Avengers 4’s much-discussed title may have been leaked as “End Game.” Two months after Avengers: Infinity War hit theaters, Marvel fans are now scouring the internet for any clues about next year’s still-untitled movie. While Kevin Feige and his team are doing their best to make sure that there won’t be any leaks, it seems like one of their own may have unintentionally revealed the Phase 3 capper’s title. The film’s title is being kept as secret as its plot, but fans can’t be stopped from speculating - especially since it’s presumed that the main reason why it’s being held back is because it could give away too much....

The writer of Batman comics has a bodyguard at San Diego Comic-Con, thanks to death threats he received after Batman #50 released. Some fans were so upset about that issue that they issued threats to writer Tom King after reading its big plot twist. The following contains spoilers for Batman #50. In the Batman comic books, Batman proposed to long-time love interest Catwoman. Issues after that focused on double dates with Superman and Lois Lane, Catwoman stealing her wedding dress and Batman figuring out how to break the news to his friends....

Warning: SPOILERS for Action Comics #1006 Jimmy Olsen may be famous for being Superman’s friend, but he’s taken Batman’s spot in Talia al Ghul’s crosshairs, now that he’s made the mistake of sleeping with the Dark Knight’s former lover. After just one night, the daughter of Ra’s al Ghul is apparently hooked. The villainous head of DC’s League of Assassins has now been adapted to both Christopher Nolan’s Batman films and The CW’s Arrow, and the same goes for his daughter, Talia....

Though the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) may seem like it’s still new in the grand scheme of things, 10 years and 20 films is nothing to take lightly. Watching all of their favorite Marvel heroes fighting side-by-side on the silver screen is a much bigger deal for comic fans than most average film-goers realize. Seeing Spider-Man and Iron Man in one film together, a few years ago, was nothing more than an unlikely fantasy; but fans can thank the ambition of the MCU’s creator, Kevin Feige, for that fantasy becoming a reality....

Today’s the day! The exciting new release from Team Alto has launched on Apple Arcade. Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City brings all the award-winning goodness from the original release and has evolved with a new biome to explore along with fresh challenges and content. A range of hit iOS classics have been brought to Apple Arcade since April but most haven’t included major changes. Developers Snowman and Land & Sea – Team Alto took a different approach with Alto’s Odyssey arriving on Apple’s gaming platform via an all-new biome with the Lost City to join the existing ones: dune, canyons, and temples....

Right now, the affected services are TestFlight, App Store Connect, and Xcode Cloud. Some regular services like iCloud Mail and iWork for iCloud have also been affected and may be “slow or unavailable.” It’s unclear when the services will be back online, but Apple states that it is working to fix the outage....

Apple today announced a minor update to App Store Connect, which now features new transaction metrics in App Analytics — a platform that lets developers measure the sales performance of their apps available on the App Store. For those unfamiliar, App Store Connect is the platform used by developers to upload and manage App Store applications. There, developers can also check App Analytics to get an insight into how their apps are being used....

This letter from Apple to the Senate Judiciary Committee is dated March 3 and signed by Timothy Powderly, the company’s senior direct of government affairs. The letter was sent in response to allegations from cryptographer Bruce Schneier, who told lawmakers that Apple’s security concerns related to sideloading were “unfounded.” In his own letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent in January, Schneier wrote: I would like to address some of the unfounded security concerns raised about these bills....

Apple today commemorated its 40 year history in Singapore, where it first set up offices in 1981. Singapore serves as Apple’s base for its Asia-Pacific operations. Today, Apple says it employs more than 3500 people and supports a further 55,000 Singaporean jobs with the iOS app economy. Tim Cook celebrated the occasion with a new interview with local radio, in which he discusses his first ever Mac experience. Tim Cook (virtually) caught up with local radio station Mediacorp Class 95....

