Get the Dark Knight Trilogy on 4K Blu-ray for $49.99

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

With all the buzz around Joaquin Phoenix’s upcoming Joker movie, there’s a lot of talk of Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight. While I have faith in the acting abilities of Joaquin Phoenix (check out The Master), there’s no denying Heath Ledger absolutely crushed it in the role. The entire trilogy is one of the better comic book adaptations, and arguably the best DC series. Arguably.

Amazon has a long-running promotion on 4K Blu-rays, and now all three movies in the Dark Knight trilogy qualify for the special pricing. If you buy them separately, you’re looking at spending over $80, but you can get all three for just $49.99. If you’re familiar with this promotion, you already know there are a lot of other qualifying movies, so you can mix and match.

The Man in the High Castle: Season 3 Review

This is a spoiler-free review for all 10 new episodes of The Man in the High Castle’s third season – which premieres Friday, October 5 on Amazon Prime.

Still as morose and unyielding as ever, The Man in the High Castle returns, almost two years after its second season dropped, for a run that not only deals heavily with the fallout of Rufus Sewell’s John Smith thwarting a German nuclear attack on Japan (while simultaneously losing his son back home), but also dives headlong into sci-fi, transforming the series into what it was always meant to be.

The show’s embrace of science fiction has been a steady, escalating one. Being based on an award-winning novel by sci-fi luminary Philip K. Dick, yet still deviating heavily from the book back in Season 1, the series now – as it becomes an eager, extended hypothetical of where Dick’s story might have ultimately gone – finally fits its shoes. It’s taken a while, and a generous amount of patience given how demonstratively sad the story can be, but the series now has a purpose. It has an endgame. Season 3 shapes things so that it’s not all just a “Well, this alt-Earth scenario sure seems terrible for everyone on every level, right?”

DC Universe Reveals Premiere Date Plan for Young Justice, Doom Patrol

At the first ever DC Universe panel, hosted at New York Comic Con 2018, Geoff Johns offered some new insights into the subscription service’s upcoming offerings – including a new comic book prequel for Young Justice which will debut exclusively on the platform.

The one-shot prequel comic will “accompany the exclusive original animated series in 2019 and will be created by producer Greg Weisman and artist Christopher Jones,” according to DC. Other new comics coming to DC Universe in October include New Teen Titans (#13 – #20) from 10/2 – 10/15, and New Teen Titans (#21 – #41) from 10/16 – 10/29; Batman: The Long Halloween from 10/23 – 11/5; and Batman: Dark Victory from 10/30 – 11/12.

Chris Evans Might Be Done As Captain America, But Here’s What He’s Doing Next

Captain America actor Chris Evans could be hanging up the shield after Avengers 4, but he’s not quitting acting altogether, of course. Deadline is reporting that Evans will star alongside James Bond actor Daniel Craig in a new movie from Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.

Knives Out is a contemporary murder-mystery movie that Johnson wrote himself. Craig is expected to play a detective in the film, but there is no word on the role Evans may play. For now, his involvement in Knives Out is only a rumour, so take it with a grain of salt.

Essentially nothing is known about Knives Out, but Johnson told Deadline in September that it’s inspired by his admiration for Agatha Christie books and how they are filled with twists and turns.

Some of Evans’ other upcoming movies include a starring role in the The Red Sea Diving Resort, which retells the story of the rescue of Ethiopian Jewish immigrants in 1981. Evans is also pegged to star in District 9 director Neil Blomkamp’s thriller Greenland. However, Knives Out is expected to be Evans’ next movie, according to Deadline.

There is no word on a release date for Knives Out. Johnson is a busy man, as he is also set to direct three more Star Wars movies at some point in the future.

As for the next Avengers movie, the currently untitled fourth film is due out in April 2019. It comes with a mountain of anticipation, given the stirring and unexpected events of Infinity War.

What’s Chris Evans Doing After Captain America? A Movie With The Last Jedi Director

Chris Evans may be saying goodbye to Captain America, but he’s saying hello to The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.

