The Batman v Superman four-year anniversary is today, March 25, and fans came out in droves to show their support of the Zack Snyder movie with some of their favorite shots from the movie. Zack Snyder's last complete DC movie, Batman v Superman, hit theaters four years ago on March 25, 2016, and fans have the hashtag #BvS4Years trending on Twitter as a result. With new tweets going up every few seconds featuring stills from the movie, custom art, apparel, and feel-good stories about personal connections to the movie. We've created a slideshow of just a handful of the movie stills and accompanying words shared on Twitter that you can check out below. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=batman-v-superman-four-year-anniversary&captions=true"] Some fans are using this opportunity to voice their support of specific scenes or shots. Others are sharing their thoughts on the movie, calling it "severely underrated," "absolutely beautiful," and the "best comic book movie ever made." You won't find negativity in this thread and it's clear that fans of the movie are still thinking about it four years later. Others are using the trending moment to voice their support of Zack Snyder's fabled cut of Justice League using the now-famous hashtag #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. This cut of the movie seemingly exists if the original director of the movie's Vero posts is anything to go by. Stars of that movie have even voiced their support of this cut with Ben Affleck commenting on it as recent as last month. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/03/25/5-ways-superman-could-destroy-batman"] Whether or not the Snyder Cut ever amounts to anything more is unknown, but one thing that is known is that fans of Batman v Superman absolutely adore the movie and still look back on it fondly four years later.

AMC Theaters has announced that the company has furloughed its corporate employees, including its CEO Adam Aron. The decision was made after the COVID-19 pandemic forced AMC to close 634 move theater locations across the U.S. and Canda. “At this time, AMC is not terminating any of its corporate employees, however, we were forced under the circumstances to implement a furlough plan, which is absolutely necessary to preserve cash and to ensure that AMC can reopen our doors once this health crisis has dissipated,” the company said in a statement to Variety. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] The theater closures impacted 27,000 U.S. employees. During this time, AMC announced that it would pay those employees “as much as we can possibly afford to pay them,” while also providing those who qualify to continue to have health-care benefits. AMC maintains that it intends to bring back its employees once the movie theaters re-open. AMC previously tried to keep theaters open at 50% capacity, but ultimately ended up closing theaters. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a massive disruption in the U.S. workforce, resulting in a wave of layoffs for non-essential staff, or new work situations that discourages direct contact and mass gatherings. Retailers like GameStop announced stores would be closed in favor of online orders and curbside pick-ups. Check out IGN’s resource on how to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic here.

Michael Rooker is the butt -- or perhaps more accurately the face -- of his friend and Guardians of the Galaxy franchise director James Gunn's recent cheeky social media post. Gunn, who is staying at home like nearly everyone else during the coronavirus pandemic, revealed that he's had to break into his stash of prank toilet paper rolls featuring the face of his frequent cast member and pal Rooker. "I bought a bunch of these rolls of toilet paper as a joke when Rooker came over for Christmas a couple years ago - I put them in all the bathrooms of the house," Gunn tweeted. "I never thought we were actually going to have to use them, but here we are." Gunn and Rooker have collaborated on a number of films Gunn either produced or directed, including Guardians of the Galaxy Volumes 1 and 2, Super, Slither, Brightburn, and The Belko Experiment. Gunn and Rooker's next collaboration is the 2021 DC movie The Suicide Squad. After that film, Gunn will segue to directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for Marvel Studios. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/25/james-gunn-and-elizabeth-banks-respond-to-ign-comments] Would you use a roll of toilet paper with Michael Rooker's face on it?

Over 450 students of the United Kingdom's National Film and Television School got a nice surprise when director, David Fincher, gave a remote masterclass in filmmaking. Fincher's filmography covers a multitude of major films like Fight Club, Seven, and Zodiac. With the United Kingdom going into lockdown on Tuesday over coronavirus concerns, the National Film and Television School used this as an opportunity to enlighten students.

Netflix has announced that it has ordered an Angry Birds: Summer Madness animated series which is set to premiere in 2021 on the streaming platform. The series will feature a teenage version of Red, Bomb, and Chuck as they head to summer camp. Reported by Deadline, the beloved birds will be up to their regular antics and wild adventures, under the direction of their camp counselor, Mighty Eagle. Of course, the rather obnoxious Pigs won't be far away and will be setting up camp across the river, because no summer camp experience would be complete without a rival camp causing chaos. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/09/29/history-of-awesome-angry-birds"] While this is the first Angry Birds title to come to television, the franchise has already released two successful films, with the first title bringing in $107 million.

We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Cake and can’t wait to unveil the world of Angry Birds: Summer Madness to viewers on Netflix." "Angry Birds are about to smash the small screen and we are thrilled to be making the journey with Netflix as our global partner," said Cake Entertainment's Ed Galton.

