In a development that should relieve fans, The Batman, Warner’s developing DC Extended Universe reboot movie, is now back on track after a COVID scare earlier this month from a positive test, reportedly from star Robert Pattinson, resulted in the production coming to a standstill. Warner has issued a statement announcing its return to production on director Matt Reeves’s The Batman, although the studio remains ambiguous on the details, especially since it never officially confirmed the now-accepted notion originally reported by Vanity Fair that the on-set positive case that caused the shutdown was star Robert Pattinson himself....

The 2-in-1 laptop market gets more crowded all the time - or should that be the 2-in-1 tablet market? Either way, unless you’ve got your eye on an exact product, it can be tough to know which to go for when you start looking for a new computer. Are you hoping to back a portable machine that’s perfect for writing on? Or perhaps a lightweight one that’s ideal for watching movies and TV in bed?...

Seemingly out of nowhere, M3GAN looks like it might be the next big franchise in horror. The film has received rave reviews and broke through on TikTok before it was even released. The film’s ending hints at a sequel, and with the film raking in $30.2 million in its opening weekend (amid Avatar: The Way of Water’s box office dominance, no less), it looks likely that M3GAN will be here to stay....

This article contains spoilers for The Boys seasons 1-3. In the world of Prime Video’s The Boys, superheroes – or supes as they’re not-so-affectionately called – are a part of normal, everyday life. But these supes aren’t naturally born, they’re created by Vought Industry’s Compound V serum. Even though Vought does their best to control who does and does not become a supe, they don’t have control over how abilities manifest in people who take Compound V....

A new sofa based on Ditto the Pokemon is available in Japan and it’s either cute or cursed, depending on views on sentient furniture. Ditto was one of the original 151 Pokemon from Pokemon Red & Blue. It had the ability to naturally polymorph into other substances and living beings. Ditto was the only Pokemon outside of Mew that could learn the Transform move, allowing it to copy the appearance and move set of an enemy Pokemon....

Although most synonymous with the Halloween season, witches have woven their way onto the silver screen at every time of the year since the earliest days of the motion picture.

When it comes to martial arts films, The Karate Kid was a game changer when it came out in 1984. Its lasting cultural impact was a landmark advancement for the western understanding of the martial arts. But was it a genuine representation of Karate? Den of Geek consulted Dr. Hermann Bayer, an expert authority on Okinawan Karate and the author of the upcoming book Analysis of Genuine Karate―Misconceptions, Origin, Development, and True Purpose....

This article contains The Last of Us spoilers. The third episode of HBO’s The Last of Us was arguably the series’ best episode yet and, for fans of the games, certainly its most intriguing episode yet. After all, this was the episode that made some major changes to Bill and Frank’s story that may very well set the show on its own creative path. If you haven’t already read our interview with Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann about the episode’s parallel universe effect, I highly recommend doing so....

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker may have wrapped up Rey’s story in the Sequel Trilogy, but it didn’t actually answer every question about her past. In fact, there was one big mystery left unanswered in 2019 that Star Wars is only just now addressing three years later. While the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga revealed that Rey’s parents (played by Jodie Comer and Billy Howle) were forced to hide their baby daughter away on Jakku in order to protect her from Emperor Palpatine, and that her father was actually an imperfect clone of the Sith lord who lacked a connection to the Force, the movie never actually gave these characters proper Star Wars names....

Like many Star Wars fans, I decided to honor my favorite far away galaxy with a nostalgia watch. But I just binged watch all the movies recently, and introduced my girlfriend to the entirety of Clone Wars and Rebels. Mando is still fresh in my mind, but you know what I haven’t revisited in a long time? The 2D Clone Wars animated series by Genndy Tartakovsky. While I immersed myself in its slick action sequences, I was reminded of how legitimately cool General Grievous used to be....

One of the many great things about Stardew Valley’s 1.5 update is the number of new machines added, such as the Bone Mill and the Auto-Petter. These machines improve quality of life drastically, saving time on petting animals and getting more out of the many fossil items you find during your farming career. If you’re a big fan of the fighting and mining mentioned previously, you may find the Geode Crusher a worthy addition to the collection of machines on your farm....

A new study reveals that Pokemon GO seems to be improving the health and life expectancy of players who are dedicated to the augmented reality mobile experience. Unlike most video games, Pokémon GO asks players to get out in the real world and do a lot of moving around. Other games like Wii Fit have attempted to get gamers on the move in the past, but according to early studies, Pokémon GO may be the most successful video game to date when it comes to improving health and quality of life for its players....
