A Not So Happy Meal: How McDonald's Destroyed 'Batman Returns' And Cost Tim Burton His Job
Way back when, when Happy Meals didn't include a fruit bag and an educational toy (possibly an abacus), the McDonald's fun box was a staple of any kid's birthday party. When tied in with the fad of the time, you could find anything from a Beanie Baby to a Lion King toy lurking under your MSG fries and chicken-mush nuggets. Film fans of a certain age may remember the short-lived line of Batman inspired toys that linked 1992's Batman Returns to the golden arches, but you may not know the tragic tale behind the plastic fantastic nightmare.

Caps All, Folks: Marvel Drops Massive Bombshell On Evil Captain America
If you thought time-meddling villains and a reality-warping Cosmic Cube was bad enough in the fictional worlds of comic books, how about when they go and fundamentally alter real history too?

Who's That Bat: Joss Whedon Looking For Unknown Actress To Play Batgirl In The DCEU
There are some parts that sound just too good to be true to Hollywood actors, while the ever expanding #superhero genre offers some of the most lucrative roles out there. If Josh Brolin actually leaves any parts in supes films available, they can be a one-way ticket to stardom, sequels, and one hell of a paycheck. While the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Ben Affleck bring their macho personas to our screens, the likes of Gal Gadot, Scarlett Johansson, and Cate Blanchett are slowly showing that it isn't just a man's world.

It may have taken up until Episode 84, but TWD fulfilled its #comicbook legacy, after various fake-out deaths, and finally whacked #StevenYeun's Glenn Rhee.

Flip Them The Bird: 'Gotham' Star Hits Out At Homophobia Over Penguin Storyline
There is trouble brewing on the streets of Gotham City, and it looks #Fox's #Gotham is still coming under fire for its recent pairing of two iconic characters and the show's first LGBT relationship. Season 3 of the hit #TV show saw the progressive storyline of #RobinLordTaylor's Penguin coming out as gay, which as you can imagine, rubbed some internet trolls up the wrong way.
