In Titan Comics’ new Bloodborne: The Death of Sleep – written by Ales Kot (Generation Gone, Zero), with art by Piotr Kowalski (Wolfenstein, Dark Souls) – a nameless Hunter awakens in an ancient city where horrific beasts stalk the shadows and the streets run slick with the blood of the damned. Seeking an escape from the endless Night of the Hunt, the Hunter embarks upon a dangerous, gore-filled quest with the hopes of ending Yharnam’s twisted endemic.
Said Bloodborne writer Ales Kot:
Bloodborne is one of my all-time favorite games. I put close to two hundred hours into playing it and researching its universe, and that was before I even knew there would be a comic — I was obsessed. I am honored to be working within the Bloodborne universe. There will be mystery, the weird, the eerie, the horrific and the bloody — and there will be an undercurrent of decaying romanticism,...

Warners continues developing DC Comics' superhero 'Booster Gold' for a live-action feature, written by Zack Stentz for producers Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Sarah Schechter:
"I'm attached to a few films now," said Berlanti.
"...and one, 'Booster Gold', is a DC property. Zack Stentz, who wrote an episode of 'Flash' last year, just got the job, so he's writing the script now..."
"Booster Gold" (previously appearing in The CW's live-action "Smallville" TV series) was created by Dan Jurgens, debuting in DC Comics' "Booster Gold" #1 (February 1986).
The character was initially depicted as glory-seeking 'showboat' from the future, using knowledge of historical events and futuristic technology to stage high-publicity heroics.
But 'Booster' develops over the course of his publication history and through personal tragedies, evolves into a true hero.
"...'Michael Carter' was born poor in the 'Gotham City' of the 25th century, speaking 'Esperanto' as his first language.

Moving Target: The History and Evolution of Green Arrow by Richard Gray. Sequart, $17.99 paperback; $6.99 Kindle edition
Way back when, Green Arrow was sort of the “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” of the superhero set. For a long time, fans could enjoy a new Green Arrow adventure just about every month, but he didn’t enjoy the headliner popularity of his hero pals like Batman or even Wonder Woman.
That’s all almost forgotten now. Today, so many fans enjoy this modern-day Robin Hood in comics, on TV and with licensed merchandise.
For some, Green Arrow became “a thing” when he debuted on TV, first as one of Superboy’s pals in Smallville and then in his own series. (He was briefly on Saturday morning cartoons before that too.)

And the Legion of Doom is responsible for situating him in this vastly different timeline.

We’ve known for a while that the Justice Society of America is coming to Legends of Tomorrow season 2, but The CW has finally released our first look at the team. Operating during World War II, this lot has a storied comic book history and previously appeared in live-action in Smallville a number of years back.
Exactly how much they’ll factor into this show remains to be seen, but we met Hourman in Legends of Tomorrow‘s season 1 finale and promotional art for the series has pointed to Vixen joining the time travelling team. Based on the description for “The Justice Society of America” (an appropriate title), it does sound like the two groups will see eye to eye when they first meet:

It wasn’t perfect, but for the most part, the first season of Legends of Tomorrow exceeded expectations. Going on a trip through time with characters like Rip Hunter, The Atom, and Hawkgirl proved to be a lot of fun, while The CW giving the Arrow/The Flash spinoff plenty of money to play with ensured that it always impressed visually.
Like many time travel stories, the series did occasionally ask for a few too many logic leaps, but that’s nitpicking, and the show has definitely established itself as a worthy addition to the DC TV Universe – which kicked off with Arrow way back when and continues to grow with the addition of Supergirl.

