AMC’s Into the Badlands: Exclusive Season 3 Images
Warning! SPOILERS follow for Seasons 1 and 2 of Into the Badlands.
AMC's Into the Badlands is one of the best martial arts shows on television, featuring stellar fight choreography that's usually saved for big budget movie productions. The series is set in a future feudal society, in a territory known as the Badlands. The world is filled with strife, as various clans struggle for supremacy over one another. Season 3 of Into the Badlands premieres on AMC on April 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Season 3 finds Sunny (Daniel Wu), an elite warrior known as a Clipper, doing his best to raise his infant son, Henry, following Veil's death in Season 2. After Henry contracts a strange illness, Sunny must join forces with Baije (Nick Frost) and journey back to the Badlands to search for a cure. Series favorites The Widow (Emily Beecham) and Baron Chau (Eleanor Matsuura) return as the Badlands find themselves once again engulfed in war. Below are exclusive images of some new, and returning characters from the third season.
Nintendo Switch: Dataminers Discover Hardware Update Clues
Dataminers have discovered possible references to upcoming changes in Nintendo Switch hardware - although this doesn't necessarily mean an entirely new version of the console.
As spotted by ResetEra user Atheerios, dataminers at Switchbrew discovered a new folder, added after the console's recent 5.0 firmware upgrade. The folder appears to point to a new Switch hardware configuration, seemingly codenamed 'Mariko'.
Initially, Switch hackers believed that this may simply be covering a replacement CPU chip, swapping the current Tegra 210 with the Tegra 214, after it was discovered that the 210 was vulnerable to hacking, even with new firmware.
DC Releasing Prelude to the Wedding One-Shots Before Batman and Catwoman Marry
Batman and Catwoman are tying the knot in July, but before they do, DC is releasing a series of Prelude To The Wedding one-shots in June.
Comicbook.com reports the five stories will be written by Tim Seeley (Green Lanterns, Hellblazer), who will be joined by a number of artists from DC's stable of talent, while Rafael Albuquerque will handle the covers.
Batman proposed to Catwoman in Batman #24 and after leaving us with a cliffhanger at the end of the issue, she finally said yes. DC Nation #0 was the first one-shot to be released in the countdown to the event that featured three stories.
FLCL 2 and 3 Release Dates and Official Titles Announced
FLCL's sequels come in the form of FLCL: Progressive this summer and FLCL: Alternative this fall, Adult Swim announced.
On June 2, FLCL: Progressive, or FLCL 2 as it’s been known until now, will debut on Adult Swim's Toonami at 11:30 PM (ET/PT). Progressive follows 14-year-old Hidomi and her classmate, Ide, as they’re pulled into antics to “unlock their hidden potential” by two otherworldly beings, Haruha Raharu and Jinyu. The synopsis promises the return of ATOMSK and a “certain Vespa Scooter.”
FLCL: Alternative, or FLCL 3, debuts sometime in September on Toonami. This season “hands the series over to a totally different team of young creators who will redefine the meaning of ‘sequel,’” the announcement states. Alternative features 17-year-old Kana and her three friends Pets, Mossan, and Hijiri who live ordinary lives until Haruko and a mech fall out of the sky. ATOMSK is also involved somehow in this season.
Dragon Ball Legends PvP Fighting Game Announced for Mobile
Bandai Namco has announced a new title for iOS and Android. Dragon Ball Legends was unveiled at the company's GDC presentation yesterday with the biggest feature being global, real-time PvP.
A 3D, 3v3 fighting game, Legends has players control their chosen characters by tapping cards at the bottom of the screen.
Dragon Ball Legends overseas producer, Toshitaka Tachibana, took to the stage to provide more details, describing the 3D gameplay as "heavily action oriented" and "exactly what the Dragon Ball fans wanted on a mobile app."
The global, real-time PvP is really the main event, allowing players from all over the world to face off against one another. Global PvP means players won't be separated by regions or areas, as it would "lose the point of having a global PvP system to begin with."

Justice League Is the Lowest Grossing Film in the DC Universe
DC's Justice League has ended its box office run, coming in as the lowest-grossing movie in the DC Extended Universe in the US. There's a chance that may become true internationally, too.
io9 reports that Justice League's US takings of $229,024,295 puts it dead last out of the five DCEU films released so far, grossing around $60 million less than 2013's Man of Steel.
It currently ranks last out of the five DCEU movies internationally too, sitting at $657,924,295. That's $10 million shy of Man of Steel, but the film is still open in some territories, meaning that may not be the case for much longer.
