Margot Robbie Defends Harley Quinn’s Suicide Squad Costume
Actress Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn costume is part of the role's "iconography," according to Suicide Squad director David Ayer.
"Denim overalls" wouldn't be appropriate for the character, he added—and Robbie agreed. Harley Quinn isn't wearing hot pants because "she wanted guys to look at her ass," but rather, "because they're sparkly and fun," the actress said in an interview with The New York Times.
Robbie said she doesn't always feel confident in the outfit, though—particularly after "eating burgers at lunchtime" and then having to "go do a scene where

Stallone Joins Mafia TV Series By Godfather Author
Slyvester Stallone will make his television debut in Antoine Fuqua's adaptation of Omerta.
Omerta is the last book in Mario Puzo's mafia trilogy, which began with The Godfather and The Last Don. Though a network is not yet attached, The Hollywood Reporter says the series could "film as early as this summer." Fuqua's adaptation will reportedly begin being shopped to cable and streaming services soon.
The three-time Oscar nominee is expected to star as the mafia boss the story is centered around. Fuqua's mafia series will be the first scripted television series for the actor, who is best known for his work on the Rocky and Rambo franchises.
Fox Withdraws From Comic-Con Over Piracy Concerns
In a surprising move, 20th Century Fox has withdrawn from appearing at this July's San Diego Comic-Con.
The studio was expected to promote the Assassin's Creed movie there, but they are said to be concerned any footage screened in Hall H would then leak online as happened last year with X-Men: Apocalypse.
Fox reportedly "feels it cannot prevent the piracy of custom trailers and exclusive footage routinely screened for fans in attendance, an individual familiar with the decision told TheWrap. ... The studio will be accounted for in smaller events, like their DreamWorks Animation collaboration Trolls, a second individual close to the studio told TheWrap, who added that footage they would show would be unfinished and far from release."
Master of Orion Hands-On: The Good and the Bad
As a reboot of one of the most beloved strategy game series of all time, Master of Orion was always going to have a tough hill to climb. Namely, it must answer the question: “Why does this exist?” Happily for MOO, it has a strong answer to this: it’s an entry-level strategy game. Unfortunately, there’s still a lot of work to be done beyond that.
The Master of Orion series is what’s called a space “4X” series, short for “explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate.” You start from one planet, and expand your empire to take over the galaxy -- it’s like Civilization in space. MOO’s empires are pure sci-fi goofiness, adapted from the rest of the series: humans, yes, but also the catlike Mrrshan, the robotic Meklar, the genius Psilons, and the intelligent warlike space bears called the Bulrathi. M OO is turn-based on the grand strategy scale, with fast and shiny , if overly simple, combat between fleets.
Fox Developing Prequel to The Omen

The Flash: Man in the Mask Reveal Will Resolve Zoom Mysteries
Who is the man behind the mask in Zoom's lair? That is the big question hanging over The Flash as the series heads toward its Season 2 finale, and star Carlos Valdes promises the reveal will be satisfying.
"I think all the curtains will be drawn and all mysteries will be revealed in terms of Zoom origin, the lair, the Man in the Mask, the identities," he told IGN of how Season 2 will be resolved. "There's an element that's missing that people don't know about yet in which people won't find out about until the Man in the Iron Mask is unmasked."
When asked if he found the reveal to be satisfying or whether this storyline would continue into Season 3, Valdes explained that the identity of the Man in the Mask won't make sense until you get his whole story.
Heroes Rise and Fall in The Dark Knight 3

Nintendo’s New RPG: The Perfect Way to Wait for Persona 5?
I sat down to play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE without fully understanding what it was. We’ve known a Shin Megami Tensei / Fire Emblem crossover was coming for years, but it took putting my hands on the controller to actually comprehend the extent of it, and to realize why this mix is such a good fit.
In case you’re as out of the loop as I was, here are the basics: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is essentially a Shin Megami Tensei game in terms of mechanics. Instead of demons (or, for spinoff fans like myself, Personas), your characters are joined by Mirages, which, in keeping with this crossover’s nature, are Fire Emblem characters. The protagonist, Itsuki, is joined by Fire Emblem Awakening’s Chrom, for example.
