Update: 2K has released new details about the Switch version of the game - including that it will release alongside PS4 and Xbox One versions on October 17.

Next DC Animated Film Will Seemingly Be Gotham By Gaslight
Following Batman and Harley Quinn, the next DC animated film appears to be a retelling of Gotham by Gaslight, the story that sees Batman transplanted into the 18th Century.
An image on Reddit appears to show the back cover of the Batman and Harley Quinn Blu-ray, which lists "A Sneak Peak at DC Universe's Next Animated Movie: Batman: Gotham by Gaslight" as a special feature:
Gotham by Gaslight was originally a much-loved DC Elseworlds story, featuring Bruce Wayne (alongside several familiar faces) becoming Batman in 1889, and investigating whether Jack the Ripper has come to Gotham.
Spider-Man PS4’s Open World ‘Several Times Larger’ Than Sunset Overdrive
The New York you'll be swinging through in the upcoming PS4 Spider-Man game will be a big one - "several times larger" than Insomniac's last open world, Sunset City (the setting for Sunset Overdrive).
The developer made the comparison on Twitter, after a fan asked them to compare it to the size of The Witcher 3:
That's not a comparison we can really make. It's several times larger than Sunset City was tho

Sunset Overdrive wasn't small, either - the company said the Xbox One exclusive was "the biggest game we've ever made".

I recently chatted with Spider-Man: Homecoming producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal about the Marvel-Sony movie, during which time we spoke on the record about some of the biggest moments and spoilers in the movie.

We took on the unenviable task of trying to summarize Game of Thrones in a five minute package.
