Telltale Games have officially announced that a third season of their The Walking Dead series will be arriving later in 2016.
The company plans to move forward with Clementine’s story- despite the numerous endings in the second season of the game.
Telltale Games CEO Kevin Bruner is quoted as saying the following:
“When we got to Season 2, we had a plan in the back of our minds of how we would make all these endings keep those threads going forward. From a role-playing, interactive storytelling point of view, it is not from the bag of tricks that we’ve ever shown anybody before. The way that we’re dealing with and validating and retaining all those different playthroughs is really cool and unexpected and, I think, pretty innovative from the storytelling point of view. We’ve got a strategy to help Season 3 players. We didn’t have the cloud services in Season 1 that we have now. So we’re going to have a solution for everybody that we’re not talking about it yet.”
More information on the third season of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead will be revealed at San Diego Comic-Con in July. The third season will premiere later in 2016.

Fans of Batman and Telltale Games were excited to learn that the two would be teaming up late last year. However, fans won’t have to wait long for the game as it has been given an August release date. The date was revealed at the SXSW Gaming Expo panel for Telltale Games.
No scenes were ready to be shown at the panel, but other details on the game include:
- Batman is the perfect character for the studio to explore in a Telltale series, giving the team the opportunity to dive deeper into the mind of the man behind the mask. Each night, Bruce Wayne chooses to change Gotham for the better. The team wants to explore what the consequences are of the player’s actions when decisions made as Bruce have a critical impact on his nightly crusade as Batman, and vice versa. Certain key situations will give the player the decision to approach a scene as Bruce or Batman, with consequences for both sides.
- Fresh interpretation of the universe set in current times, not tied to any existing iteration of Batman in games, film, or comics. Story will focus on Bruce and Batman, not an examination of the extended ‘Bat-family,’ (Robin, Nightwing, etc.) Fans can expect certain series staples such as Alfred Pennyworth, Vicki Vale, James Gordon, and Renee Montoya. Telltale is looking to keep the villains more tightly under wraps until closer to the premiere.
- Certain characters will have a deeply personal relationship with Bruce in his private life, and decisions made as Bruce or Batman will affect their paths towards corruption or redemption.
- The player’s actions will help shape the Gotham that Bruce deals with during the day, as well as the criminals that Batman faces at night.
- Team is committing to a non-photorealistic interpretation of the universe, enhancing engine and technology to deliver a more seamless living comic book art direction. Taking inspiration from the works of over 75 years of artists such as Jim Lee, Greg Capullo, and Neal Adams.
- Like some other Telltale series, the game will be landing at M (Mature 17+) rating, and the cinematic approach will feel more akin to an R-rated film.

Jeremy Renner, who stars as Clint Barton/Hawkeye in the Marvel Studios films, has expressed that he is open to appearing in a Hawkeye Netflix series should one get made.
Renner had been asked at a fan panel at Silicon Valley Comic Con if he would have any interest in appearing in a Hawkeye Netflix series. Renner is quoted as saying the following:
“I think that’s actually a really great model, if there’s ever a way to explore the character, maybe it’s in that world. These are things that are really not in my control, but I’d be open to it. I’ve really enjoyed getting to explore the character more recently. The Netflix model is where all the character drama goes to now, you’re doing a superhero movie or a Netflix or HBO kind of model. So I’d be open to it. Not up to me, though.”
Renner also mentioned in the panel that he would love to do a Hawkeye and Black Widow movie.

