After being initially announced last month, WB Games and Rocksteady have given fans of the upcoming Batman: Arkham Shadow a glimpse at the game’s story with a new trailer. The game is currently in development for the Meta Quest 3, with a Fall 2024 release.
Set between the events of Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham Shadow takes place during the Fourth of July, where Gotham City is besieged by the mysterious Rat King and his cultish devotees. Public officials have been abducted, including Commissioner Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent. The Rats have pledged to execute them in one week’s time for “crimes committed against the people of Gotham City.”
Arkham Shadow will feature the origins of iconic characters like The Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, and more, as Batman grapples with the contradiction at the core of his identity—the use of force in pursuit of peace.

Pavement celebrated a major achievement this weekend: “Harness Your Hopes,” a B-side later placed on the 1999 EP Spit on a Stranger, has achieved Gold status from the RIAA. It marks Pavement’s first ever RIAA certification.
“Harness Your Hopes” was originally recorded for Pavement’s fourth studio album Brighten the Corners, but frontman Stephen Malkmus opted not to include it on the album “for no good reason,” and relegated it to B-side status. Years later, however, “Harness Your Hopes” received a major boost in streaming numbers around 2017, has since gone viral on TikTok, and has now been certified as selling over 500,000 units.
The song’s original spike in notoriety hasn’t been tied to anything specific, but Stereogum attributed the rise in streaming numbers to a 2017 change in Spotify’s algorithm. It then exploded in popularity around 2020 when TikTok users began posting choreographed dances to the track.

It started simply enough, with a discussion building on X (formerly Twitter) about why the Tina Fey-created “30 Rock” hasn’t seemed to generate the same warm nostalgia that “The Office” and, to a lesser extent, “Parks and Recreation” have in the decade since their 2000s into 2010s runs. That’s despite the show — which ran for seven seasons from 2006 to 2013 on NBC and won 16 Emmys including three Outstanding Comedy Series awards — being noted for the quality and density of its joke-writing
One take that caught on was Quinton Hoover noting that, while “30 Rock” is the funniest, its lead Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) “is much less inherently relatable than people working mundane and mostly pointless jobs out of necessity for a decade.” In the show, Lemon is the head writer for a sketch comedy series on NBC, inspired by Fey’s time as head writer for “Saturday Night Live.

On Oct. 26, 2022, Elon Musk enjoyed his first and last good day as the head of Twitter (now X). Following a $44 billion acquisition he tried to scuttle but was legally forced into closing, he attempted a bit of prop comedy — entering the company’s headquarters with a porcelain sink while flashing a mischievous smile. It was all the setup to a groaner of a pun announcing his arrival: “Let that sink in!” he declared in the video caption of his entrance. It was a master class in cringe.

While much of the initial fanbase that helped turn Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into a pop culture phenomenon aged out following the original cartoon (1987-1996) and live action movies (1990-1993), the property has continued to flourish with reboots in TV, film, and comics every few years.
If the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem has you interested in exploring various versions of Tmnt, there’s no better place for a horror fan to start than Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series that aired for five seasons between 2012 and 2017.
While there’s an inherent connection to horror in the various mutants and monsters that pop up throughout the franchise, no rendition embraces the genre nearly as much as this one. In addition to references to classics like Alien, Friday the 13th, and The Evil Dead, the series employed several notable horror actors throughout its 124-episode run.

It seems like just last year the The Walking Dead came to an end. That’s probably because it was only just last year that The Walking Dead‘s flagship series concluded for good with its 11th season finale.
But, like any good zombie, The Walking Dead can’t truly die. The end of the series based on Robert Kirkman’s beloved comics is just the beginning of its many spinoffs. Among those spinoffs are the eighth and final season of Fear the Walking Dead, the untitled Rick and Michonne continuation, and the The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Also queued up for the franchise, however, will be a series that combines two of the show’s unlikeliest heroes: Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan) and Negan Smith (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
The Manhattan-set Maggie and Negan adventure, The Walking Dead: Dead City is set to premiere Sunday, June 18 at 10 p.m. Et on AMC.

HBO's "The Last of Us" takes place in a world forever changed by a cordyceps brain infection caused by the cordyceps fungus. The fungus turns people into powerful, mushroom-y zombies. The infected have ravaged through America, wreaking havoc on the country and the people living there, including Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey).
The show is based on the video game of the same name, and that game first introduced the taxonomy of zombies that the show uses: runner, stalker, clicker, and bloater. Ahead, we're breaking them all down and how each zombie stage flows into the other.
"The Last of Us" Zombies: Runners
Runners are the first type of zombie, transformed from people who are newly infected. If a person is bitten in their upper body, they'll turn into a runner zombie in mere minutes. If they're bitten on one of their extremities like an arm or leg,...

Like so many other video game adaptations before it, "The Last of Us" had a long road to traverse before the cameras finally started rolling. This might be a little hard to believe, given the immense popularity of the franchise and the fact that it basically plays out like a movie already. Sure enough, Hollywood was basically interested right off the bat, and it's not hard to understand why.
When first released in 2013, "The Last of Us" quickly became the fastest-selling game in years. It won year-end accolades from various publications and ceremonies, including multiple Game of the Year awards. Seven years later the sequel followed suit and now holds the record for most Game of the Year awards, ever. Between them, they've sold more than 37 million copies. As for the story, it's a zombie survival adventure about a man who becomes the surrogate father to an orphan girl and...

The producers of 2003’s Willard chose to nix “remake” from the film’s marketing vocabulary, but 2003’s Willard adaptation is irrefutably a remake of 1971’s furry social outcast chiller. At the forefront of 2000s remake trends, Glen Morgan‘s Willard features altered themes and a deeper thirst for suspense, going the “darker and grittier” route displayed by subsequent studio remakes (including Morgan’s 2006 Black Christmas slasher). Stephen Gilbert’s novel Ratman’s Notebooks inspires both pictures, although neither dare touch the subplot about “Ratman Robberies” — the narrator steals money from shopkeepers and neighbors before the whole workplace murder climax. Where’s my movie about a criminal aided by rat accomplices? Rat King in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will do, I guess.
It’s daffy to think that 2003’s Willard was hidden as a remake when you watch them back-to-back, but the general moviegoer wouldn’t know any different. That’s...

Major civil rights organizations including the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League are calling on advertisers to boycott Twitter. In a statement released Friday afternoon, NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson wrote that “until [actions] are taken to make Twitter a safe space, corporations cannot in good conscience put their money behind Twitter.” Johnson affirmed that “Twitter must earn its advertisers by creating a platform that safeguards our democracy and rids itself of any account that spews hate and misinformation.”
NAACP Derrick Johnson calls for total advertising boycott on Twitter after meeting with Elon Musk.
