The main villain behind The CW’s Batman spin-off Gotham Knights has just been revealed over a month before the March 14 premiere.Following the announcement of the DC Studios slate, fans now know there are plenty of exciting movies and shows on the way in the years to come from the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran. But before then, there are still some remnants of the old regime set to trickle out this year, including The CW’s Gotham Knights....

A new glimpse at The Mandalorian’s third season landed, and it included a glimpse of more Jedi who aren’t Ahsoka or Luke Skywalker.One thing that really sets The Mandalorian apart from most live-action Star Wars projects is how it doesn’t focus on the Jedi. Of course, it wasn’t the only story to do that—with Solo and Rogue One being key examples.However, despite that, Jedi will always be important to the franchise’s lore....

Red-eyed tree frogs spend most of their time trying to blend in. During they day, they stay tucked in the undersides of leaves, trying to catch some sleep. With their legs pulled in tight and their eyes closed, they look like little more than a vague, green blotch. But should a predator still notice them, these frogs can use their shocking color scheme to their advantage. National Geographic explains: If you thought you were snagging a boring green frog for a meal and suddenly came face to face with deep red eyes and bright blue legs, you might think twice about whether or not this would be a safe meal — especially if you live in a habitat where brightly colored markings usually warn potential predators of an animal’s toxicity....

Even though the film has yet to release, Warner Bros.’ upcoming DC film The Suicide Squad already has a unique, surprising history. The film is kind of a remake and sort of sequel to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad film whose marketing campaign generated all the buzz but left critics and audiences alike disappointed. But that wasn’t the end of the story. ADVERTISEMENT In addition to James Gunn of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy fame signing on to tackle the film his own way, Ayer was hearing his own experience with the Suicide Squad echoed by fellow DC director Zack Snyder....

Few stories have the power to captivate us more than those that remain unresolved. Codes, puzzles and cryptic public art tease us with their intrigue: Why is their message coded? What great secrets might they hide? Despite the efforts of our most revered historians, cleverest cryptographers, and most determined treasure hunters, history is replete with riddles that continue to confound us today. Fictional tales like those featured in “The Da Vinci Code” and the movie “National Treasure” have got nothing on these real-life puzzles....

Some people think the new frontier is artificial intelligence. Others say it’s space exploration. Julia Gaskin thinks the new frontier is much closer to home. In fact, she thinks it’s right under our feet, in the soil that supports the plants we depend upon for food. Gaskin would know. She’s a soil scientist at the University of Georgia (UGA) who pulls people together to find sustainable solutions to soil problems and then trains Extension agents in those techniques....

What’s the best pumpkin for pumpkin pie? Maybe not a pumpkin at all. We are thick in the midst of pumpkin-pie-spice-everything season – seriously, it gets crazier every year, when will we reach Peak Pumpkin Spice? This year, aside from the regular contenders, we have pumpkin spice roasted almonds, English muffins, Pop-Tarts, SPAM, dog bones, and deodorant, to name just a few. The progenitor of all things pumpkin spice is, of course, the pumpkin pie – which was, also of course, inspired by the pumpkin itself....

I often shake my head looking at the typical North American house, thinking that they have been consciously designed to maximize jogs, surface area, potential leak locations and of course, heat loss. That if it doesn’t look good, just add another gable. Every time you make one of these jogs and gables, it adds what are called thermal bridges. They are pretty much a fact of life; turning a corner means more wood studs and less insulation....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the longest entry of the MCU’s Phase 4 in terms of runtime, but not every vital sequence was included based on a new reveal from its editor. Black Panther 2 had the tall order of introducing new characters like Namor and Riri Williams while also paying tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. With so many moving parts, its runtime of 2 hours and 41 minutes appeared to be what was necessary to tell the story as completely as possible....

With the writers promising a “fish out of water” tale as Wade Wilson makes the jump into the MCU, anticipation is high for Deadpool 3, especially with the creatives behind the previous films onboard. Directing the flick will be Reynolds’ recent collaborator Shawn Levy, who recently directed the actor across both Free Guy and The Adam Project. As progress rapidly continues on Deadpool 3 with the threequel getting closer to shooting, many were expecting an official announcement from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige at San Diego Comic-Con 2022....

