Amazon Rescues Batman
Posted By:

From that title you might surmise that Wonder Woman has hauled Bruce's butt out of some proverbial fire but in this instance the Amazon we're referring to is the streamer.

Last year HBO cancelled in development animated series Batman: Caped Crusader, and Amazon have snapped it up with a two season order.

RoboCop Delayed
Posted By:

First person shooter RoboCop: Rogue City has been delayed from June to September and as is often the way, we learn of this via a different date attached to their latest trailer.

They could have copy / pasted the stock standard seeking to produce a product of the highest quality standard type statement but why waste any of our time?

Skies Station
Posted By:

During last year's Summer of Gaming, one of the standout trailers was for novel post-apocalyptic survival crafting game Forever Skies.

In November they delayed their early access launch into this year so they could implement more features. They've just unveiled the first of those and it strikes us as pointless.

Sam and Simu in Simulant
Posted By:

Fresh from the trailer farm we have one for a new A.I. film called Simulant.

Simulants are androids and the trailer's dialog rattles off precepts they must obey which are reminiscent of Asimov's.

Silo Teaser
Posted By:

Apple series Wool starring Dune's Rebecca Ferguson (Jessica Atreides) has been renamed Silo and given a May 5 release date.

Originally named for the book on which it is based, probably there's a very clever reason underlying it.
