A direct sequel to the original, fan-favorite Black Ops, and set in the early 1980s, Black Ops Cold War drops players into the depth of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical universe.

In addition to the story campaign, the new game will bring an arsenal of Cold War weapons and equipment into the next generation of Black Ops Multiplayer combat, and an all-new co-operative game play experience with Zombies.




 
Netflix Announces Resident Evil Series


As per Netflix, the Resident Evil series will operate on two timelines. “In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are moved to New Raccoon City. A manufactured, corporate town, forced on them right as adolescence is in full swing. But the more time they spend there, the more they come to realize that the town is more than it seems and their father may be concealing dark secrets. Secrets that could destroy the world.”

The second timeline has a serious time jump, 16 years into the future and with a whole lot more zombies on the scene. “There are less than fifteen million people left on Earth,” reads the synopsis of the second timeline. “And more than six billion monsters -- people and animals infected with the T-virus. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past - about her sister, her father and herself - continue to haunt her.”

Excellent points. Another issue is simply that this is what we get when people who don't love comic book characters are in charge of producing comic book movies.

True. The lack of care in developing the plot shows. As if they think fans just need great CGI and action and that will do.

They think that way because of the overly vocal section of so called fans who care more about visual spectacle than they do about story arc or character development. Say what you will about the MCU but they at least made the efforts to tell stories & develop the characters with their movies.

Whoever came up with the strategy at Warner Bros needs to be fired, because the MCU way of doing things is superior in every metric.

They make way more money, they are better critically reviewed, their visuals look better, and their stories are told better.

Except for cartoons. DC for some reason does far better with their animated movies and shows

Very true, another part of the reason Marvel animation has been so weak compared to WB/DC was that the guys in charge of Marvel television (until recently) were holdovers from the pre-Disney era when they would crank out crappy animated shows to make a few quick bucks because the company was cash-starved.
 
DC's animated features aren't produced to be released for theatrical realease so the corporate heads & studio executives at Warner Brothers don't micromange or try to have a say in everything the way they like to with live action films. That's why the animated & TV side of things tend to be able to have behind the scene folks working on them that respect the source material & characters to put out much better content on that end. Corporate & studio heads will always want to have a say on both behind & in front of camera activities with the movies.

Good read. i think I know what the Jokers' ultimate end game is based on things said & done in this first issue...

...turn Batman into what they view from their perspective the ideal incarnation of The Joker.

I'm reading that some fans don't want Black Panther to be recast, I personally think those fans have not thought that through. Black Panther became a beloved character to a lot of people, he is also the only Black male hero in modern comics to get his own movie for this character and franchise to end here would actually hurt the legacy of this character that Chadwick helped bring to life. I don't think it would take away from Chadwick Boseman's career and performance to hand the reigns over to another fine actor, in fact, it would help to cement the character's iconic status. Black Panther would become a legacy that gets passed down like James Bond, Batman, or the Joker.

I think this should have been a secret that came out during the story. Now what will the twist be? I don't get DC comics.
