Here’s a better glimpse at the costumes that DC Comics’ biggest three superheroes will be wearing in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Batman’s new suit takes big cues from the Frank Miller iteration from The Dark Knight Returns and Wonder Woman’s gear looks a bit more colorful than the promo shots released thus far.…
Let’s forget about that crappy leaked version, okay?

In it, you can see Superman’s presence…
A Bruce Wayne Batman meets an alternate-reality Batman who’s really his father Thomas Wayne. So much ripe potential in having these different Dark Knights meet up, right?

Justice League: Gods and Monsters won’t be like the other recent animated film projects from Warner Brothers. This one won’t be…
I’ve been waiting for a show about Marvel’s blind lawyer superhero lawyer for, like, 20 years. So, of course, I binged on the new Daredevil show on Netflix as soon as I could. I wasn’t the only one here at Kotaku who felt that way. You know what? We loved it. Daredevil’s a different beast…
A bunch of new characters are ripping each other’s body parts out in Mortal Kombat X. That’s nothing new in the decades-old fighting series. But, a gay character? That is definitely new. Kung Jin—a one of the new Shaolin Monks fighting for Earthrealm—appears to be the first gay male character in Mortal Kombat. The revelation…
This week, there’s a comic where a Predator from the movies of the same name stalks Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead. A newly dead body drips blood all over America’s favorite lily-white teenagers as the alien hunter observes them from a tree branch above. Of course, they never look up. So freakin’ great. Archie comic…
I’ve been playing Mortal Kombat X since late last night and I don’t want to stop. Honestly, I’m a little annoyed that I have to stop playing NetherRealm’s newest installment of the long-lived martial-arts series to actually write about it. Whether it’s been in the snarkily self-aware Story Mode or playing against another human online,…

Players get him at the end of Story Mode. (It’s not clear…

The first teaser for Marvel’s next solo superhero movie was a bit gloomier, focusing on Scott Lang’s messed-up life.

With a new Netflix TV series on the way, now’s a good time to learn about blind lawyer Matt Murdock and his long, twisted superhero career as Daredevil. Good news.

There will be games for the Apple Watch. Of course. One of them—a role-playing game called Runeblade—will have battles that last anywhere from five to 15 seconds. You’re probably going to look pretty silly playing it. The trailer for the first Apple Watch RPG doesn’t offer up any details about how to actually play it.…
Superman back in his classic “red underwear” outfit. Barbara Gordon back in her Oracle identity and in a romance with Nightwing. Both Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain back as Batgirl (sort of).
