Wonder Woman: We Think We Know Who This Villain Is
A new Wonder Woman trailer hit today (check it out below), and while it’s full of Themyscirian action and Gal Gadot greatness, we couldn’t help but notice that we still don’t really know who the bad guy is in the film. Sure, there’s the war -- the War to End All Wars, no less! -- but who specifically is Princess Diana gonna be beating the heck out of in the final act of Wonder Woman?
Well, eagle-eyed viewers (who may or may not be wearing golden-eagle chest plates) no doubt noticed the probably-evil lady in the trailer who’s wearing a half-mask on her face. She’s pretty clearly a bad guy, and it’s now looking like she’s a character from Wonder Woman’s past known as Doctor Poison.

Watch Dogs 2 Pre-Orders Below Ubisoft’s Expectations
During a call with investors today, Ubisoft said pre-orders for Watch Dogs 2 were not as high as the company had expected.
The Crew, Rainbow Six Siege, and The Division each have more that 10 million registered players, the company also revealed. A steady flow of updates to its games has helped grow its monthly active user 44 percent over last year.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot explained pre-orders for Far Cry 3 also came in below company expectations in the lead up to the game's release, but positive reception to the game led to high sales none the less.
"People wanted to see if the game was up to standards," Guillemot said during the question and answer period of the call, believing the lower than expected pre-orders for Watch Dogs 2 are the result of a similar situation.
