Marvel might have unintentionally had the biggest news of San Diego Comic-Con weekend when it fired James Gunn, but in terms of presences at the event, DC had the more prominent showing. Although SDCC is now in the rear-view mirror, there’s still no shortage of cosplay to check out, and this year’s event had quite a lot from DC fans.

We’ve already rounded up some of our favorite cosplay from each day of the event, as well as the best that Marvel fans had on display. Now we’re taking a look at all things DC cosplay, and that means Wonder Woman, Batman, Robin, Red Death, and many others are presented.

It’s no surprise that SDCC had so much cosplay. Despite its name, it’s an event that’s home to happenings for all manner of movies, TV shows, and games, whether or not they bear any connection to comics (which are of course at the show, too). Being open to the public, fans don’t pass up the opportunity to show off their passion for their favorite franchises by dressing up in what can often be staggeringly impressive outfits.

As noted above, DC had a lot of news to take in during SDCC. Aquaman finally got a new trailer, and its panel featured exclusive footage that showed the titular character in his classic garb. Wonder Woman 1984‘s panel similarly showed footage just for those in attendance, and there was some talk about the Chris Pine question–albeit without any satisfying answers. The much-anticipated Shazam movie got its first trailer, showcasing the kind of humor we can expect from the film.

There was plenty more to take in from Comic-Con, so be sure to check out the highlights of our coverage through the links below.

San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Coverage

The long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed Metroidvania Guacamelee is coming this year. A new trailer for Guacamelee 2 revealed the action-platformer is launching for PS4 and PC on August 21.

Guacamelee 2 continues where the first game left off, with luchador Juan Aguacate retired from supernatural adventuring and brawling. That all changes when a new threat emerges, and Juan once again dons the luchador mask that gives him his vast array of powerful attacks and abilities.

Like its predecessor, Guacamelee 2 will feature four-player local co-op, and a vast array of colorful abilities that offer new strategies for movement and combat. The same style of electro-Mexican soundtrack is making its return too, as well as the vibrant color palette used for the graphics. The game promises the return of familiar faces from the original, both friendly and villainous.

However, there are a few changes this time around. Guacamelee 2 has twice as many different enemy types for Juan to smash, plus many more bosses. Juan will also unlock new abilities he can only use after he’s transforms into a chicken, instead of only finding new skills for his human form. He’ll learn these new chicken abilities from some sort of Chicken Illuminati.

Fans of the original Guacamelee were surprised to hear its sequel would not be making its way to the PlayStation Vita. Guacamelee released on the Vita, PS3, and PC in 2013, before getting ported to Xbox 360, PS4, Wii U, and Xbox One the following year. Guacamelee 2 might copy its predecessor and eventually make its way to other platforms–like the Xbox One, Vita, or Nintendo Switch–at a later date.

The neverending onslaught of new Fortnite updates continues, with patch 5.10 now available. It’s a notable one, with a new weapon, birthday challenges, and more included, but perhaps best of all are the variety of map changes that have been implemented–one of which is quite funny, though it requires you to know where to look.

To understand this tribute on the map, you need to be familiar with the plight of Chappadoodle. Recently, streamer Muselk published a video of an attempted rescue operation in Fortnite. He sees an All-Terrain Kart nearing the edge of the map and goes to investigate, only to discover a player–Chappadoodle–has fallen far off the edge of the map but somehow managed to survive. Assuming Chappadoodle has simply run out of building materials and is stuck, Muselk builds an elaborate series of stairs to get them out. But just as they are about to reach the trapped player, he finds himself unable to build further, seemingly due to a block in place at such a low elevation.

Luckily, the aforementioned ATK was still hanging around up above, so Muselk retrieves it, intending to use its bouncy roof to let Chappadoodle reach the stairs. While attempting to bring the ATK down, it goes dangerously tumbling down the side of the cliff, but somehow manages to not fall off the map–only to mistakenly collide with Chappadoodle, sending them flying off the map to their death. And in a cruel twist, Muselk tests his theory of using the ATK’s roof to reach the stairs, and sure enough, it works.

The official Fortnite account shared a clip of all this, as you’d expect any game developer to do with a funny video involving its game. Not content with simply doing that, Reddit user StoreBrandEnigma has found that Epic has actually memorialized the entire incident in-game. As of patch 5.10, if you visit the spot where Chappadoodle died, you’ll find a tombstone. And nearby, where the ATK’s roof was needed, you’ll find a set of tires (which in Fortnite also send you flying into the air). You can see it in the screenshot below or watch video of it here.

This isn’t the first time Epic has acknowledged happenings in the community in-game. Maybe most famously, theories that Season 4’s comet would destroy Tilted Towers led to Epic leaving signs from a doomsday party on the roof of one of Tilted’s buildings.

The new tombstone appears to be just one of several small changes to the map unmentioned in the patch notes. Redditor ImmortalTechniquez found a skeet shooting setup, while Sqoof noticed that Risky Reels has been patched up.
