Warner Bros. Pictures has a total of six Joker-related movies in development, but not all of them are set to take place within the untitled DC film universe. The Joker is the most iconic Batman supervillain, which is why he’s been adapted to the big and small screens multiple times over the years. Heath Ledger made his mark on the character by appearing in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight in 2008....
Creator and writer Will Gong and director Lauren Kilxbul have a sound idea: four people trapped in a bunker a year into the zombie apocalypse find it’s as difficult dealing with the living as it is the dead — walking or otherwise. But, while the idea is a solid one, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. For starters, the only way someone watching Bunkheads would know its a comedy is by reading the logline, which describes the four survivors as “zany” (spoiler: they’re not), but instead should just label them as what they are: intolerable....
The first look at the all-new Marvel’s Spider-Man animated series has arrived, pitting Peter against a souped-up Scorpion. Last year, word broke that Marvel would be ending Ultimate Spider-Man after four seasons and kicking off a brand new series simply titled Marvel’s Spider-Man. The move came as a shock to fans, but it’s not exactly a new one. Marvel have often folded one Spidey series just to create another in its place....
Last month, we heard Tim Cook share in an interview that he personally owns bitcoin and/or Ethereum while reiterating that Apple is “looking at” it but that the company does not have immediate plans to implement support for cryptocurrencies. The NYT report highlights that over $28 billion has been invested into crypto and blockchain startups around the world this year, which is 4x what was seen in 2020. Within two days, she said, more than 350 people — many from the biggest internet companies — had clicked the link to apply for jobs at the firm, Unstoppable Domains....

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Apple has closed several of its retail stores around the world. It was only in June 2021 that all Apple Stores around the world were open simultaneously for the first time in 75 weeks, but now the company has once again decided to close some of its U.S. and Canada stores due to the new COVID-19 variant. As reported by Bloomberg, Apple temporarily closed its stores in Miami, Maryland, and Ottawa as a response to the recent increase in the number of COVID-19 cases....
One of Apple’s environmental goals was for its entire supply chain to be carbon-neutral by 2030. More than two years after the objective was announced, the company hints at being unhappy with progress, and has announced that it will now begin carrying out annual progress audits. In an implied threat to suppliers that aren’t showing sufficient movement toward this goal, Apple said that it “will partner with suppliers that are working with urgency and making measurable progress toward decarbonization” …...
During a Twitter Space this evening, Elon Musk confirmed that Apple has “fully resumed advertising” on Twitter. This comes less than a week after Musk publicly shamed Apple for having “mostly stopped advertising on Twitter” and questioned if the company hated “free speech in America.” Apple never confirmed nor denied that it had stopped advertising on Twitter. There was also never any indication of whether a slowdown in advertising was due to Musk’s ownership of Twitter or just a general realignment at the end of the month....
Following the record-setting live stream of the listening event for Kanye West’s upcoming album Donda last month, Apple Music and Kanye are teaming up for another exclusive live stream.

The stream went live at 1 a.m. ET on Thursday morning, with Apple promoting it as: “Watch Kanye finishing Donda in Atlanta....

Set after the events of Justice League, the James Wan-directed movie will see the return of Arthur Curry in Atlantis, as he claims his rightful place as king of the underwater civilization, after being less enthused about the notion in the past.

The stakes are being raised to the highest level the MCU has ever seen in Avengers 4. Marvel Studios and directors Joe and Anthony Russo made the gutsy decision to end Avengers: Infinity War with Thanos successfully killing half of the universe’s population. Somehow, though, the stakes in Avengers 4 will be higher than ever. Set after the cataclysmic cliffhanger in Avengers: Infinity War, the fourth Avengers film will revisit the surviving members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as they band together in order to defeat the Mad Titan Thanos....
Andy Dick has been fired from the movie Raising Buchanan after allegations of sexual assault. There was a period of time when it seemed like the comedian and actor was in everything funny. After appearing on the sketch comedy program The Ben Stiller Show, Dick starred in three movies in 1994. Including voiceover work, he repeatedly had years with three movies to his name, including 1997, 2000, and 2006, and topped that in 2007 with four....
Ant-Man & The Wasp’s Evangeline Lilly says she wanted to work with Michelle Pfeiffer since she played Catwoman in Batman Returns. Pfeiffer brought Selina Kyle to life in Tim Burton’s 1992 Batman sequel and her performance is now considered one of the best (if not the best) movie versions of Catwoman ever. The Oscar-nominee stepped away from the screen for a few years after her reunion with Burton on Dark Shadows in 2012, but has been busier than ever since her return....
