Meet Supergirl’s True Nemesis: Capes
Supergirl Season 3 is soaring to Blu-ray and DVD on September 18, so we're celebrating the occasion with an exclusive clip from the gag reel, which will be available as part of the home video release's special features.
In our hilarious sneak peek, we discover that Kara's weakness may not be Kryptonite after all - who needs a green rock when your costume can attack you just as easily?
Looks like the heroes of Supergirl should've taken Edna Mode's fashion advice: No capes!
When Supergirl Season 4 premieres this fall, you can expect several new characters following the exits of Mon-El and Winn last season. As announced at Comic-Con, the show will introduce TV's first transgender superhero, Dreamer (played by trans activist Nicole Maines), Agent Liberty (Sam Witwer), and Manchester Black (David Ajala).

Nintendo Switch Online: NES Games Can Only Be Played Offline for Up to Seven Days
Nintendo Switch Online, the paid online service coming to the Nintendo Switch tomorrow, will not require an always-on internet connection to play its included NES downloadable titles, and will let users play those downloaded games offline for up to seven days.
Revealed on the official Nintendo Switch Online FAQ on the Nintendo of America website (as well as Nintendo's UK website), the complimentary NES games that come with the service aren’t tethered to an active internet connection. While users will naturally need to be online in order to download the games, they won’t have to fret about not being able to play these games while on a morning commute, or while going camping for the weekend.

Destiny 2 Players Beat Forsaken Raid, Unlock New Content for Everyone
Bungie promised that Last Wish, the raid included in Destiny 2's Forsaken DLC, would be a challenge for even hardened players, and it seems to have delivered on that promise. It took nearly 19 hours before Last Wish was first beaten, the longest it's taken the community to beat any Destiny raid for the first time. But they got something for everyone in the process.
After Clan Redeem beat the Raid, Bungie unlocked a new Dreaming City-themed Strike and Gambit map for all Forsaken players. Additionally, all players will now see a new cutscene when they enter the Dreaming City, which is Forsaken's endgame location.
Clan Redeem's completion of Last Wish also generated an ominous in-game message to all Destiny 2 players notifying them of the accomplishment. "A team of Guardians entered the heart of the Dreaming City and slew Riven of a Thousand Voices," read the message. "They had no way of knowing that was exactly what Riven wanted..."
