Now that Black Ops 7 is available, players are finding several frustrating issues with the campaign. It’s really surprising these problems made it into the final release, and many are disappointed with the current state of the single-player experience.

DC Comics often has trouble bringing its strongest villains to life on screen. Doomsday looked unimpressive in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Darkseid didn’t make much of an impact in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. However, there are several villains who could help DC improve its track record. Here are five incredibly powerful DC villains that haven’t been featured in a movie yet.
From the start, the “H2SH” comic has been problematic. Though the creators of the original “Hush” story, Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, teamed up again over twenty years later for this sequel, it hasn’t resonated with fans. Aside from significant delays that caused “H2SH” to launch at the same time as a new Batman comic, the storyline feels disjointed and disregards established history. Issue #162 of Batman (2016) is the fifth installment in this disappointing series, and the very first page perfectly illustrates everything that’s wrong with it.
The game’s story mode also received a lot of criticism when it first came out. While it looked polished, the single-player campaign only lasted about six hours and had a plot that was easy to guess. It started with some interesting ideas but quickly made them too simple, wasting their potential. Even now, years later, it’s disappointing to think about how great the Battlefront II campaign could have been.
I’ve been following the development of Edgar Wright’s The Running Man adaptation with a lot of excitement, and it’s fascinating to hear about his approach. He really wanted to stay truer to Stephen King’s original novel than the 80s movie did, but naturally, some changes were made for the screen. The biggest shift, and the one I think was most thoughtfully done, was the ending. In the book, the hero crashes a plane, which would understandably bring up difficult memories for many. Wright made the call to alter that, and thankfully, King himself signed off on it! It’s great to now hear directly from King about how he feels about the new direction—it sounds like he’s really pleased with how it turned out.
To celebrate Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker’s 50th birthday on November 14th, his wife shared a heartfelt message highlighting the qualities she admires most about him.
Researchers have demonstrated a novel method for manipulating quantum states in many-body systems using programmable arrays of Rydberg atoms.
No film using Frankenstein’s name feels as distant from Mary Shelley’s original story as Frankenstein Conquers the World (known as Frankenstein vs. Baragon in Japan). Like many films directed by Ishirō Honda, it’s a monster movie focused on a creature rampaging through a village. However, while it shares a name with Shelley’s novel, it’s quite different in tone and style from other famous kaiju films like Gojira and Rodan.
