Jim Lee, J.K. Rowling Bring Harry Potter to Comics for a Cause
J.K. Rowling and co-publisher of DC Comics Jim Lee are bringing Harry Potter to comics for the first time.
Potter's comic debut will be a part of Love Is Love, an anthology created to honor the victims of the mass shooting at Orlando's Pulse nightclub earlier this year, according to The New York Times. The image features Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Dumbledore, as well as a quote from the Hogwarts headmaster that comes from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: "Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open."
Nintendo Switch Reportedly Runs Much Slower When Not Docked
Leaked specs of the Nintendo Switch point to some sacrifices in power when the console is taken out of its dock.
A report from Eurogamer, sourcing from and adding to news from a VentureBeat report, shows the graphical processing unit on the Switch operates at 307.2MHz when undocked. Docked, the GPU can run at 768MHz.
However, developers have the option to run their games on the slower configuration even when the unit is plugged into the dock, to keep consistency across portable and home use.

Dark Tower: New Poster Teases Roland and Jake’s Journey
Sony has released a new poster for its upcoming fantasy movie, The Dark Tower.
The poster, seen below, was revealed by Sony Pictures on Twitter. It features Idris Elba's Roland the Gunslinger walking alongside Tom Taylor's Jake Chambers with the quote, "May your days be long upon the Earth."
"May your days be long upon the Earth" is a repeated greeting used in Stephen King's The Dark Tower novels, making this the latest nod to his source material in the film's publicity campaign. Earlier this year, Elba tweeted an image that featured a nod to the Gunslinger creed from the books: "Remember the face of your father." More recently, Taylor shared a photo of Jake at a crossroads between worlds, with Jake's iconic quote, "There are other worlds than these."

Rumor: Arkham Origins Team Cancels Suicide Squad Project
WB Games Montreal, the studio behind Batman: Arkham Origins, has reportedly cancelled an unannounced Suicide Squad game and is instead now focusing on a Damian Wayne Batman game.
According to unnamed sources speaking to Kotaku, the reported Suicide Squad project had been in development for at least two years and was possibly even a co-op game. The game failed to impress executives at Warner Bros. and was cancelled after "a long period of turbulence at WB Montreal" according to the report.
Instead, the report states that WB Games Montreal’s current project, a Damian Wayne game, was originally going to be revealed at the beginning of December, according to Kotaku's sources. Kotaku's report suggests the announcement may have been pushed back due to key WB Games Montreal employees leaving the company and the hiring of new studio head Stephane Roy.
