A 12-Year-Old DC Movie Is Surging Back Onto the Streaming Charts (& We Know Why)

Lately, Superman has experienced several revamps, causing die-hard supporters distress and confusing casual viewers.

In this reimagined narrative, Superman’s spaceship doesn’t descend in the cornfields of Kansas but rather lands close to Gotham City. There, he is adopted by Thomas and Martha Wayne, who name him Bruce. His early life is blissful until the tragic event that frequently befalls these two parents occurs—they are murdered in front of young Bruce, leading him to unintentionally use his heat vision to kill Joe Chill in retaliation. As an adult, haunted by guilt and driven by a desire to combat crime in Gotham, Bruce unearths his spaceship hidden within Wayne Manor. He adopts the identity of Batman, determined to mete out punishment to wrongdoers. This version of Batman is not only superpowered but also more vengeful than usual, battling not just criminals but also the inner demons of guilt and failure.

If you’re a fan of either Batman or Superman, this tale is definitely worth exploring.

Next Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Update to Remove Guitar Hero Easter Egg

While scrolling through the THPS subreddit, I stumbled upon a post by user will-powers that caught my eye. It featured what appears to be a Guitar Hero box casually tossed in a trash can, seemingly hidden away on the new Waterpark level from the THPS 3 + 4 remake. Now, it might just be a fun Easter egg placed by Iron Galaxy, but some members of our gaming community are taking offense to this, seeing it as a disregard for the original developers, Neversoft.
