10 Biggest Unanswered Questions from Batman v Superman
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is kicking Warner Bros.' DC Extended Universe into high gear, setting up the next nine announced films in the franchise and establishing the groundwork for the cinematic universe of the Justice League.
Understandably, laying that groundwork means introducing a lot of questions to be answered farther down the road. With that in mind, here are the 10 biggest unanswered questions from Batman v Superman that we hope get resolved.
Yes, it seems to signify that Superman can and will come back, but what is actually happening with the dirt rising from Clark Kent's grave at the end of the film? Is it just Snyder's visual cue for the audience that this is not the end? Or is there some explanation that will become pivotal later?
Sharknado 4 Gets Release Date, Star Wars-Inspired Title
The fourth installment in Syfy's television movie franchise Sharknado will premiere on July 31 at 8pm ET/PT.
In addition to announcing the release date, Syfy and The Asylum also revealed the film's official title -- Sharknado: The 4th Awakens -- which clearly draws inspiration (and pokes a bit of fun) at Disney's latest entry in the Star Wars saga.
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens is set five years after Sharknado 3, during which time, "Fin (Ian Ziering), his family and the cosmos have been blissfully sharknado-free." Naturally, things take a horrifying turn for the worst, when "sharks – and ‘nados! – are being whipped up in places (and ways) least expected."
In March, Syfy announced Tara Reid will return as April Wexler, joining Ziering's Fin, as well as David Hasselhoff's Gil Shepard and Ryan Newman's Claudia Shepard. The 4th Awakens also features several newcomers, including Imani Hakim, Cody Linley, Gary Busey, Tommy Davidson, Masiela Lusha and Cheryl Tiegs.
Tesla Reveals $35k Model 3 Electric Car
Tesla Motors has revealed the prototype of their next car, the Model 3. The latest all-electric vehicle from the California car company is a mid-sized sedan with a base price of $35,000 before federal or state-level tax incentives.
That $35k base price will include a range of at least 215 miles, free access to Tesla's network of high-speed Supercharger stations, a zero-to-60mph acceleration time of less than six seconds (though CEO Elon Musk also promised that higher-performance variants will be available), and Autopilot hardware (which is likely to require a one-time software-unlocking fee, similar to Tesla's Model S and Model X; Autopilot "safety features," presumably including things like automatic emergency braking, are part of the $35k base price). Musk also promised that the Model 3 will have a five-star NTHSA safety rating in every category, not just an overall five-star rating.
Kevin Smith: BvS Actually Has Some Heart
Clerks filmmaker and comic book enthusiast Kevin Smith had harsh words for Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice just earlier this week. Though on his second time around, it seems the star liked the film a bit more.
In a recent Instagram post, the director wrote he "actually found heart" in Batman v Superman, despite previous comments that Batman v Superman "didn't really have a heart."
"It's in the viewer," Smith said. "And the viewer I watched the blockbuster with the second time was all agog, eyes as big as saucers."
How to Watch All of Outlander: Season 1 for Free
If you missed the stellar first season of Starz's time-traveling historical fantasy series Outlander -- or you just want to watch it again to prep for the upcoming premiere of Season 2 -- then here's some exciting news: Starz is making the entire first season available to stream online for free.
Outlander's 16-episode first season is available to watch through Starz Play and On Demand, and through other select U.S., cable and satellite and telco affiliates.

Created by Battlestar Galactica showrunner Ron Moore and adapted from Diana Gabaldon's best-selling novels, Outlander follows the adventures of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) as she finds herself catapulted back in time 200 years, traveling from the 1940s to the 18th century Scotland highlands. There she meets Highlander Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), and finds herself drawn to him as they deal with outlaw status, claims of witchcraft and the villainous English soldier Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies).
Daily Deals: PS Plus, Xbox Live, Star Wars: The Force Awakens
$10 off is as good a discount as I ever see these days, so even if you're PS Plus isn't running out, consider adding a year to your subscription while you can get it at this price.
I see years of Xbox Live go for $35 somewhat regularly, so if you have time you can hold out, but if your subscription is about to run out, you'd might as well save $20 on your next year of Live.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice may still be raking it in at the box office, but that doesn't mean director Zack Snyder is holding back in teasing what fans can possibly expect in the upcoming Justice League movie.

Speaking on The Empire Film Podcast, Snyder had a few tongue-in-cheek words to say about Darkseid and the appearance of his symbol in Batman v Superman, referring to it as a "giant impression in the ground."
