In an interview with Fandango promoting Supergirl, Jason Momoa discussed his character, Lobo’s, past with Superman. Momoa jokingly said they’ve clashed a few times, calling it a “sāsā” – but that they ultimately have a respectful, if sometimes complicated, relationship. This confirms that Lobo and Superman have a history together in the DC Universe, and hints that their connection isn’t a simple hero-villain dynamic.

A Twitter user named @TheDkmariolink recently shared these leaked images, which were quickly taken down – reportedly within a couple of days – because of a copyright claim. This likely means the leaks were genuine.

Released on November 22, 1999, Donkey Kong 64 was a Nintendo 64 exclusive game from Rare, the studio that would later be acquired by Xbox. It aimed to build on the success of both Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong Country. While it received high praise and a Metacritic score of 90, some players initially felt it didn’t quite reach the same heights as its predecessors. Over the years, however, Donkey Kong 64 has become recognized as a classic N64 title. It also marked Rare’s last Donkey Kong game for over two decades, and the series wouldn’t see another 3D platformer until Donkey Kong Bonanza on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025.

Ahsoka Tano has become increasingly significant in the Star Wars universe thanks to her recurring roles in shows like Star Wars Rebels, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka. Notably, The Mandalorian & Grogu has hinted at a major future storyline for her, promising a reunion with a character after 19 years and tying back to her original on-screen debut.

The announcement of God of War Laufey would have been even more impactful if it had come as a total surprise, especially since people have been talking about a possible Until Dawn 2 for a while. Still, I think Santa Monica Studio successfully took control of the reveal by showcasing a lengthy 23-minute video filled with gameplay, cutscenes, and impressive moments.

While previous Spider-Man games let you freely explore a vast New York City, this new game from Insomniac Games is different – it doesn’t have an open world.

Electronic Arts announced on Twitter that they’ll be showing gameplay footage on June 5th at Summer Game Fest, making this news even more significant. Pre-orders are expected to start soon after, with the standard version costing around $49.99 on PC and $59.99 on PlayStation and Xbox. The deluxe edition is rumored to be priced at $59.99 on PC and $69.99 on consoles.

During a surprise appearance at a special screening of Infinity War at SXSW London, Robert Downey Jr. explained that the new Marvel project, Doomsday, will be a fresh start. He said they can’t build on the success of Infinity War and Endgame and need to earn the audience’s trust again. Downey Jr., who famously played Tony Stark throughout the Infinity Saga and will now portray the villain Victor Von Doom, believes they have a good chance of succeeding, especially with directors Joe and Anthony Russo involved. This sentiment mirrored comments made by Joe Russo at the same event, where he emphasized that Doomsday is essentially a reboot, aiming to feel completely new and independent from previous films (via CBR).

This game started as an arcade maze title released by Taito in 1989. It’s best known as a SNES game, though it originally appeared in arcades. Many SNES players might remember it as Cameltry, as the arcade version was later brought to the SNES and X68000 in 1992. However, it wasn’t released under that name in North America or Europe; instead, it was called On the Ball. Cameltry wasn’t a huge hit in arcades, and its SNES performance wasn’t much better – it simply wasn’t very popular. Despite this, it’s been re-released as part of Hamster’s Arcade Archives 2 series on those same platforms. Dedicated fans might already own it, as it was previously included in the Arcade Archives lineup.

The trailers for Supergirl have shown a lot of the story’s space-based chase, but they’ve left out one key element from the comics – until now. Warner Bros. recently released new posters for premium formats like Dolby Cinema, and fans who know the comics will notice something important in the artwork. The posters show Supergirl flying through space with several suns in the background, and one of them is distinctly green. This color is a direct reference to a dangerous sun containing Kryptonite, which orbits the planet Barenton – a powerful weapon created to harm Superman, as seen in the comics by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.