Deadline reports that Evans is joining the cast of Johnson’s murder mystery Knives Out, which also stars Daniel Craig. Johnson also wrote the script, and will make the movie before he moves onto a new trilogy in the Star Wars trilogy. Plot details for Knives Out are thin, but Deadline reports it’s a modern murder mystery in the “classic whodunit style”.

In a tweet today, Evans suggested he might be hanging up shield now that he’s wrapped filming on Avengers 4.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission Review

When Sony built the DualShock for the original PlayStation, it turned to Japan Studio to make a game that demonstrated the potential of its new controller. What we got was Ape Escape, the dual-stick controlled platformer that became an instant classic. Now Japan Studio has focused its attention on PlayStation VR and has created the best showcase of the hardware’s potential I’ve seen yet in Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

Astro Bot’s story is thin, but it’s enough to justify its galactic adventure. The charming robots from the Playroom series are hanging out on their spaceship, practicing the floss dance, when a Big Bad Alien attacks their sentient ship and steals its VR visor, sending them scattering across the universe. The opening cut-scene immediately highlights the advantage of VR. The characters start way off in the distance, before quickly shooting down and getting right in your face, which made me instinctively shift backward in my seat several times.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Lets You Pay For Permanent XP Boost

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, like many other AAA games, allows players to spend real money on various microtransactions. With the game now available, we’ve learned all about the items you can purchase using the franchise’s Helix Credit system.

You can purchase Helix Credits in five different packages:

Base Pack — 500 Helix Credits ($5 USD/$7.55 AUD/£4.29 UK)
Small Pack — 1050 Helix Credits ($10 USD/$14.95 AUD/£8.59 UK)
Medium Pack — 2400 Helix Credits ($20 USD/$29.95 AUD/£16.99 UK)
Large Pack — 4600 Helix Credits ($35 USD/$52.95 AUD/£29.99 UK)
Extra Large Pack — 7400 Helix Credits ($50 USD/$75.95 AUD/£41.99 UK)

There are loads of different things you can buy with Helix Credits. Starting off, you can purchase a number of “time-saver” bundles with Helix Credits, including various allotments of the in-game currency, Drachmae, as well as packs that come with materials like wood and pelts that you would otherwise find in the world.

You can also purchase permanent XP and Drachmae boosts that offer 50 percent more XP and Drachmae than normal. The permanent XP boost costs 1000 Helix Credits, while the bundle that gets you 50 percent boosts for XP and Drachmae costs 1500 Helix Credits.

What’s more, you can purchase maps that reveal the locations of things like legendary chests, ancient tablets, and more.

There are also microtransactions specific to ships in the form of various different designs for sails, figureheads, and outfits for your crew. You can also purchase various gear packs for your character, as well as skins for your horse that turn it into a unicorn or even a pegasus (but it doesn’t appear to be able to actually fly). Additionally, you can buy swords, spears, and staffs individually or through sets.

You can visit Odyssey’s store to see everything there is to buy with microtransactions. GameSpot’s Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey review scored the game an 8/10.

“Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s ambition is admirable, which is reflected in its rich attention to detail for the era and its approach to handling the multi-faceted narrative with strong protagonists at the lead,” reviewer Alessandro Fillari said. “While its large-scale campaign–clocking in at over 50 hours–can occasionally be tiresome, and some features don’t quite make the impact they should, Odyssey makes great strides in its massive and dynamic world, and it’s a joy to venture out and leave your mark on its ever-changing setting.”

Venom’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Revealed

Rotten Tomatoes has revealed the aggregated score for Tom Hardy’s new Venom film.

The newest in Sony’s run of comic-based movies did not fare well on the Tomatometer, currently only scoring a measly 28%, though this, of course, could change as more reviews come in.

This rotten score averages out at 4.4 out of 10 across the 109 reviews currently counted and sits pretty well in line with our review.

When it comes to not-so-well-received superhero movies, Venom shares its Rotten Tomatoes score with 2016’s Suicide Squad – which also puts it just one point ahead of Batman v Superman from the same year.
