If DC Must, Doomsday Clock Is the Right Way to Continue Publishing Watchmen Comics
With the reveal of DC Comics’ Doomsday Clock comic, we now know that Geoff Johns’ ongoing Watchmen-join-the-DCU story will lead to a showdown between Doctor Manhattan and Superman.

Destiny 2 PC Version Release Date May Be Later Than Console
The newly-announced PC version of Destiny 2 has no confirmed release date, and may arrive after the PS4 and Xbox One versions have launched on September 8.
The game's FAQ page on Battle.net is a little hazy on a release date, reading: "Bungie is actively working through the global details. We look forward to sharing additional information later this year."
When asked by PC Gamer to clarify a date, game director Luke Smith said: “We haven’t committed to a PC date yet. At Bungie, we are totally committed to making the PC build as great as we can
‘No Plans’ for Destiny 2 on Nintendo Switch
Destiny may have made the jump to PC, but it's unlikely to complete the platform quartet with a Nintendo Switch version.
Speaking to IGN at Destiny 2's gameplay reveal event, project lead Mark Noseworthy initially said that Bungie has "no announcements to make about the Switch at this time".
When asked if that meant the franchise could embrace Switch in some way in the future, Noseworthy added:
"I think it's pretty unrealistic, given we're an online-only game, right? The Switch, because it's a portable - and I love my Switch, I've got Breath of the Wild here, I've got it with me. It's incredible, I love the console, but in terms of where it's at, I don't want leave anyone with the possibility of, like, 'it's a thing we'll consider, maybe next year.' There's no plans right now for Switch."

With with the May, 19th release of Alien: Covenant, the franchise now has six films total (no, the AVP films do not count), which includes the prequel, Prometheus.

Batman, Superman, Harry Potter and others get Lego-ized
To coincide with the digital release of the Lego Batman film, some of the WB titles in the iTunes store are getting a lego makeover. Specifically, the Batman films, Gremlins and even The Wizard of Oz are having their traditional film artwork, swapped out for Lego versions.
We thought the Lego Batman movie was a lot of fun (and one of the best reviewed Batman films ever), so it was cool to see these other characters get the Lego treatment.
Valve Reveals Companion Cube Cosmetic For Dota 2 Hero
Valve has revealed a companion cube cosmetic for lo in Dota 2.
Dota 2 fans will likely remember last year's hotly contested Arcana vote, a fan poll that helps Valve decide which of the game's 113 playable heroes will be getting a new cosmetic that completely overhauls the character's design, including new animations, sounds, and skill icons. Last year's contest was the strangest yet, with the finalists being Juggernaut, one of the Dota 2's most played carries, and Io, an incredibly unpopular support hero. Most fans agree that Io only made it so far as a joke among the community, but in the end the votes were close with Juggernaut barely winning, taking 52% of the votes.
One of 2017’s Best-Selling Games Came Out in 2013
The NPD Group, known for releasing sales figures on software and hardware each month, also has a section of its release dedicated to the top games across all platforms for the year so far.
Ubisoft sits at the top of the 2017 sales so far with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands and For Honor in second. Breath of the Wild is 2017's third-best selling game, without digital downloads factoring in to its place on the list.
Sitting firmly at spot number 7 is Grand Theft Auto V, which originally released for PS3 and Xbox 360 all the way back in September 2013. At Take-Two's investor call back in February, the company revealed it had sold-in 75 million copies of GTA 5 over the game's lifespan.
