David S. Goyer, the writer/co-writer for such films as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises, will be the executive producer on Spotify's Batman Unburied, an audio drama that will "explore the darker aspects of Bruce Wayne's psychology." Batman Unburied will debut on Spotify in 2021 and is the first original narrative from Spotify, Warner Bros. and DC's multi-year partnership to produce and distribute an original slate of narrative scripted podcasts. Goyer originated the story and, as previously mentioned, will serve as executive producer, which is being developed by Goyer's Phantom Four production company in association with Warner Bros.' Blue Ribbon Content. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ranking-the-batman-movies&captions=true"] “I’ve been a fan of narrative podcasts for some time and was looking for the right story — returning to Batman seems like the perfect opportunity,” said Goyer. “We’ll be using the unique advantages of audio to dig into the more nightmarish members of the Dark Knight’s Rogues Gallery.” Goyer, since his involvements in Nolan's Batman trilogy, co-wrote Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, wrote Man of Steel, and is currently executive producing the upcoming Netflix/Warner Bros. television drama series based on Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.

Disney has officially added the GroupWatch option to the Disney+ platform in the United States after testing the co-viewing feature in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand earlier this month. The GroupWatch feature allows up to seven Disney+ subscribers to sync streams and watch content together, even when apart. Disney's watch party experience is available on all titles in the Disney+ library across several platforms, including web browsers, mobile apps, connected TV boxes and smart TVs. When initiating GroupWatch on a Premier Access title, all participants must have paid for that title. [caption id="attachment_2413770" align="alignnone" width="1707"] Image credit: Disney[/caption] Variety notes that the new GroupWatch feature doesn't include a text chat option, which Disney says has been omitted from the design in an effort to stop viewers from becoming distracted and missing parts of the main event, though participants are invited to share "real-time reactions" with six different emojis available through the Disney+ app. Disney+ subscribers can invite other users to a GroupWatch party via a new icon that is located on the "Details" page of a Disney+ movie or TV series. However, it's important to note that invitations can only "originate from mobile or web," but once the invitations have been sent out to the selected parties, users can join the session from any streaming device or smart TV.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/17/the-mandalorian-season-2-trailer-breakdown"]

The GroupWatch feature is available to all Disney+ subscribers in the US (with the exception of kids' accounts), and each participant in the streaming session can pause, rewind or fast forward video playback for the whole group, including the host. Sadly, European subscribers will have to wait a bit longer to trial the new feature, as it is expected to be rolled out sometime later this fall in that market.

For those that already have access to the GroupWatch feature, start filling up your virtual watch party calendar with our rundown of everything that is coming to Disney+ in October, including the second season of The Mandalorian. Season 2 is set to debut on the platform on October 30 with a whole new cast of scum and villainy, as well as some faithful favourites and one particularly notable scene-stealer.

If you enjoy your post-apocalyptic stories with a clever twist, you'll want to keep an eye on Scout's Honor, a new comic from writer David Pepose (Spencer & Locke) and artist Luca Casalanguida (James Bond). This series is set in a ruined world where a fanatical cult has risen up around a holy relic from mankind's civilized days - a Boy Scout manual. The series revolves around a heroine named Kit - a woman forced to conceal her gender in order to join the Ranger Scouts and survive the harsh Colorado Badlands and the male-dominated society of the post-apocalypse. But when Kit uncovers a dark secret at the core of the Ranger Scouts, she'll have to risk her life and to reveal the truth to the world. Pepose is billing this new series as a mashup of Fallout, Mulan and The Handmaid's Tale, and it's not hard to understand why. Check out a preview of Scout's Honor #1 in the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=scouts-honor-1-preview-the-ultimate-post-apocalyptic-boy-scout-story&captions=true"] The creative team also includes colorist Matt Milla (X-Men Blue) and letterer Carlos M. Mangual (Mystery in Space). The first issue features a main cover from Andy Clarke and Jose Villarrubia and a variant cover from Brent Schoonover. Scout's Honor is published by AfterShock Comics. The first issue is scheduled for release on January 6, 2021. Pepose also recently wrapped up a successful Kickstarter for The OZ, a limited series that gives the Oz books a dark, Mad Max-inspired makeover. And if you haven't checked out Spencer & Locke yet, maybe this video trailer will convince you: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/10/07/spencer-and-locke-is-calvin-and-hobbes-meets-sin-city"] In other comic book Kickstarter news, former NFL star Lance Briggs is making his comic book debut with The Trap, while the amazingly versatile Elsa Charretier recently unveiled a gorgeous hardcover sketchbook.

The Pokemon Company has announced that a link between Pokemon Go and Pokemon Home will be set up "before the end of 2020". This will allow the transfer of Pokemon between the mobile Pokemon Go app and the Pokemon Sword and Shield Nintendo Switch games. Revealed by Pokemon Company President and CEO, Tsunekazu Ishihara, the link will enable Pokemon caught in Pokemon Go to "set off on an adventure in the world of Pokemon Sword and Shield by way of Pokemon Home." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/29/pokemon-sword-and-shield-expansion-pass-updates-full-show"] There's more to the system than just that, too. If you send a Pokemon from Pokemon Go to Pokemon Home, you'll be able to open a Mystery Box in Pokemon Go. Opening the box will cause the mythical Pokemon Meltan to appear on the map within the Pokemon Go app. In addition, you'll also receive a mystery gift in Pokemon Home which contains a special Melmetal capable of Gigantamaxing, for use in Pokemon Sword and Shield. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=pokemon-home-price-and-features&captions=true"] The announcement came as part of an update video about Pokemon Sword and Shield, which also revealed the Crown Tundra DLC release date. For more information, check out everything you need to know about Pokemon Home. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Purslow is IGN's UK News and Entertainment Writer.

The Crown Tundra expansion for Pokemon Sword & Shield will be released on October 22. The Crown Tundra is a snowy new open area being added to the world of Sword & Shield, adding new characters, Pokemon and quests. You'll be able to explore Pokemon Dens, and meet every legendary Pokemon in the series so far – as well as a brand new mythical Pokemon, and new forms of the original legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/29/pokemon-sword-and-shield-crown-tundra-expansion-pass-trailer"] Dynamax Adventures will let you join 3 other trainers to explore caves and take on battles against Dynamax Pokemon. The brief clips we've seen point to choices of route that take you past different Pokemon types. The Galarian Star Tournament will also be added to the game, an endgame event allowing you to battle alongside and against trainers from throughout Sword and Shield. The tournament should offer new story and character elements that weren't available in the main game. On November 6, you'll also be able to buy bundled versions of Pokemon Sword and Shield, alongside their respective expansion passes. No price was given for the bundled version. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/pokemon-sword-and-shield-expansion-pass-updates-full-show"] To celebrate the Crown Tundra announcement, you'll also be able to catch eight versions of Ash's Pikachu, wearing a variety of different caps – each unlocked by Mystery Gift passwords that are entered in-game. Passwords will be available in "various places", but the first – for Pikachu wearing Ash Ketchum's original cap – is P1KACHUGET. You can find instructions for how to redeem the password on the Pokemon website. As far as we know right now, the Crown Tundra expansion will be the final piece of new content for Pokemon Sword & Shield. We awarded the first DLC epxansion, Isle of Armor, a 7/10, calling it "a solid first attempt at DLC in a Pokémon game, even if it’s too short-lived to offer anything that feels like a truly substantial addition beyond the location itself."