Marvel Comics have officially announced that a new Han Solo mini-series will begin in June. The mini-series will be five issues in total set between Star Wars Episode VI: A New Hope and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The mini-series is written by Marjorie Liu (Astonishing X-Men) and Mark Brooks (Amazing Spider Man) provides the artwork.
A synopsis for the mini-series can be read below:
The story involves a starship race known as the Dragon Void Run. “Han’s been dreaming of entering this thing for his entire life. He finally gets
the chance, except there’s a catch: Leia thinks there are spies in the Rebellion, and she doesn’t dare send anyone else to retrieve these vital informants who are on various planets in the system.
As Han and Chewie start sheltering these Rebel contacts aboard the Millennium Falcon, the Corellian pilot fights the pull of his own ego’s tractor beam: If he ditches the mission, maybe he can actually win this thing.”
Liu is quoted as saying the following on working with Lucasfilm and Marvel to come up with the idea for the series:
“Basically, I was told that the story takes place between Episodes IV and V, and then they sort of just let me loose. I turned in several different ideas, but the core of them — what I kept at the front of my imagination: He’s this working-class dude who lives paycheck to paycheck who has a business to run. He’s the Han we know and love. He’s a con artist, he’s a smuggler, he’s this wisecracking, streetwise dude, but he’s got this internal conflict where there wasn’t one before. He’s really trying to figure out who he is.”
In addition, she also revealed her inspiration for the series. She said:
“I started thinking about this old movie from the ‘80s that I really enjoyed, which is Cannonball Run. I thought, okay, what if this is sort of like Han Solo in Cannonball Run in space? So, I played with that and it finally came together in the story where there’s this infamous starship race. It’s the pilot dream race. Everyone wants to be in it, everyone dreams of winning it. The race is sort of a cover that will allow him to go on this mission for [Leia], but at the same time, even though the race isn’t a priority, it’s a real struggle for him because he knows he needs to focus, but he’s on the race of a lifetime.”
She then talked about writing Chewbacca in the mini-series by saying:
“To me, Chewie was always the heart and soul of the relationship. He was like the better angel, where Han is way more comfortable skirting the edges of morality. Chewie will go along, but he’s like, “Hey, man. This isn’t right.” I always loved that about him. I love that he is so incredibly loyal to Han. They’re absolutely 100 percent family. I always loved that Chewie can tell Han these hard truths that Han doesn’t really want to hear. Even though technically we can’t understand what Chewie is saying, we get it. We all understand.”
Finally, Liu hinted that the events in The Force Awakens might have affected how she wrote this mini-series. She said:
“It has actually colored how I think about the book. That’s been sort of an internal conversation with myself, whether I change certain beats, whether I do certain things to reflect this now-future canon that I know is coming down the line for him. I haven’t quite answered that for myself yet, but it’s definitely in my head. It can’t not be, because writing the book feels very bittersweet in a way.”
Liu also revealed that Princess Leia Organa will appear in the mini-series and a new alien called Loo Re Anno will be introduced. Loo Re Anno is supposedly a legendary racer and part of a dying species.
A couple of pages from the first issue can be seen below:

Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame – Elektra Natchios. Bigger problems emerge when Frank Castle, a man looking for vengeance, is reborn as The Punisher, a man who takes justice into his own hands in Matt’s neighborhood. Meanwhile, Matt must balance his duty to his community as a lawyer and his dangerous life as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, facing a life-altering choice that forces him to truly understand what it means to be a hero.”

New images from the upcoming Lego Batman Movie have been released, a spin-off of The Lego Movie (2014).
Director Chris McKay is quoted as saying the following:
“Batman is an island onto himself, the only thing he doesn’t have is relationships. We’re making About a Boy as directed by (action director) Michael Mann.”
Will Arnett (Bruce Wayne/Batman) had the following to hint on the film:
“The Batcave is even better than we remembered it, it’s awesome. But I also love getting into the ho-hum day-to-day of being Batman and what it’s like to fight crime each day. Like the idea of Batman oversleeping his alarm clock makes me laugh. It really does humanize him.”
The first trailer for the film will be released later this week.
The Lego Batman Movie is scheduled for release on February 10th, 2017.

Brian McManamon (Project Beth, Gossip Girl) has been cast as Basil Karlo/Clayface in Gotham.
A description of the character in the comics can be read below:
“Basil Karlo made his first appearance in Detective Comics #40 (June 1940) and was created by Bob Kane. He was a once-famous actor who went insane with rage when he learned thatThe Terror, a classic horror film he starred in, was being remade without him. To exact his revenge, Karlo dressed up as the film’s villain, Clayface, and killed members of the cast in the order in which their characters died in the film.
At that time, Karlo didn’t possess any super-powers, but that all changed when he reappeared in 1989’s “The Mud Pack” story arc of Detective Comics. The four-part series featured Karlo joining forces with the other incarnations of Clayface — Preston Payne, Matt Hagen and Sondra Fuller — to take down Batman. After they were defeated, Karlo imbued himself with shape-shifting abilities by taking samples from his downed allies (who he tricked) and injecting the samples into himself.”
No details on which episode he will be appearing in have been revealed.
