We’ve already had teaser trailers (check ’em out here) and a full new trailer (also viewable here) and now comes the news that the game will feature a ‘season pass option’. It’s not unusual for games these days to have season passes which offer all DLC content delivered directly to your device for a discounted fee. It saves on purchasing each time new DLC is released and often offers up items unavailable elsewhere. Todays press release from Rocksteady reads: Today, we’ve officially announced the first…

Last week paparazzi managed to sneak a photo of Leto showing a friend a picture of himself in costume on his mobile. The photo quickly did the rounds and our colleagues at Batman-News.com were able to procure the original photo and show off…

We’ve seen releases of more footage for ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ and had our very first glimpse of the upcoming ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ almost 12 months prior to its release. In amongst all of those hotly anticipated trailers came the release of the second trailer for Fox’s upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot by ‘Chronicle’ director Josh Trank. Billed as a ‘contemporary reimagining’ of the team which debuted…
