Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Has the Franchise’s Best Launch Sales of This Generation
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the latest in the sprawling series that began in 2007, reportedly holds the best launch sales in the series for this current console generation, beating out launch sales for Origins, Syndicate and Unity.
Announced by Ubisoft, the developer attributes high review scores and positive player feedback for the strong sales. Though no solid numbers were given, we do know that Origins sold twice as fast as Syndicate in a 10-day period following launch. It's unclear if the statistic includes Black Flag, which was released on current generation consoles as well as consoles from the previous generation, and shipped over 10 million units within two months.

F’ Batman?! All the Other Times Batman and Robin Broke Up
Batman and Robin may have the single most iconic partnership in the superhero world, but their relationship isn't all sunshine and roses. Take the trailer for the live-action Titans series, for example. When Robin isn't smashing his boot of justice into evil's neck, he's shocking audiences everywhere by saying "F*** Batman!"
That may be a particularly extreme case of Batman and Robin's relationship turning sour, but there's definitely a precedent here. Between his antisocial personality and his habit of letting sidekicks die on the job, Batman has had quite a few nasty breakups over the years. Here are the most memorable cases in DC's comics, TV shows and movies.
Joker Movie Extras Reportedly Locked in Subway Train, Forced to Urinate on Train Tracks
Movie extras filming scenes in the Brooklyn subway station for the Joker movie were reportedly locked on a subway car for over 3 hours, according to TMZ.
The extras were denied their break after two hours of work and started banging on the subway doors asking to be let out as many needed to use the restroom. The lack of being allowed to leave the subway car led to some resorting to urinating on the train tracks through small spaces between the cars.
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) reportedly received a complaint about a required break time violation during production and sent out a representative to resolve the situation. SAG will be monitoring the the set and follow-up as needed.
