Legends of Tomorrow: 6 Time-Bending Season 3 Teases
Be advised of spoilers ahead for the first two seasons of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
If there's one thing the Legends of Tomorrow aren't great at, it's keeping the timeline intact. As the Season 3 finale came to a close, the team of misfits arrived back in modern day Los Angeles, only to find dinosaurs roaming the planet. That leaves them with a big problem to solve when Season 4 kicks off -- and some tough lessons to learn.
Perhaps the Legends aren't the ones that will be saving the world this year, though. Phil Klemmer, who serves as Executive Producer on Legends of Tomorrow, spoke with IGN about the new season, the scary villains it will bring and explains what, exactly, a Time Bureau does.

Nintendo Teases New Arms Update Coming This Month
A new update for Arms was teased during the Nintendo World Championships, offering a sneak peek at what appears to be some sort of badge system, as well as a new version of Spring Man.
The update (ver. 3.2) will be released sometime later this month. Check out the trailer below for a look at the upcoming achievement-esque system, as well as a peek at Spring Man sporting a new look.
Whether this new version of Spring Man is a completely new addition to the roster or a hint that character costumes are possibly on the way remains unclear.
Last month brought with it the arrival of the new character Lola Pop and a candy-themed arena. Head over to IGN's Arms wiki for a look at all of the game's fighters, as well as a helpful set of tips, tricks, and more.
The Justice League and Doom Patrol Join Forces
DC Comics is gearing up for the first major crossover between the Justice League and the revamped Doom Patrol in early 2018. Yesterday at NYCC we learned more about "Milk Wars," the weekly crossover that brings these two teams together.
"Milk Wars" is a weekly crossover that begins in January 2018. The story revolves around the debut of a new, Frank Quitely-designed villain called Milkman Man. The villain is being compared to the Anti-Monitor from Crisis on Infinite Earths, as his goal is to "homogenize" the DCU and remove all traces of strangeness. Naturally, that doesn't sit well with the quirky heroes of Doom Patrol.

There Could Be More Batman 1966 Animated Movies
It has been assumed that Batman vs. Two-Face, the new animated film from Warner Bros. and DC, would be the last adventure for the classic 1966 TV version of the Dynamic Duo starring the late Adam West and Burt Ward. Since West is sadly no longer with us, this was surely his swan song. Or so we all thought.
But today at New York Comic Con I spoke to Ward, who of course plays Robin, and he strongly implied that if Batman vs. Two-Face is successful, there could be more animated films based on the 1966 show. I asked him what it was like knowing this movie was the last teaming of his Dynamic Duo and his response was, “I don’t know about that.”
“I don’t know much,” he hinted. “But I do enough that if this movie does well, it won’t be the last.”
Rick and Morty Fans Riled After McDonald’s Sauce Shortage
Fast food chain McDonald's has left Rick and Morty fans upset after running out of Szechuan dipping sauce during its one-day promotion.
The promotion, which brought back the out-of-production sauce that was recently referenced in Rick and Morty's third season, was announced early this month and would see select locations offer a limited run of the sauce.
According to The Guardian, McDonald's locations quickly ran out of the Szechuan sauce, angering fans to the point where, in at least one location, police were called to the scene after people began chanting: "we want sauce."
Will This Batman Comic Kill the Dark Knight?
Writer Scott Snyder is currently in the midst of his most ambitious Batman story yet thanks to Dark Nights: Metal, but that didn't stop him form teasing his next (and potentially last) Batman project at NYCC this weekend. Snyder and artist Sean Gordon Murphy are planning to reunite on a new series called Batman: Last Knight.

The Walking Dead Shows Season 8 Scene to NYCC Fans
Those in attendance at today's The Walking Dead panel at New York Comic Con were treated to a scene from the Season 8 premiere.
As reported by IGN comics editor Joshua Yehl, who was in attendance at the panel, the scene opens during the day with Carl (Chandler Riggs) scouring an abandoned gas station in search of supplies. When he hears the voice of a man nearby, Carl draws his gun and slowly explores the area while the man proceeds to tell a creepy story about his mother teaching him manners.
Carl then gets down on the ground to look underneath the cars in the area and sees what appears the be the foot of a man. After rising to his feet, he approaches from around the corner with caution as the screen cuts to black just as he turns to face the man and see his identity.
The Walking Dead to Crossover with Fear The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has confirmed AMC's hit zombie series will crossover with the network's prequel series Fear the Walking Dead.
During today's The Walking Dead panel at New York Comic Con, Kirkman said the two The Walking Dead shows will crossover when a character—whose identity he didn't specify—from one show makes an appearance in the other.
In favor of keeping things a mystery, he said coyly that it's possible we could see the backstory of a character from The Walking Dead featured in Fear the Walking Dead, a future version of a character from Fear the Walking Dead in The Walking Dead, or perhaps something else entirely.
This isn't the first time Kirkman has spoken about a crossover between the two shows, as he teased the possibly just a few months ago at San Diego Comic Con.
