Why Is Batman Fighting Elmer Fudd?
Did you ever think you'd see the day when Batman added Elmer Fudd to his rogues gallery? Well get ready, because four of DC's most popular superhero characters are about to go to war with the Looney Tunes cast.
Today DC announced a quartet of "DC/Looney Tunes Specials" that mash up the DC and Looney Tunes universes. Check out the covers to all four specials below:
DC didn't reveal any other details about these new books, so we're not sure if they're meant to be isolated one-shots like March's DC/Hanna Barbera crossovers or if we're looking at a full-blown Justice League/Looney Tunes crossover. The idea sounds slightly less strange in the wake of recent crossovers like Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Justice League/Power Rangers.

Gibson was doing a Q & A session at a Feb. 15th screening of his Oscar-nominated war movie Hacksaw Ridge, and was asked by the moderator if the reports about him directing a sequel to Suicide Squad were true. “So is this getting close to a deal or is it a first date?,” the moderator asked, in which Gibson replied, "It’s kind of a first date."

Before Slenderman: Urban Legends That Inspired the Tall Guy
With a new movie hitting this weekend and the inevitable "is Slenderman real or fake" question popping up again, we figured it was time to look once more at some of the many other urban legends that came before the Tall Guy -- and which helped inspire his creation.
A dapper besuited fellow with a blank face and elongated limbs, the “creepypasta” Internet horror creation known as Slenderman was at first the work of one person -- Eric Knudsen (“Victor Surge”) -- writing on a forum called “Something Awful” in 2009. The eerie figure, inspired by everything from the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, and the Silent Hill games, soon found his way into YouTube series and video games of his own, and, tragically, even influenced an infamous 2014 stabbing incident in which two young girls attacked a third girl in order to prove their loyalty to Slenderman.
