New Doctor Strange Promo Turns Back Time, Contains Hidden Messages
A brief new TV spot for Doctor Strange released today, which races through Steven Strange’s origin story in reverse (and contains hidden dialogue when replayed backwards), is being met with speculation that the footage is further evidence of the pending debut of a new Infinity Stone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the Time Stone.
Check out the spot as it originally aired:
And now in reverse:
It’s yet to be confirmed but many fans are convinced that Strange’s amulet – the Eye of Agamotto – is the Time Stone. This new time-bending trailer is certainly lending the theory a great deal of credibility.
Legend of Korra Graphic Novel Gets a Release Date
The first installment of The Legend of Korra’s three-part graphic novel series from Dark Horse will be released in June, 2017.
Entertainment Weekly reports that the first part will be called Turf Wars, with series co-creator Michael DiMartino and artist Irene Koh working on the graphic novel. The show’s other co-creator, Bryan Konietzko, is only providing feedback.
Turf Wars will pick up right where the show left off, with Korra and Asami trying to save Republic City from the chaos caused by the spirit portal and the triads, and a greedy developer who wants to turn the city into an amusement park.
The Flash: How Flashpoint Compares to the Comics
The Flash started off its third season on an ambitious note. The premiere episode "Flashpoint" adapted the comic book mini-series of the same name. But while the two versions of Flashpoint share certain basic similarities, this episode was, at best, a very loose adaptation of the source material.
We explored whether that's a good or bad thing in our "Flashpoint" review, but we thought it would be a good idea to dig a little deeper into Flashpoint and explore just how the two versions compare.
Full spoilers for "The Flash" continue below.
The Flashpoint comic was written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Andy Kubert, and it was published as DC's flagship comic during the summer of 2011. The comic presented a dark, almost post-apocalyptic vision of the DC Universe wherein many familiar heroes were MIA and the Amazons and Atlanteans were locked in a perpetual, destructive war.
What Comes After Marvel’s Luke Cage
Marvel's Luke Cage might have just come out on Friday, but if you raced to the end of its 13 episodes like we did, you're likely already ready for more.
Fortunately, Marvel and Netflix have plenty on the horizon, and with Iron Fist's newly announced premiere date, the wait is going to be bearable. Here's a breakdown of what's coming up for Netflix's offerings in the MCU.
Marvel's Iron Fist will serve as an origin story for Danny Rand (Finn Jones), the fourth and final of Marvel's street-level heroes to be introduced before The Defenders. His standalone series will be his debut into the MCU, though there were some Easter eggs layered into Luke Cage that hint at how the shows will all connect together.

Becoming Batman: Behind the Scenes of Arkham VR
As far as launch games for new VR hardware goes, Sony has scored a home run with Batman Arkham VR for its new headset. It is, as reported, as close to putting on Batman’s cowl as it gets without actually being Batman; a disorientating, discombobulating, incredibly immersive experience.
For developer Rocksteady, showing it off is a pleasure. Having called an end to the studio’s Batman long-service after last year’s Arkham Knight, Batman Arkham VR was a spontaneous project that was built under very little pressure. “We started to just toy around with it, and see what VR was all about,” says producer Dax Ginn. “Our initial objective wasn't to do anything, but as gamers, we were sort of interested.”

Back to the Future fans finally have a chance to grab their very own pair of Nike MAGs, the self-tying sneakers worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part II. But according to CNN, you'll have to bet all your hopes on a lottery drawing. Nike has only made 89 pairs — a nod to the year of the film's release — with proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
