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.
Observation: Playing As an AI In Next Year’s Smartest Game
“A really simple way to break it down,” says No Code co-founder Jon McKellan, “is that Observation is kind of 2001: A Space Odyssey - but you’re HAL.”
It’s a beautiful elevator pitch for the new game from (and longtime passion project for) the studio behind Stories Untold, but the real joy of Observation comes from just how deeply it’s aiming to communicate what it is to play as that disembodied intelligence. McKellan has another statement to sum that up: “You’re not on a space station, you are the space station”.
Set on the LOSS (that’s Low Orbit Space Station), Observation opens as station AI, Systems Administration and Maintenance (SAM for short) reboots. Something has happened, but it’s unclear what that might be. Lights strobe, alarms sound, and the only contactable crew member is station doctor Emma Fisher - she’s stuck in an airlock. It seems fitting that, as part of the rich lineage of talking space computers, your first task should be to open a door on command.

F*** Batman: 10 DC Characters Who Owned The Dark Knight
The conversation surrounding the new live-action Titans show on the DC Universe subscription service has been dominated by one phrase in particular: "F*** Batman," uttered by ex-Boy Wonder Dick Grayson aka Robin, played by Brenton Thwaites.
It's a justifiably memetic moment, all things considered but, despite the abruptness and the shock sparked by the trailer, the F-Batman lifestyle has been alive and well in the DC Universe proper for decades. Sure, Bruce Wayne might be one of the most popular superheroes of all time, but in fiction that's not always the case. In fact, Bruce has been inspiring his fellow heroes to go for cold blooded owns at his expense for years. So in the true F*** Batman spirit, we've compiled a list of 10 memorable attempts made at dunking on the Dark Knight.

Kraven the Hunter Screenwriter Says Movie May Feature Spider-Man
Spider-Man may not have made it into Venom, but he could have a cameo in another upcoming spin off film. Richard Wenk confirmed to Discussing Film that he's penning Kraven the Hunter's script and may write Spider-Man into it.
"It's in the Spider-Man universe. I'm going to adhere very closely to the lore of Kraven the Hunter, and he's going to come face-to-face with Spider-Man," said Wenk. "I think that where we're all circling is that this is Kraven's Last Hunt, and whether this is the precursor to that movie, whether it will include it, we're talking about those things. And even the idea that maybe Kraven could be like Kill Bill, basically a two-part movie. It's all in the mix."
