Warner Bros. Animation has announced the voice cast for Batman: Soul of the Dragon, an upcoming animated feature executive produced by Bruce Timm, which will take the Dark Knight back to the 1970s. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Grimm star David Giuntoli will headline the feature as the voice of Bruce Wayne/Batman alongside Arrow's Michael Jai White who will reprise his role as Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger for the animated project, which also stars Mark Dacascos as the voice of Richard Dragon, Kelly Hu as Lady Shiva, James Hong as O-Sensei and Josh Keaton as Jeffrey Burr. [caption id="attachment_239224" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image credit: DC/Warner Bros. Animation[/caption] THR notes that Batman: Soul of the Dragon is an original story rather than an adaptation of a specific comic book storyline, with early plot details revealing that the 1970s-set adventure will pit the titular DC hero against "a deadly menace from his past with the help of three former classmates: world-renowned martial artists Richard Dragon, Ben Turner and Lady Shiva." Bruce Timm, the man behind Batman: The Animated Series and so much more, is executive producing the picture, with Sam Liu, a DC animation veteran known for his work on the likes of Reign of the Supermen and Batman: The Killing Joke, directing and producing from a script penned by Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge writer Jeremy Adams. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-10-best-batman-animated-movies&captions=true"] Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Batman: Soul of the Dragon is slated for an early 2021 release. This title joins a growing list of animated films in the DC pipeline, with Superman: Man of Tomorrow and Batman: A Death in the Family both scheduled for release later this year. For more on those projects, read our breakdown of every animated DC movie that we know to be in development alongside Soul of the Dragon.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 will include a classic trick with a new name in honor of the trick's original creator. Skateboarders and fans of the THPS series are likely well aware of what a mute air or mute grab is, but many might not know the history of this trick's name. Tony Hawk took to Instagram to announce that, in the upcoming THPS 1+2 remaster, the trick will have a new name. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=tony-hawks-pro-skate-1-and-2-new-skaters-screenshots&captions=true"] "For nearly 40 years, we've shamelessly referred to this trick as the 'mute' air/grab," Hawk said on his Instagram today. "Here is the backstory: around 1981, a deaf skater and Colton skatepark local named Chris Weddle was a prominent amateur on the competition circuit. The 'Indy' air had just been created and named so somebody proposed that grabbing with the front hand should be known as the 'Tracker' air." Hawk explained that because Weddle was the first to do the trick, the trick should be named after him. Weddle was often referred to as the "quiet, mute guy," Hawk said, and so the mute air was made. Hawk admitted that he and other skaters went along with the name in naivety, not realizing that Weddle might not have agreed with the name. "In recent years, a few people have reached out to Chris (who still skates) about this trick and the name it was given," Hawk said. "He has been very gracious in his response but it is obvious that a different name would have honored his legacy, as he is hearing impaired but not lacking speech. I asked him last year as I was diving into trick origins and he said he would have rather named it the 'deaf' or 'Weddle' grab if given the choice." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/12/tony-hawk-pro-skater-12-remake-warehouse-demo-gameplay"] Hawk said the Weddle's exact words were "I am deaf, not mute." When players boot up THPS 1+2, they'll find that the trick is now called the Weddle Grab. "It's going to be challenging to break the habit of saying the old name but I think Chris deserves the recognition." You can perform the Weddle Grab yourself in THPS 1 + 2 this Friday when the Warehouse Demo goes live on Aug. 14.  Be sure to check out our THPS 1 + 2 remaster Warehosue Demo impressions while waiting for the demo to go live.

Olivia Munn is reportedly in talks to rejoin G4 as a host when the network relaunches in 2021. Munn was one of the original G4 crew before parting ways with her G4 series Attack of the Show to become an actress on the big and small screens. TheWrap reports that Olivia Munn "is in final talks to sign a multiyear deal" with G4, a pact that "will include a development deal and has both on- and off-air components." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2014/04/22/olivia-munn-on-the-demise-of-g4-wondercon-2014"] As an actress, Munn starred in Perfect Couples, Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom, Shane Black's The Predator, and as the mutant Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse. "I had such a great time and such a great experience, but you want to see if you can make other dreams come true," Munn said back in 2011 of her decision to leave G4. G4 recently teased its return and TheWrap claims the network's official announcement of its return as well as Munn's involvement is expected to be made soon.

Why Some Mandalorians Can Remove Their Helmets While Others Can't

There's a weird discrepancy we have to clear up: Mandalorians like Din Djarin never remove their helmets, while others like Bo Katan Kryze and Sabine Wren seem to do it all the time? So what's the difference? Let's sort this out! [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/star-wars-canon-fodder-why-some-mandalorians-can-remove-their-helmets-while-others-cant"]

Action Analysis: Empire Strikes Back's Asteroid Chase

The asteroid chase in Empire is more than just another action scene. The sequence sets the stakes for nothing less than the entire Rebellion, with Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewie and Threepio becoming more than just cool characters fighting with the Rebellion. Watch our Action Analysis of Empire Strikes Back's asteroid chase to learn how, through its action and character interplay, the scene transposes the stakes for the entire fight against the Empire onto the personal stakes of the crew of the Millennium Falcon.

Is Obi-Wan Kenobi the Greatest Jedi of All Time?

There is lots of evidence to suggest Obi-Wan Kenobi is the greatest Jedi of all time but is he really? We take a look at his many duels and battles over the years and examine the ways he learned from them. From Maul to Ventress to Count Dooku and back again, Kenobi takes something away from every one of his engagements. And if you happen to cross him alone in the deserts of Tatooine? We suggest you don't mess with him! [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/obi-wan-kenobi-the-greatest-jedi-of-all-time"]

Ghost of Tsushima players who purchased the standard edition are now able to upgrade to the Digital Deluxe edition for $10.99 USD, which includes access to a 45-minute behind-the-scenes documentary on the game and in-game goodies. These items were previously available to those who purchased either the Digital Deluxe Edition, Special Edition, and Collector's Edition, but now those who loved the game, or wish to learn more about its making, can upgrade and receive many of the bonuses these other's had. These other items include a digital mini art book, 1 Technique Point, a Charm of Hachiman's Favor, and the Hero of Tsushima Skin Set. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/12/ghost-of-tsushima-directors-commentary-preview-video"] PlayStation released a new trailer for the Director's Commentary, which features Ghost of Tsushima's creative director Nate Fox, Sony Interactive Entertainment's Shuhei Yoshida, and Dr. Kazuto Hongo, a professor at the Historiographical Institute at the University of Tokyo, discussing the history behind Ghost of Tsushima. Ghost of Tsushima was released in July 2020, and, in our review, we said, "Ghost of Tsushima is an enormous and densely packed samurai adventure that often left me completely awestruck with both its visual spectacle and excellent combat. By steadily introducing new abilities instead of stat upgrades, its swordplay manages to stay challenging, rewarding, and fun throughout the entire 40 to 50 hours that it took me to beat the campaign." For more on Ghost of Tsushima, which had PS4's fastest-selling first-party original IP debut, be sure to check out how the weather will change based on your playstyle and how the open world changed during development.
