Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has kindly shared with us the opening scene from Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The movie is due for release in June and we’ve now got a much better idea about the style of the movie from this footage. The scene features Barbara Gordon on a visit to Powers Industrial when her visit is interrupted by The Foot Clan. We get a shadowy look at the Turtles before the scene switches to Gordon telling the story to Batman, masterfully voiced by the legendary Kevin Conroy.

At around 2:30am BST this morning the embargo lifted on Warner Bros. Detective Pikachu. You can read our 7.5/10 review of the movie here but what did other critics think of this latest video game adaption?

Here’s what some of the industry’s top critics thought of the movie. The Guardian The…

Earlier this week Paramount Pictures eagerly revealed their first look at Sonic The Hedgehog. The movie, directed by Jeff Fowler, is set to bring the titular Sonic in to the human world for an adventure featuring Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik. Whilst nobody could deny there was a nostalgic air to the trailer many were disappointed with the look of the main character. His traditional appearance had been somewhat altered making him more humanlike in some ways. Well it appears as if the director, the studio and Sega themselves have heard the criticisms. Overnight Jeff Fowler put out the following…

HBO is gearing up to unveil its Watchmen series later in 2019. Whilst the cable network has yet to release a full trailer for the series they have released a series of short teasers. This latest trio focus on a series of familiar locales for fans of Alan Moore’s original comic run. The first teaser features a pirate flag, with a Watchmen-yellow skull logo.

If you have seen Avengers: Endgame (and who hasn’t?) then you may have lingering questions about how the story has impacted society. One scene in particular has caused fans to question the time travel nature of the Marvel epic.

The question posed by this scene and the trailer for July’s Spider-Man: Far From Home is: how can ALL Peter’s friends still be in high school? Whilst its understandable that they could all have turned to dust, it’s plausible to say that some…
