With Felicity guiding him from the bunker, Oliver is forced to deal with a city that has become overrun with both criminals and a slew of new (and painfully inexperienced) vigilantes. Watching Oliver try to balance his jobs as both the mayor and also the protector of Star City, Felicity suggests he form a new team, but Oliver resists. However, when a deadly new criminal, Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman), enters the picture, Oliver realizes the best thing for the city might be a new team of superheroes. Meanwhile, the flashbacks take us to Russia where Oliver faces off against the Bratva.”

Ben Affleck Solo Batman Film "A Year and a Half Out"

Ben Affleck Solo Batman Film "A Year and a Half Out"

The Dark Knight will Return... eventually

By Alex Burns



Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes was speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia this week and has offered up a possible schedule for the released of Ben Affleck's solo Batman film. Bewkes was quoted as saying the following:

“Ben announced a Batman movie [that] he’s going to direct, star, write for – I think it’s a year and a half out.”

So the solo Batman film is locked for March 2018? Well not quite, so before you go booking any time off work let's be clear that we still don't know whether this is the release date of the film proper or simply a production start date. Based on the timetable Bewkes provided that release window would also put the Batman film at loggerheads with the upcoming Flash solo film, which is currently set for release on March 16, 2018. Anyone taking bets on a Batman v Flash film? Just kidding...

It's long been speculated that Warner Bros. would pencil the Ben Affleck directed Batman film into one of the two "untitled" DC movie slots. These were announced prior to Batman v Superman and read as October 5, 2018 and November 1, 2019 on the studio release schedule. Those dates seem far more feasible as the nature of a big blockbuster production, especially a Batman film, normally requires 2 years at minimum.

You never know though, the project could be a heck of a lot further along than we know. Joe Manganiello has recently been confirmed to play the villain, Deathstroke, in the film and there was even some pretty sweet looking footage to go with that announcement. Despite Ben Affleck saying he would not want to go into production without a finished script who knows if some solo Batman footage has already been shot with sets and actors being available during the Justice League production?




The mystery continues, for now you can look forward to checking out more Batman action on November 17th, 2017 when the dark knight will appear alongside Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg in Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Naughty Dog are celebrating the fictitious Outbreak Day from their 2013 hit videogame The Last of Us. Outbreak Day is referred to within the game as September 26th, the day the Cordyceps Virus reached "Critical Mass" and basically signalled the end of humanity as we know it.

While this may be a somber occassion for Joel and Ellie to reflect on all of their horrible experiences since the outbreak, it's an excuse for the rest of us to remember a wonderful game and get all nostalgic.

Naughty Dog will celebrate the ocassion and release a special Outbreak Day theme on the Playstation Network as well providing "significant discounts on The Last of Us Remastered, the Left Behind standalone expansion, and "select" multiplayer add-ons. We've even got a 20% discount on all Last of Us apparel available at the Playstation Gear Store




The cool poster shown above is a collaboration between Naughty Dog and Mondo, with art be Kevin Tong. The poster will be available to purchase at mondotees.com with quantities seriously limited because Mondo is great at making things everyone wants but only ever having enough for like five people. I kid... but seriously... good luck in getting one...

The Last of Us is one of the greatest games of all time and while we await the day developer Naughty Dog decides to announce it's sequel, we will make do with this.
