Devil May Cry 5 Digital Deluxe Edition includes a Mega Man-inspired Devil Breaker, among other things.

Devil May Cry 5 got a new trailer at TGS 2018, detailing new weapons for Dante and Nero, the reveal of the mysterious third playable character, V, and Capcom also detailed exclusive in-game items that players can look forward to with the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game.

Titans Added ‘F**k Batman’ Line in Reshoots to ‘Set the Tone’

The "F**k Batman" line that Robin let loose at the end of the first trailer for Titans wasn’t originally planned, as it was added in during reshoots in order to set a particular tone for the series.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dick Grayson/Robin actor Brenton Thwaites elaborated that this particular fight scene needed a punctuation point, and he feels it is an appropriate line for both his character and the show in general.

“We’d already shot that alley fight scene before, and there was no punch to it,” said Thwaites. “There was no real exclamation mark. I think the producers wanted something that would kind of set the tone for the whole show.”