UPDATE: We noted some skepticism about this post when we originally posted it, but now it has been pretty much debunked. please see comments. I am not taking it off the site because a) there is good discussion in comments and b) I stand by the position that “cars are cars” and heavier cars are worse than light cars, whether gas or electric. George Monbiot tweets about an interesting and controversial study that came out a few months ago that concluded that electric cars put out particulate emissions that are as high as those from diesel and internal combustion engine powered cars(ICEV)....

Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye series has been confirmed to premiere in November 2021, but reports emerged that at least one character from the show will be receiving her own spinoff show: Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez aka Echo. In the pages of Marvel Comics, Maya Lopez is a deaf Native American character who has the ability to copy another person’s movements. The deaf vigilante also donned the Ronin mantle at one point, and this plot point could be further dissected in the upcoming Disney+ spinoff....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness marked a new step for the MCU, as it heavily utilized story details from Marvel Studios’ first-ever Disney+ series, WandaVision. While Elizabeth Olsen turned out to be the main villain of Strange’s second solo outing, her journey in WandaVision set the stage for some interesting plot threads more than a year in advance. Due to this series’ unique format, fans went on a wild journey through the history of American TV sitcoms....

Finn Jones has offered some new thoughts on returning to the role of Iron Fist, despite rumors that Marvel Studios doesn’t want him back.Out of all the Marvel Netflix series, Iron Fist was the most divisive of the bunch—it’s often brought up in conversations as an example of the worst of the worst.However, with Charlie Cox back as Daredevil, many have wondered if all the Netflix characters will eventually make a return....

On this day, four years ago, Marvel Studios introduced the world to Wakanda for the first time in Black Panther. Audiences followed Chadwick Boseman’s titular hero as he returned home after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Little did he know that his ascension to King would run into a bit of turbulence thanks to Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger.The last time audiences saw the leader of Wakanda was after the Avengers and their allies triumphed over Thanos....

To the shock and excitement of fans, Kevin Feige announced Armor Wars at Disney’s Investor Day presentation, which will star Don Cheadle as War Machine and is rumored to adapt the story arc of the same name from the comics. Fans already assumed that Tony Stark would influence the series, but Cheadle himself confirmed that the death of Iron Man would impact the series: “The death of Tony Stark, I’m pretty sure, will play a role in the series....

What some fans might not realize about Moon Knight is that when it comes to lore, it would have been the perfect place to lay down some foundation for the next big bad for the Avengers: Kang the Conqueror. The character was first set up in Loki, and will make his official onscreen debut for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. But what does he have to do with Marc Spector’s story?...

Marvel Studios’ 2022 slate has officially kicked off with a new six-episode series for Disney+, Moon Knight. Starring Oscar Isaac as not one but various personas, Moon Knight is mired in a mystery involving the gods of Egypt, specifically the moon deity Khonshu. If that wasn’t a bold enough swing from Marvel Studios, this standalone series has no MCU parachute in that it’s disconnected from Marvel’s current Phase 4. Well, that is, for the moment....

One of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s deleted scenes changed the ending of the sequel and the relationship between two major characters.This isn’t the first deleted scene Marvel fans have seen leading up to Black Panther 2’s release on Disney+.The first revealed that Danai Guirira’s Okoye was presented with the opportunity to challenge Shuri for the throne. Interestingly enough, this newly released scene also features the former General of the Dora Milaje while also providing a different conclusion to the film and teasing the character’s own MCU future....

It’s been debated when the threequel to Ant-Man will be released since it seems even the actors are uncertain. In an Instagram post by Michelle Pfeiffer, she initially commented that the film would be “Coming 2022!” However, that comment was shortly retracted, pointing to that being incorrect or at least yet decided. Then, Michael Douglas said the same thing, although, as of writing this, that claim has yet to be removed....
