Omen TV Series Switches Networks
Damien, the upcoming Omen TV series from The Walking Dead's Glen Mazzara, is making a switch.
Originally developed for Lifetime, where it received a straight-to-series order, Damien is changing networks. As a modern continuation of the classic horror film The Omen -- starring Merlin's Bradley James as an adult Damien Thorn unaware of the satanic forces around him -- Damien will now air on sister-network A&E. And with four episodes added to the series order, upping the original six episodes to 10.
Bradley James as Arthur in Merlin.
How Old are Han Solo, the Joker, and Black Widow?
During Microsoft's Build 2015 conference, the company showed off a fun new "How Old Do I Look?" tool that uses facial recognition software to determine your age and gender.
A quick glance at the #HowOldRobot hashtag on Twitter shows that tons of people are using the new tool not just for pictures of themselves, but for professional athletes, actors, cartoon characters, plates of food, and other, even more ridiculous things.
We decided to plug in some of our favorite characters from pop culture, including the Joker, the Hulk, and more. Here are the results.

Star Wars Rebels: Season 2 Premiere Date Announced
The Force will return to TV sooner than expected, as Lucasfilm and Disney HD have announced that Star Wars Rebels: Season 2 will debut on Saturday, June 20th at 9:00pm. Many had expected the show to return closer to when the first season began in the fall, but this year the show is moving up to a summer run.
Season 2 will begin with a one-hour episode, "The Siege of Lothal," which recently screened at Star Wars Celebration. I was able to see that screening and you can read my non-spoilery review now, but suffice to say, this is a jam-packed and very exciting premiere that will be of great interest to Star Wars fans.

Batwing Dinosaur Discovered, Combines Everything Awesome
Chinese scientists have discovered a new type of dinosaur with bat-like wings.
The dinosaur, originally discovered 10 years ago in the China's Hebei province, measured 63 centimeters and weighed around 230 grams, according to a report in Nature. Most interestingly, though, are the dinosaurs wings, which resemble those of a bat more than those of birds and bird-like dinosaurs like the archaeopteryx.

Telltale’s Marvel Game Should Star This C-Tier Hero
The announced partnership between Marvel Studios and Telltale Games inevitably led to fevered speculation of what comic property The Walking Dead developers would tackle in 2017. Minds raced to some of the more obvious choices: The Punisher, Spider-Man, Daredevil. But with all due respect to Frank Castle, Peter Parker, and Matt Murdock, the under-appreciated Moon Knight would serve excellently as the subject of an episodic, dialogue-driven series while also offering new twists and possibilities for Telltale's signature storytelling formula. Allow me to explain.
