Sea of Thieves First Major DLC The Hungering Deep Gets A Release Date
Microsoft and Rare have revealed Sea of Thieves' first expansion, The Hungering Deep, will arrive on May 29.

Why Batwoman Creates New Problems for the Arrowverse
Update: And now it is being reported that a Batwoman series is in development at The CW in addition to the planned crossover featuring the character. Read on for our thoughts on how this could create problems for the Arrowverse.
