Superfuse Release Date

On the superhero gaming scene, Gotham Knights and Marvel's Midnight Suns might be the only titles many gamers are aware of. Recently and soon to be released respectively.

But there are others, and one, Superfuse, just dropped a new trailer announcing a January 31 Steam early access release date.

Prime Silk

If The Boys and Invincible aren't enough to satisfy your superhero itch on Prime Video, Sony have struck a deal with Amazon to develop series based on Marvel characters in their stable of over 900 characters.

The first will be a Spider-Man spinoff Silk: Spider Society with The Walking Dead's Angela Kang as showrunner.

Kevin Conroy

A few days ago (November 10), Kevin Conroy died.

He was best known for voicing Batman in a range of animated works and computer games dating back to the early 90s Batman: The Animated Series.

Our Gotham Knights

Several major gaming sites reviewed action roleplaying Gotham Knights as so bad you'd think it completely unenjoyable, eg. IGN (5/10) and Gamespot (4/10).

It's not perfect and some of their complaints have merit but having fully (new game plus max level and all achievements) played it ourselves, know it to deserve something more like an 8/10.

Sexy Superheroes

People have named former Captain America and Human Torch actor Chris Evans as 2022 Sexiest Man Alive.

Jane Campion infamously scoffed at grown men wearing tights, but she appears to be an extreme outlier. By our reckoning this is the fourth awardee who owes his fame to a superhero role.

Wakanda Forever

With Marvel's second Black Panther film, Wakanda Forever, releasing in cinemas this week, there has been the typical trickle of teasers - Remember, Namor, Lift Me Up, One Week, Live.

Including a typical amount of repetition in their content. Regardless they are superb.

DC Divergence

A few weeks back, DC's Black Adam released in cinemas alongside action roleplaying game Gotham Knights. It looked like dark day for the franchise with generally unfavourable critic response to the film, and mixed but quite savage reviews for the game from several major publications. Today on Rotten Tomatoes, Black Adam sports a 40% critic and 90% viewer score. Only half a world between those.

The Good Grind

Early review scores for newly released action role-playing game Gotham Knights vary. Some love it but several major and trusted gaming sites have alarmingly scored it at or below 5 out of 10.

Having had a day play it and before that, a day to watch streams of console players while we waited for its Steam launch, we reckon we know why and tentatively suspect the game might be proper genius.

Titans Season 4

Perfectly timed to coincide with the launch of action roleplaying game Gotham Knights, though set in different universes, HBO have released the trailer for season 4 of Titans.

In the series, Nightwing / Dick Grayson (who also features in the game) is played by Australian actor Brenton Thwaites.

Dark Day For DC

We went to bed last night seeing abysmal review scores for DC's newly released Black Adam and thought, that's what we'll be talking about tomorrow.

And awoke to find reviews for released today / tomorrow (depending on platform) action roleplaying game Gotham Knights in the same region.

IGN have pegged both (Gotham Knights, Black Adam) as 5s.
