Warner Bros. Responds to Bethesda Westworld Lawsuit

UPDATE: Warner Bros. has responded to the Bethesda lawsuit in a statement provided to IGN.

“As one of the world’s leading creators of intellectual property, including the ground-breaking television series Westworld, Warner Bros. has a deep respect for intellectual property rights. As such, the assertions by Bethesda Softworks that Warner’s Westworld mobile game improperly used source code from Bethesda’s Fallout Shelter are as surprising as they are unsubstantiated. Warner Bros. has been assured by the game developer, Behaviour Interactive, that Bethesda’s allegations are untrue and that none of Bethesda’s code was used in the Westworld game. Moreover, contrary to Bethesda’s baseless accusation, Warner Bros. at no time “induced” Behaviour to use the Fallout Shelter code in Westworld.”

Venom Is Becoming One of Marvel’s Best Comics

More than any other series, Venom embodies what Marvel’s Fresh Start relaunch is trying to accomplish. It offers a clean entry point for a long-running franchise. It captures just enough of what readers loved about this character in his glory days while bringing a whole wealth of new elements to the table. This Venom relaunch is completely unlike any that’s come before, and that’s a very good thing.

The new series started off strong in its first issue but stumbled slightly in issue #2 thanks to a decompressed script. That’s not a problem here. While Donny Cates still crafts a fairly minimalist story that relies on imagery more than dialogue, there’s a lot going on in issue #3. He briefly but effectively showcases the dynamic between Eddie Brock and Miles Morales (making full use of Miles’ history with the Ultimate Universe version of Venom). Then he turns his attention to the big showdown between Venom and the Klyntar dragon storming its way through Manhattan. By the end, the mythology of this franchise has been completely turned on its head.

DC Finally Reveals Who’s Faster – Superman or Flash

The question of whether Superman or The Flash is truly the fastest hero in the DC Universe has been the source of fan debate for decades. And today, DC Comics finally settled that question once and for all in the pages of The Flash #49.

This issue features the penultimate chapter of “Flash War,” as former allies Barry Allen and Wally West have come to blows. Wally has been convinced by Zoom that his children (supposedly wiped out of existence thanks to the New 52 reboot) are trapped inside the Speed Force. He wants to use his speed to destroy the Speed Force itself and free them, while Barry would prefer to use less drastic measures.

DC’s Doom Patrol TV Series Explained

Apparently the DC Universe will never run out of new characters with which to build new live-action TV series. DC recently announced that a Doom Patrol series is in the works for the DC Universe streaming service, joining other series like Titans and Young Justice: Season 3.

Though depending on whom you ask, the Doom Patrol concept might have been developed first.
