'Game of Thrones' Actor Addresses The Rickon Issue From "Battle Of The Bastards"!
Wowzers, Game of Thrones superb ninth episode from Season 6 certainly managed to live up to its hype. Whilst some are hailing it as the best episode ever, there was one slight issue that we had with the series's latest outing. Snow and co. may have employed some clever military tactics, but if only someone had taught poor Rickon Stark the basics on arrow avoidance! Fair to say, Twitter has lost its s**t!

Stephen Amell Reveals Who Came Up with Idea for Establishing Bruce Wayne in the Arrowverse (Spoiler: It Was Him)
A couple of weeks ago, Arrow set the internet into a frenzy when Oliver Queen mentioned Bruce Wayne in a press conference. After five years, we finally had confirmation that Batman — or at least, his alter-ego — existed within the Arrowverse. There had already been mentions of Gotham City and Superman's dark, brooding friend on Supergirl, but until now, there was nothing to say that he existed on Earth-1.

Ben Affleck’s Batman Movie: What We Need To See In His Solo Outing
To borrow a phrase from Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight (2008) “It’s a funny world we live in...” It really is, especially when we think of how much the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman was derided upon its announcement back in 2013... and here we are three years on, and he has been one of the most praised things about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (bar a few criticisms about his killing, of course).

Ben Affleck is Batman, and this Batman is taking the franchise in his own direction after Justice League. Ben Affleck is currently writing and will be directing his own solo outing as Batman, and there is already so much Batman lore currently built inside the DCEU, that he has plenty of inspiration to draw from.

From TARDIS To MCU: 9 'Doctor Who' Actors That Played Comic Book Characters
It's quite surprising the amount of actors who have gone from #DoctorWho to superhero films and TV. Even if we just look at #NuWho, there have been a fair few actors who have moved on to superhero media — some in the #MCU, whereas others occupy the #Arrowverse — whether small cameos or leading roles. Seriously, there's more than you might think.

5 Casting Decisions Everybody Hated, But Then Loved
Nowadays, everything is scrutinized online. Be it writing, films, games or TV shows, anyone who has access to a keyboard has the capability to express their opinions about certain subjects (hell, I'm doing it right now!). Every once in a while, a movie studio casts an actor in a role that causes huge debate. Recently, rumors surfaced online that Zendaya would not be playing a character called Michelle in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming, but she would in fact be playing Mary Jane Watson. It doesn't take much to look at Zendaya and see she doesn't look much like the comic's version of Mary Jane, but just because she might not LOOK the part, that doesn't mean she won't be really good in the role. I admit, I've seen nothing of her or her acting ability, but I'm happy to reserve judgement until the film is released.

One Year Later: Fantastic Four's Writer Reveals His Original Story, and It Sounds Amazing!
The Fantastic Four have not had the smoothest of rides with regards to transitioning from comic books to the silver screen. In two separate film incarnations, Marvel's first family has stumbled. Neither of the two versions of the characters has grasped the imagination of the audience and there seems to be a malaise surrounding the characters now. But, without the intervention of the producers, it could have been so different.

Sony and Marvel Will Work Together to Make a Spider-Man Movie Universe
After eight years, Spider-Man has finally joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom Holland's appearance as Marvel's flagship hero in Captain America: Civil War was a triumph for Marvel Studios, and it all happened thanks to an agreement with Sony. In early 2015, the news we had all waited for broke after Sony and Marvel agreed to a deal that would allow Spider-Man to appear alongside the likes of Iron Man, Captain America and the rest of Marvel's heroes.

The MCU Contract Situation: How Many Films Does Your Favourite Marvel Hero Have Left?
Here we are, well ensconced within Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the MCU continues to impress. Captain America: Civil War was, in my opinion, the best superhero film ever, so it is safe to say we are off to a good start. We're now 13 films in (I know, it really doesn't feel like it!), so I thought it might be good to have a look where we stand with regards to the actors' contract situation. It is well documented that each of the main stars signs multi-film deals, so 13 films in some are bound to be running out. Let's have a look at the state of play:

Awesome Pokémon Go Team Leader Fan Art Is Already Pouring In
A wise man told me earlier this morning that the sun never sets on the Poké-Empire and I believed him wholeheartedly. Pokémon Go has proven itself to be a great first step towards augment reality games and has also been the source of some odd events here and there. Despite a few slight mishaps, the hype train for Pokémon Go is still going strong. The proof is in the fact that the team leaders of Pokémon Go were only just revealed to the world during Niantic's panel at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend and the internet is already awash with amazing fan art.
