SDCC 2015

Ten characters, one director, one producers and no answers about the most pressing question.

Play as Dipper and Mabel and help Jeff the gnome retrieve ancient Gnome Gemulets in Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets. This new title from Ubisoft launches this fall on Nintendo 3DS.

San Diego Comic Con attendees at the Warner Bros panel this morning got to see new footage from Batman v Superman, featuring Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor in action. Luckily for us, Warmer Bros has already put it up online. The cast of BvS took the stage to talk production and revealed some interesting tidbits:

• Christian Bale's advice to Ben Affleck re: the Batman suit: "make sure you can piss in that thing." Touché, Bale, touché.
• Batman v Superman is an homage to Frank Miller and the Dark Knight, according to Snyder, but is not the same story.
• Gotham and Metropolis are twin cities in the film, much like Oakland and San Francisco.
• Batman's suit in BvS is intentionally larger to protect him from Superman, so maybe it won't be as cheesy as it looked in some of the promo images.

Attendees also got a look at Suicide Squad, which many described on Twitter as being very dark, cynical, and violent. Looks like there won't be any goofy, Marvel-esque antics here. Watch the potato quality version below:





The panel also revealed that next Green Lantern film won't be just another retelling of Hal Jordan's story; it'll feature the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force made up of more than 7000 lanterns. This reveal isn't surprising, given Tyrese Gibson's recent tease of two lanterns on Instagram:

HitFix has just updated their live blog of the San Diego Comic Con Game of Thrones panel with Sophie Turner's reaction to her character's wedding night.

If you don't know what happened, obviously spoilers here.

For the rest of us, we remember far too well how Ramsay Snow forcibly took Sansa's virginity and the terrible spectacle of seeing the bottom of that character's tragic arc.

People got real pissed about it.

Anyway, Turner came out really positive on her character in an answer to an audience question:

"If there's one thing Sansa still is, despite what happened to her, she's still strong."

She was also asked about why the director chose to zoom in on Theon during the wretched scene.

"I don't know because I was giving a great performance.Sansa could've fought back but she chose not to. She does her scheming her mind."

So there you have it. Sansa has scheming afoot and let's hope neither of them broke their legs jumping off the turreted walls of Winterfell.

Conan O'brien is on a post-Comic Con streak, here. Especially since he was able to gain access to George R. R. Martin's home camera system. 

And lo, we all learn what keeps Mr. Martin busy while his characters remain in some sort of literary limbo.

UPDATE: Eisenberg has clarified his comment, saying, "Maybe on some cellular memory level, that's the only thing that seems like an equivalent social experience. Even if they're saying nice things, just being shouted at by thousands of people, it's horrifying. I of course was using hyperbole to describe the sensory overload I experienced. I sometimes do employ that. I'm a normal person who has normal sensory experiences, so Comic-Con was very overwhelming for me. That said, it was really an honor to be on that end of such jubilation. That people are excited about it in that way is unheard of and thrilling."

Get your cringe face ready, you're gonna need it for this one.

When asked about his experience at San Diego Comic Con, Jesse Eisenberg said attending was akin to genocide:

"It is like being screamed at by thousands of people. I don't know what the experience is throughout history, probably some kind of genocide. I can't think of anything that's equivalent."



Attending Comic Con is certainly hard on celebrities; it can't be easy being screamed at and accosted by fans, but genocide? What?

This isn't the first time Eisenberg has made headlines for his behavior in interviews, either. In 2013 he developed a reputation as a jerk after being insufferably rude in an interview for the film Now You See Me:



Cringe, cringe everywhere.

Michael DiMartino will be writing a Legend of Korra comic series. His co-creator, Bryan Konietzko has assisted with the story, and will consult on the art for the series. The comic will be published by Dark Horse in three volumes. No release date has been set.

The Doctor is joining Wyldstyle, Batman and Gandalf on a new adventure through time, space, and bricks in LEGO's answer to Skylanders/Amiibo/Disney Infinity, LEGO Dimensions. Players build LEGO sets that allow them to access characters in the game by use of an NFC portal. LEGO Dimensions will feature levels based on Back to the Future, Portal, the Simpsons, and as seen above, Doctor Who.

Not a fan of the newest Doctor? Don't worry, all the Doctors will be joining the fray as playable characters. The game will be released on September 27 in North America and September 29 in Europe. 

SDCC has given us a glimpse at Mike Colter and Krysten Ritter as Luke Cage and Jessica Jones in the Netflix series Jessica Jones, and it's on fire! Literally. Luke Cage has unbreakable skin, so he'll be fine.
