to The Golden Girls.
Check out our slideshow gallery for a closer look at the dozens of new NECA figures on display at Comic-Con.
Both the Alien and Predator franchises are well-represented this year, as always. We’re particularly intrigued by the video game-inspired Alien vs. Predator Arcade figures, as well as the early glimpses of NECA’s figures for The Predator. On the TMNT front, NECA debuted their latest quarter scale figure based on the 1990 movie, the Foot Soldier, as well as a new set featuring several villains from the Turtles in Time arcade game. And fans of NECA’s 8-inch MEGO-style figures will be happy with this year’s assortment, with NECA showcasing characters from The Karate Kid, Ace Ventura, The Re-Animator, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and The Golden Girls.
Hearthstone‘s next expansion, The Boomsday Project, is coming up, and as is the tradition, Blizzard is rolling out cards progressively up to the release. GameSpot has just had its own reveal for the new Paladin spell Shrink Ray. You can watch the video above for our reveal, but there’s lots to unpack when it comes to this card, so we’ve put together an in-depth analysis about what this means for Hearthstone and its meta.
The Shrink Ray card is a clear signal that Control Paladin is primed to make a comeback. That’s no small feat. Mike Donais told us that the design team tries to push classes into directions where they’re currently under-developed. Control Paladin was a mainstay of vanilla Hearthstone and lasted through the first few expansions, but more recently expansions have consistently pushed it into a more aggressive direction. Cards like Shrink Ray may be enough to bring it back. The name comes from the ability to control the battlefield and outlast your opponent into the late-game, and this could just be the tool Paladin needs.
Why? In short, it’s a one-card answer to a big board. Paladins have long relied on powerful combos like Equality-Consecration or Wild Pyromancer to clear the board and reset. But if you drew only one part of the combo, you were still out-of-luck. The new card provides a cleaner answer, which could still be combined with Wild Pyromancer in a pinch if you absolutely need a (rather expensive) total board wipe. More often, it will simply make your enemies much less threatening, giving you a chance to heal and reassert board dominance.
It also synergizes well with the Paladin Hero Power, making your 1/1 Silver Hand Recruits able to contest anything the opponent has on the board. On top of that, it fits well into Odd Paladin, with double the Recruits to take down the newly weakened enemy minions. We may also see Paladins experiment with Egg-based decks, since this card gives them an easy way to activate Eggs and makes them extremely easy to break.
Hearthstone: The Boomsday Project launches August 7. Two pre-order bundles are now available–a $50 for 50 pack bundle with a free golden legendary and card back, and a separate $80 for 80 pack bundle that also throws in the Warlock hero Mecha-Jaraxxus. Check out our full gallery of all the revealed cards so far.
