One of Batman’s most well-known adversaries made a significant impact in HBO’s popular Penguin series, and another antagonist of the Dark Knight is now set for the big screen in a feature film. According to Variety, DC Studios has given the go-ahead for a movie centered around Clayface, the shape-shifting villain, with Mike Flanagan, creator of Doctor Sleep and The Haunting of Hill House, penning the script as per a source within the production team. Details are scarce, but filming is anticipated to start in early 2025.

The beloved series “Konosuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World!” returned this year with its eagerly awaited third season, and now we have news about some entirely fresh episodes that weren’t broadcast during the initial run. The exceptional “Konosuba” Season 3 was one of the most anticipated shows in the Spring 2024 anime lineup, and when it concluded, it was revealed that the season would continue with a new Original Video Animation (OVA) to be released at a later time. In much the same way as seasons 1 and 2, “Konosuba” will carry on with a fresh special focusing on Kazuma and his companions embarking on a brand-new adventure separate from the main storyline.

It seems that “Friday Night Lights” is making a comeback, but you won’t find the original series streaming in the same place. Following a fierce bidding competition for the revival of the show, Deadline announces that NBC Universal’s Peacock will house the new adaptation of “Friday Night Lights”. Interestingly, it was NBC who initially broadcasted the original series. The team behind the original creation, including Peter Berg (creator), Jason Katims (showrunner), and Brian Grazer (executive producer), are set to bring this project to life once again.

As per Thaddeus Sasser, the director of Marvel Rivals, the main issue with Concord was that it failed to offer anything distinct or special to its players. This statement seems a bit more critical than we would phrase it, but considering Sasser’s success in attracting approximately 10 million players to his game within the past week, his assessment carries significant weight.

Critics are sharpening their criticisms towards “Kraven the Hunter”. The R-rated Sony’s Spider-Man Universe film, set to hit theaters tomorrow, has received its reviews a day early. Given that it follows two other SSU movies this year – “Madame Web” and “Venom: The Last Dance”, it seems that critics are not enthusiastic about watching another SSU movie so soon.
