Deadpool 2: Cable Actor Josh Brolin Trolls Ryan Reynolds
Josh Brolin is preparing for his role as Cable in Deadpool 2 the best way he knows how, by trolling Ryan Reynolds.
Brolin shared a pair of pre-production photos on Instagram where the actor is undergoing prep for the make-up and prosthetics he will require in the sequel. Some of the hashtags he used (uh, "#ryanreyondsismybitch"...) indicates that Deadpool shouldn't be taking the grumpy time-traveling mutant (and son of Cyclops in the comics) lightly.

All the Batgirls Explained
For many fans, their first and most memorable encounter with the crime-fighting crusader called Batgirl was with Yvonne Craig’s indelibly campy and iridescently alluring portrayal from the third season of the 1960s Batman TV series. For another generation, it may have been the post-Batgirl Barbara Gordon as the wheelchair-bound Oracle that intrigued them, or perhaps it was one of the several other versions of Batgirl entirely.
Soon, a whole new crop of comics-loving moviegoers will meet yet another version of the character when the recently announced Batgirl feature film helmed by none other than The Avengers’ Joss Whedon comes to theaters… in a few years. But no matter what incarnation we’re talking about -- and there are quite a few -- we’re here to tell you that Batgirl is nobody’s baby, and she sure isn’t “a chick who fell in from outer space.” Her history is far more complicated and controversial than you might guess; in fact, several women have worn the mantle of the Bat, so let’s get started and find out everything we can about their scene!

Nintendo Will Reportedly Release SNES Classic Edition This Year
Nintendo discontinued the NES Classic Edition because it will release the much-requested SNES Classic Edition this year, according to a new report.
Eurogamer - whose sources correctly leaked information about Nintendo's Switch console prior to its reveal - claims that the SNES Classic Edition (or SNES Mini in Europe) will be released in time for Christmas, and that development is underway.
There's no information on what games the microconsole could include, nor whether it aims to correct some of the problems with NES Classic Edition, such as its unit shortages, and its absurdly short controller cable.