With a rich history in gaming, Sega is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a new timeline website that chronicles its journey as a company and its history in the gaming industry. For its 60th anniversary, Sega also introduced a new website and ambassador called Sega Shiro (Segata Sanshiro) who's played by the actor Hiroshi Fujioka. The new website will take fans through the past six decades of Sega history, including the story of its founding, the launch of various consoles and IPs, and much more. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=sonic-the-hedgehog-all-the-easter-eggs-and-hidden-references-from-the-movie&captions=true"] The Sega timeline starts in the 1960s with the founding of Nihon Goraku Bussan Co., Ltd, which would later become Sega. According to the timeline, Sega first got started in the gaming industry in 1964, when it began producing commercial arcade equipment. In 1983, Sega released its first home gaming console, the SG-1000. Costing ¥15,000 ($134 USD). the console released in Japan the same day as Nintendo's Famicom, and ended up selling 160,000 units in its first year, far exceeding Sega's expectations and officially marking its interest in the home console market. In 1988, Sega released the Mega Drive in Japan, better known as the Sega Genesis in the United States. The Genesis saw the first release of Sega's most iconic character, Sonic the Hedgehog, and solidified the companies name in the gaming industry, selling over 15 million units in North America alone. In what most consider to be the peak of Sega, the 1990s saw the release of multiple Sonic games and two new consoles, the Sega Saturn (1994) and the Dreamcast (1998). While the Dreamcast turned out to be Sega's final home game console, the company had quite the battle with Nintendo in the '90s, which has since been dubbed "the console wars." In the 2000's Sega's story mostly revolved around new IPs like Phantasy Star Online (2000), Yakuza (2005), and much more. Additionally, Sega also manufactured a variety of tech products like HomeStar, the world's first optical projection home planetarium [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/13/sonic-the-hedgehog-review"] Recently, Sega oversaw the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which came to theaters earlier this year. The film was received quite well in the box offices, becoming the best showing of all time for a video game movie. Be sure to check out our official Sonic movie review as well as reviews from various IGN staff members.

For years, X-Men fans accused Marvel Comics of attempting to downplay the merry mutants in favor of the Inhumans. Now former Marvel writer Rick Remender has lent fuel to that fire, revealing he abandoned plans to write Marvel's flagship X-Men title back in 2014 because of a "mandated Inhumans story." Remender has been very active on Twitter in recent days, posting glimpses of various Marvel and DC pitches that never came to be. Among those is a "story bible" he put together for Extraordinary X-Men, a 2015 comic that ultimately wound up in the hands of writer Jeff Lemire and artist Humberto Ramos instead. Remender reveals he had crafted a two-year plan for the franchise, one which would have hinged on psychic mutants Fantomex, Professor Xavier, Jean Grey and Mastermind.

Just found my entire 2 year X-bible plans from when I was going to take over the X books. Haven't opened it since I quit in 2014. Was very Fantomex, Jean, and Professor X-orn centric. Big bad was Mastermind. Just couldn't make myself do the mandated Inhumans story. c'est la vie pic.twitter.com/q122dxV8Yg

Remender writes, "Just found my entire 2 year X-bible plans from when I was going to take over the X books. Haven't opened it since I quit in 2014. Was very Fantomex, Jean, and Professor X-orn centric. Big bad was Mastermind. Just couldn't make myself do the mandated Inhumans story. c'est la vie." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-top-25-marvel-villains &captions=true"] Remender's tweet is a rare, open acknowledgement of creative tensions behind the scenes as Marvel worked to elevate the Inhumans franchise in the wake of 2013's Infinity, a story which culminated with the creation of a Terrigen cloud that simultaneously created new Inhumans and poisoned mutants, radically altering the course of both franchises. That story eventually led to 2017's Inhumans vs. X-Men crossover. Understandably, Marvel has never outright admitted to downplaying the X-Men in favor of the Inhumans, but it's been widely assumed the company was prioritizing a franchise to which it fully owned the multimedia rights, as opposed to one whose rights were still in the hands of 21st Century Fox at the time. Marvel's Executive Editor Tom Brevoort effectively said as much when he wrote in 2014, "If you had two things, and on one you earned 100% of the revenues from the efforts that you put into making it, and the other you earned a much smaller percentage for the same amount of time and effort, you’d be more likely to concentrate more heavily on the first, wouldn’t you?" Coupled with an established pattern of Marvel downplaying the X-Men and Fantastic Four in its merchandising, many readers were unhappy with the way the X-Men seemed to be sidelined in favor of the Inhumans. Remender's tweet suggests at least some Marvel creators felt the same way. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/06/the-new-mutants-official-trailer-2"] Remender also revealed he was again offered the keys to the X-Men kingdom as recently as 2019, indicating Marvel may have been exploring other options besides Jonathan Hickman's Dawn of X relaunch. But Remender reiterated his disinterest in returning to Marvel, tweeting, "Was offered the X books again last year but declined. Don't imagine there's a world where I'll put myself through that again." Remender's Twitter feed is currently a treasure trove of concept art and other unused story pitches. He also posted a rejected pitch for a Spider-Man story called Pandora's Box, which would have dealt with a new group of insect-themed villains created through the same process that gave Peter Parker his powers. Remender even revealed he and American Vampire artist Rafael Albuquerque once pitched a DC series called Justice League of Tomorrow, built around a futuristic team that includes Superman, Sandman, Firestorm, Poison Ivy, Negative Man, Hawkgirl, Captain Blackhawk and the Atom. [caption id="attachment_2325695" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Justice League of Tomorrow concept art by Rafael Albuquerque[/caption] What do you think of Remender's abandoned X-Men pitch?

Update: Since the publication of this story, reports on Downdetector appear to be dropping rapidly, and several IGN staffers are reporting normal function through the browser app and more. Original story follows: [poilib element="accentDivider"] Users and third-party tracking services are reporting massive problems with Netflix today, Wednesday, March 25. Subscribers are reporting either losing connection or problems with video streaming itself. According to Downdetector, reports about Netflix going down spiked around 9 am PT/12 pm ET. There appear to be problems with connecting to the website browser version of Netflix, and 41% of users are reporting connectivity issues with the service. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] However, some users report that Netflix is still functioning on other platforms such as mobile and third-party streaming devices. Netflix has seen an increased number of users as various cities across the globe issue lockdown orders or shelter-in-place directives amidst a COVID-19 pandemic that's currently affecting the world. Last week, Netflix announced that it would be lowering the quality of its streams in the EU by default to ease the strain the uptick in usage has had on local internet networks. The move is similar to ones made in recent days by YouTube, Amazon, and PlayStation. For recommendations on how to stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic, read our resource guide.
