Harley Quinn: New Adult Animated Series In Production
Harley Quinn is set to get another spin-off - this time she'll be starring in an adult-oriented DC animated series.
According to Deadline, the series will simply be called 'Harley Quinn', and DC's streaming service has ordered 26 half-hour episodes. It will be aimed at an adult audience.

Clicker Heroes Studio Ditching Free-To-Play for ‘Ethical Reasons’
Playsaurus, the studio behind Clicker Heroes, is abandoning free-to-play for its next game citing "ethical reasons" over addictive behavior as a core reason.
When forced to choose between a paid upfront model, similar to traditional games, or a free-to-play model, as in Clicker Heroes 1, the studio will adopt the former for upcoming game Clicker Heroes 2. It will cost $29.99 and be fully refundable for a year after launch, according to a post by Fragsworth, one of the game's developers.
The reason for the change is concern that the players who spend the most money supporting the game may be victims of addictive behavior. Despite designing the game largely without the real-money shop in mind, the studio found that "some number of players spent many thousands of dollars on

Lord and Miller Finally Comment on Han Solo Star Wars Departure
Directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord have described the reason they were sacked from the upcoming Han Solo Star Wars spin-off film, Solo. The pair discussed their removal from the project for the first time in public during a panel at the Vulture Festival in Los Angeles, reports Vulture.
“The experience of shooting the movie was wonderful,” said Lord. “We had the most incredible cast and crew and collaborators. I think in terms of us leaving the project, I think everybody went in with really good intentions and our approach to making the movie was different than theirs. That was a really big gap to bridge, and it proved to be too big.”
Plants vs. Zombies Creator Reportedly Fired by EA
The original creator of Plants vs. Zombies, George Fan, was reportedly let go by publisher EA several years ago after objecting to the pay-to-win model that was subsequently introduced into the series.
Fan's story was only recently told by his friend Edmund McMillen, the mastermind behind The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy. Speaking on Alex Larrabee's Roundtable Podcast, McMillen said that Fan was headhunted by PopCap, where he made Plants vs. Zombies with a very small team. It was, as we all know, hugely successful for the company, but McMillen stresses that it was made with an indie mindset back in 2009.
