This New Batman Comic Shows His Penis, and Everyone is Freaking Out
Batman: Damned #1 may feature Batman on a supernatural quest where he crosses paths with the likes of John Constantine and Zatanna, but what has people talking about the new comic is the use of full-frontal nudity. Yes, that's right, DC just showed Batman's penis for the first time.
Batman: Damned is the first series under the new DC Black Label line of comics for mature readers, which is what gave writer Brian Azzarello and artist Lee Bermejo license to include images of the Wayne family jewels, among other more adult content. What follows is the reaction from fans on the internet as they learned of this latest surprise, including our own video reaction below:
THQ Nordic Acquires Alone in the Dark, Act of War
The acquisition train that is THQ Nordic seemingly won’t end, as it has acquired two new intellectual properties: the horror franchise Alone in the Dark, and the real-time strategy franchise Act of War.
Announced by THQ Nordic’s Twitter account, both of these properties were previously held by Atari, though Alone in the Dark is a much more well-known entity. Although its early ‘90s releases are still generally well regarded and considered to be forerunners of the horror genre, later releases received mostly negative reviews. Its 2005 film adaptation received a particularly poor reception as well.
Venom: New Information About Why Symbiotes Come to Earth
While Venom's story hinges around one symbiote in particular (you know, the title character who bonds with Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock), it's no secret that the new Sony film will feature several of the mysterious aliens that have come to Earth.
When IGN visited the set of Venom earlier this year, the production team behind the movie explained why and how the symbiotes ended up on Earth to begin with.
"We see, at the beginning of the film, the moment when the symbiotes are collected up by a Life Foundation space probe, which finds them on a comet drifting through space, approaching Earth. And the space probe is out there looking for signs of life, and they can’t believe their luck. Tthere’s life signals everywhere, all across this asteroid," explained VFX supervisor Paul Franklin.
7 Marvel Characters Who Deserve a Streaming Series
Disney's upcoming streaming service just became that much more appealing with the news that Loki and Scarlet Witch are among several Marvel Cinematic Universe characters who may be getting their own shows.
It would seem that Disney wants to use their streaming service (possibly called Disney Play) to spotlight characters who have built up a fan following but haven't received the solo movie treatment.
While both Loki and Scarlet Witch are strong candidates, that's just the tip of the iceberg. We've picked out seven other characters/teams we think would be ideal for the streaming service, along with some key comic storylines these shows could adapt.