With the arrival of the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, Apple has updated its support guide pages with additional information regarding some of its new features. This time, the company is explaining how users can take advantage of high-impedance headphones with the new MacBook Pro models. On the support page, Apple explains that the 3.5mm headphone jack on the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro from 2021 features “DC load detection and adaptive voltage output,” which means your Mac can “detect the impedance of the connected device and will adapt its output for low- and high-impedance headphones, as well as for line-level audio devices....

Alongside the announcement of Apple Fitness+ launching in 15 new regions on November 3, Apple quietly made the premium tier of Apple One available soon in 17 new countries. As first spotted by German website Macerkopf, Apple will add Apple One Premier to 17 new regions even without the Apple News+ service available there. Currently, countries that offer Apple Fitness+, like New Zealand and Ireland, but don’t have Apple News+, needed to make a standalone subscription....

Earlier this month, Apple quietly introduced some changes to the AppleCare+ plan, which extends the warranty on Apple products and also adds coverage for accidental damage. While previously AppleCare+ offered service for two accidental damages per year, Apple now says that repairs are “unlimited.” On Friday, the company began emailing AppleCare+ customers to remind them about this change. What’s new for AppleCare+ customers The email sent out by Apple once again reinforces that devices covered by the AppleCare+ plan can now take advantage of unlimited repairs for accidental damage, instead of just two incidents every 12 months....

Apple is officially back in the display business with today’s introduction of its new 27-inch Studio Display. With a resolution of 5K and four ports on the back, it’s a good option for Mac users – but there are a few tidbits worth keeping in mind. Head below as we dive deeper into the Studio Display. No ProMotion ProMotion is Apple’s adaptive refresh rate technology, which first came to the iPad Pro several years ago and has since expanded to the MacBook Pro and iPhone 13 Pro....

While Aquaman isn’t tracking too well at the box office right now, the DCEU film is far from doomed. Early reactions to Wan’s superhero movie continue to be positive, with the initial consensus being that Aquaman is an entertaining blockbuster and a welcome recovery for DC’s larger franchise after last year’s infamous misfire with Justice League. Assuming that critics have similar feelings about the film, that good word of mouth should help Aquaman’s cause and may lead to a bigger opening weekend take than currently projected....

Oliver Queen has been released from prison in Arrow, although little about the circumstances of his release made sense. Between the inept and ill-explained efforts of Queen’s lawyer (who, it should be noted, is a supervillain pretending to be a lawyer) and a storyline that saw crime-boss Ricardo"The Dragon" Diaz being unrealistically lucky in his efforts to attack a maximum security prison, there is little about the events of the past two episodes that works on a legal or logistical level....

Arrow, the show that spawned The CW’s sprawling DC shared universe, is now in its fifth season and closing in on its 100th episode. Oliver Queen a.k.a. The Hood a.k.a. The Arrow a.k.a. The Green Arrow has been through a lot of adventures across those episodes, both in the present day and in the series’ ongoing flashbacks, and some of his most notable adventures have involved the al Ghul family....

A concoction of viscerally astonishing game design and excessively niche focus, Assetto Corsa Competizione needlessly waters down its own excellence. Assetto Corsa Competizione is an incredibly authentic simulation, pushing Unreal Engine 4 to its limits to produce one of the most visually and mechanically realistic racing experiences that will make even high-end gaming rigs break a sweat. Beyond that, though, there’s really not that much else to what amounts to a relatively barebones game....

After its official unveiling during the Game Awards, ATLAS - from the makers of ARK: Survival Evolved - is available in Steam Early Access although that’s debatable since the game isn’t currently playable for most. Continuing a series of consistent disappointments, beginning with multiple micro delays and poor communication from developer Grapeshot Games, Atlas has had little more than server issues and poor performance since going live for the public over the weekend....

Avengers: Endgame’s opening Marvel intro video removed all of the snapped victims who died in Avengers: Infinity War, and this wasn’t truly discovered until the sequel movie released on home video. Leading up to Infinity War, Marvel Studios heavily marketed the film as an event of a lifetime, seeing superheroes from all corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe come together for the first time to take on an extinction-level threat - Thanos....
