Superman Would Beat Batman in, Like, a Second
One of the most debated comic book superhero match-ups is Batman versus Superman. But it makes no sense why the outcome of this fight is so hotly debated when it is painfully obvious that Superman would utterly destroy Batman in, like, a second.
I know what you’re about to say: "But Batman always has a plan!" And you’re not wrong. While it’s true that he’s the world’s foremost detective/billionaire/fake-playboy/tactician, none of that helps much in a straight-up, one-on-one fight to the death. And of course we’re disregarding morality here for this “what if” scenario.
The two have fought many times in the comics, and Batman actually wins a lot, but there was usually some sort of unfair restriction placed on Superman.
Fear the Walking Dead: Season 2 Poster Reveal
When we left Fear the Walking Dead at the end of Season 1, our main characters had made it out of Los Angeles and to the beachfront, aligned with a mysterious man named Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) inside his stocked self-powered coastal mansion. With a yacht not far off shore.
Now Fear the Walking Dead's new Season 2 poster is showing us that heading out into the ocean, aboard that ship, may not be the best idea. Check it out...

Alan Wake’s Return Trademark Is Not for a Game
It looks like we'll be waiting a bit longer for an Alan Wake sequel.
A trademark was spotted last month for "Alan Wake's Return," however, developer Remedy has clarified that it's not for a new game.
According to Kotaku, the trademark is for an in-game live-action video series starring Sam Lake, Remedy's creative director. "A big part of the trademarking process all in all is the legalities of it," Lake said to Kotaku. "Just making sure everything is covered."
Lake said there is "no real news about anything future Alan Wake-related." However, he didn't shut down the possibility of the franchise continuing, saying "we are exploring possibilities and concepting different things, but lots needs to click into place for anything to happen. We will be the first to talk about it when there is something definite to talk about."
Super Famicom-Themed New 3DS XL Coming to Japan
Japan is getting another style of New 3DS XL based on one of Nintendo's classic consoles.
Nintendo revealed the unique model during the latest Japanese Nintendo Direct and posted a photo on Twitter. It's based on the Super Famicom, the Japanese basis for the classic Super Nintendo in the West.
Based on the picture, the 3DS comes with the expected monochrome color scheme, with blue, green, yellow, and red face buttons based on those of the Japanese system's controller. The back of the 3DS includes faux power, reset, and eject buttons, as well as the "Nintendo Super Famicom" logo.

So yes, a ton happened in “Thirteen" -- you can read my review by clicking here -- as we got major revelations on Alie, Alie 2 and how it all connected to Lexa and the entire line of Commanders…
…but it was all tied into the death of Lexa, as she was accidentally shot by Titus (Neil Sandilands) and had an emotional farewell with her beloved Clarke (Eliza Taylor).
Relive the Colony Scene that Changes Everything
Life isn't getting any easier for the Bowmans on Colony. Full spoilers for the latest episode, "In from the Cold," continue below.
In the latest episode of USA's new sci-fi drama, Will Bowman (Josh Holloway) is faced with the unavoidable truth that his wife Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies) is working for the Resistance, and has been leaking information to the people he had been trying to combat. Watching it once wasn't enough? Relive the moment below in IGN's exclusive Colony clip:
Meanwhile, Colony has launched a cool new interactive website, Colonytv.com, that features games and weekly "missions" that tie into the TV show. There's currently the Drone Escape game that allows users to pilot their own drone. The bonus to interacting with the website is the opportunity to win one of two show-themed vacation getaways (which hopefully don't involve having alien Hosts take over your life) and other smaller prizes.
Pokémon Go Live in Japan for Field Test
The Pokémon Company and developer Niantic are about to hold a "field test" for their upcoming mobile game Pokémon Go.
The test will invite a limited number of players to use the app before launch. The idea is for the early users to offer feedback to be incorporated in the game's final release. Which is to say, despite the wording, that it's pretty much a beta test.
Right now the test is only announced specifically for Japan, although a statement from The Pokémon Go development team promises it "will expand to other countries in the weeks to come." No details were given on which countries those might be or when they can expect access.
We were originally meant to receive more Pokemon GO details at GDC 2016. However, those plans were cancelled shortly before the conference. This "field test" might then be our next, best look into the much-anticipated Pokémon game.

Green Lantern Won’t Be in 1st Justice League Movie
Warner Bros. may have officially announced a Green Lantern Corps. movie for 2020, but fans had been expecting to see the emerald crusader in Justice League: Part One, which begins filming next month. Not so fast as it turns out.
Justice League, Batman v Superman producer Charles Roven told Entertainment Weekly that the soonest fans will see Green Lantern back on the big screen is in 2019's Justice League: Part 2 ... or maybe even later.
“Every beat of the movie is not yet worked out. So there’s the possibility that he may or may not be in Justice League 2,” said Roven. “For now, we felt that we were introducing enough characters that the best possible place we could put Green Lantern is some introduction in Justice League 2, or barring that, a movie after.”
