Pokemon’s Most Powerful, Valuable Competitive Card Just Got a Whole Lot Easier to Obtain

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

If there’s one card in the current competitive Pokemon scene that could be agreed upon as the most powerful of them all, it would be Tapu Lele-GX. Though it might not look like much to the uninitiated, the combination of its Supporter-searching ability, dependable colorless-energy attack, and lack of weakness make it so strong that it’s a must-have for virtually every deck. Most players use at least one copy, but it’s not uncommon to see multiple copies in a deck. The 2018 Pokemon TCG World Champion used three in his deck. It’s just that good.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Ending Explained

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald positions itself as being out to answer the big question left hanging after the first Fantastic Beasts movie: Who, really, is Credence Barebone? If you’ve seen the movie, you know the audience definitively does get that answer, but not in the way likely anyone expected.

Spoilers for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald continue below. Read on at your own risk.

The final scene of the movie has Grindelwald reveal the surprising truth to Credence about his true heritage: He’s a Dumbledore -- Aurelius Dumbledore, to be exact, and the brother of Albus Dumbledore. Grindelwald even has a phoenix to prove that this is Credence’s true lineage. A phoenix, he tells Credence, always appears to a Dumbledore in their time of need. If you’re anything like me, your first question after this twist was a big ol’ “HOW?” We’ll do our best to puzzle it out.

DC Universe’s Titans Reveals Batmobile, Bat Computer

In Episode 5 of Titans, we get a quick glimpse of both the Batmobile and the Bat Computer while watching a flashback of Dick Grayson, dressed as Robin, investigating a crime.

Take a look by flipping through the slideshow below:

As you can see, the long, sleek design looks be taking inspiration from the Batmobile of Batman: The Animated Series, but it does take a few liberties, like the thin red accent line going along the side of the car. Though out of focus, the front of the car appears to have some subtle red elements, as well. Red is not an uncommon design choice for the Batmobile, as we've seen in the Adam West, Batman Beyond, and Grant Morrison versions.

As for the Bat Computer, it’s a bit on the lean side with only a few large monitors comprising the system. There’s less of a definitive vision for what the Bat Computer should look like, with some iterations showing Batman using a very simple setup and some, like The Dark Knight movie, featuring a massive rig.

As showrunner Adi Shankar revealed exclusively to IGN's Jacki Jing, work has begun on a Devil May Cry animated series that will exist as part of a shared multiverse with Castlevania. Suddenly, two of the biggest franchises in the gaming world have become intertwined.

While at first glance these might seem like very random pairings of AAA franchises, there's actually a lot of potential in linking Castlevania and Devil May Cry. Here's how we think these two shows will connect with each other and begin to forge a larger animated multiverse.

Devil May Cry Series Joins Castlevania in New Multi-Verse from Adi Shankar

IGN can confirm that an animated-series adaptation of Capcom's popular video game franchise, Devil May Cry, is in the works. The series will be developed by Castlevania executive producer Adi Shankar.

Shankar, in an exclusive interview with IGN's Jacki Jing, also revealed that his Devil May Cry series “will join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse.”

While Shankar didn't give us any specifics in terms of what this all means for the series' overall story, he did inform us that he "acquired these (Devil May Cry) rights myself so the jabronis in Hollywood don’t f*** this one up too." Shankar's financial investment should allow him more creative freedom, as he begins to build this wildly ambitious multiverse of his.
