Everything We Know About Batman in the Arrowverse After Elseworlds
Warning: The following contains spoilers for the Arrowverse up through "Elseworlds, Part 2."
After the dizzying thrill of Arrow's "Elseworlds, Part 2," (read our review here) which saw a body-swapped Oliver and Barry, plus Kara, head to Gotham City to find answers regarding the crazy reality shift they found themselves in, one thing's for sure: Batman is still off limits.
Much like FOX's Gotham - where everyone else in the Batman bubble is fair game, including any villain who's not the Joker (and Bruce Wayne himself) - Batman is still nowhere to be found within the CW's Arrowsphere. But talking about Batman is all the rage, apparently. That much, they can do!

How Many End Credit Scenes Are in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse?
With the reviews now in for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we can reveal whether there are any end- or post-credit scenes in the Sony-Marvel film and, if so, how many.
Turn away now if you don't want to know!
Still here? OK then...
There isn't really a mid-credits scene in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but there is a nice and touching tribute to Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
The post-credits surprise, on the other hand, is a full-fledged scene.
Again, spoilers follow!
The scene features the surprise arrival of Spider-Man 2099, the Spider-Man of the future. The man under the mask is Miguel O’Hara, voiced by Oscar Isaac (a.k.a. Poe Dameron). His appearance leads to a fun retro-trip to the old Spidey cartoon from the 1960s.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Post Credits Scene Explained
After Miles Morales and his new spider-friends saved the day and credits rolled for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we’re given a bonus scene featuring a fan-favorite Spider character that really got our spider-senses tingling. We’ve got a full breakdown on who this character is and what his presence could mean for the sequel.
Needless to say, but full spoilers ahead!
The surprise character in the end credits scene is none other than Spider-Man 2099, the Spider-Man of the future. The man under the mask is Miguel O’Hara, voiced by Oscar Isaac, who you may know better as Poe Dameron from Star Wars. The Latino Isaac is a fitting casting choice given that Miguel is Marvel’s first-ever Latino spider-character.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Directors on Stan Lee Cameo
Some SPOILERS ahead for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse continues the long-running tradition of Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee making a cameo in a film based on a Marvel character, but this is the first time audiences will see the Spider-Man co-creator acting onscreen since Lee's death in November.
(While Lee's avatar appears in Disney's Ralph Breaks the Internet, which opened November 21st, Spider-Verse is Lee's first proper scene since his cameo in October''s Venom.)
Seeing Stan Lee's cameo in Spider-Verse thus carries far more emotional resonance in light of his passing, particularly when Lee's character in the film, a costume store cashier named Stan, says of that universe's late Peter Parker, whom he claims to have been friendly with, "I sure am gonna miss him."
Opinion: How Crash Team Racing Beat Mario Kart at Its Own Game
Confession time: I only tolerate the Mario Kart series because it reminds me of Crash Team Racing. There. I said it.
Right now there are likely a few of you wondering why IGN would play host to such heresy. The audacity! Mario Kart: the second highest-selling racing series of all time behind Need for Speed. Mario Kart: the original kart racer, and the blueprint for every kart racer ever since. Mario Kart! The greatest spin-off series since they decided to build a new Starship Enterprise and put Patrick Stewart in charge of it.
But the rest of you are saying, ‘Duh. Crash Team Racing crushes Mario Kart. This isn’t a radically unique opinion.’
And yet, after just a pair of PS2 sequels that never resonated with me in quite the same way, Crash’s four-wheeled follies dried up. A fourth, unannounced Crash karting game was reportedly in development at High Impact Games last generation, but it was cancelled for unknown reasons around 2010 (clearly there was only room in Activision’s quiver for a single kart game, and the flaccid Dreamworks money-spinner Madagascar Kartz had already beaten Crash to the shelves). The marsupial himself was mothballed for many years until his 2017 resurrection in the warmly received Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, the success of which has certainly paved the road for the newly-announced Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled.