Yesterday Matt and Eric took a bit of a break from the press conference circuit to get a little gaming in at EA Play. We got hands-on time with Titanfall 2, Battlefield I, and FIFA/Madden 17 and are ready to tell you what we thought. Later on we had front row seats for the PlayStation! Come inside to read more about our E3 2016 day two adventure!
Despite the fact the E3 show floor still wasn't open, our second day at E3 2016 was still plenty busy, and we kicked things off with EA Play. Set in an area next door to the La Convention Center, EA set up shop inside the Novo. Within the multi-floored staged space, we got a chance to experience four of the games EA was excited for us to partake in:
Titanfall 2
Placed high up on a rooftop terrace of the Novo, EA built a giant tropical area filled with unknown alien animal sounds, memorabilia from the game, and a giant waterfall. In the middle of this environment was a dome filled with consoles and PCs for gamers to try out their sequel. Just before the demo began, we were treated to a video explaining all the new weapons and Titans we would be playing with. These new Titans would include Ion, a Titan who uses electric energy to power all its weapons and the Scorch Titan that uses fire abilities. Once we were debriefed we were thrust into the battle.
After two games and every character type played, between us. Eric and I agreed that Titanfall 2 felt like a really balanced game. The Titans didn’t feel as clunky as the prequel version and the each soldier played smooth. Usually, there are certain character types that are better than the other, but I didn’t get that feel in Titanfall 2. Each one brings a strength to the battle, none of them felt like they were bringing the team down. My one problem with it was the game we were playing made no sense. We were killing our opponents and yet the other team was getting all the points. I think it was just a bug being a game still in development but that was my biggest issue with the game. Overall, the gameplay is solid and I’m excited to see it finally come to PS4, now including a story mode!
Battlefield I
Once again, we were invited to watch a film explaining all the nuances of the game. Including, the new weaponry, classes (Medic, etc.), vehicles (planes, tanks), environments, and the dreaded Airship (Zeppelin)! They even explained to us that the game would tend to alter its environment, during gameplay. It could be sunny in Northern France and then, all of the sudden, a thick fog could come down and hinder sight lines. Moreover, they revealed that the entire world was built with Frostbite’s destructive engine. Everything from buildings to even environments could get decimated.
Once the tutorial was over, it was finally time to take part in Battlefield 1. I started off inside a tank, as a gunner. I wasn’t able to do much as the driver was going in directions that were not in the middle of the fray. So instead, I decided to test out the Frostbite engine. Sure enough, I making swiss cheese out the Northern French homes.
Later, my driver was killed so I tried taking over the reigns but there was a glitch that wouldn’t let me actually move the tank. Instead, I jumped out and entered the battle by foot. After a few firefights, I was killed and sent back up to the world map to pick my next respawn point. That’s when I decided to try out the plane. I immediately regretted my decision, and so did my gunner I’m sure. The alpha didn’t have a switch to change the game controls from being inverted. So, I’m in the air flying around like a drunkard without a pilot’s license. Things got worse when a thick fog fell upon the battlefield. Note to all gamers, do Not fly through a dense fog if you can’t use inverted motions. Then, I got the brilliant idea to pause the game to try and find a way to take off the inverted function. While I didn’t find it, my plane did find the side of a home and was immediately destroyed. Once again, that Frostbite engine did it’s job. Not only were me and my gunner decimated but so was the house!
Afterward, the airship was summoned and I got to try that out for size. This vehicle is massive and a ton of fun. It’s not practical in the fog but it really can obliterate everything. It uses about 5 different gunner outposts and the Captain’s area where you can pilot the ship. I found myself holding the wheel at one point, looking at the enemy planes muttering, “Good, our first catch of the day.”. Then the battle in the air began. My gunners fought valiantly against the enemy planes. However, the were just too fast. I got a couple of good shots in but, ultimately, the airship was destroyed and I went down with the ship in a fiery blaze that took out many homes and soldiers. In the end, my team and I lost but the gameplay was a lot of fun.
Sports
The next section we experienced is what I’m most known for, Sports games. FIFA 17 and Madden NFL 17 were located on a terrace with green turf surrounding us. We started with FIFA 17 and got a chance to play the new story mode. The game takes on a whole new difficulty as you are locked in as newcomer Alex Hunter, who is just trying to make his mark on Manchester United. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes locker room experience and post game interview where you decide what Alex says. In essence, you actually decide what Alex’s career will be like.
However, when you actually play the game is when it gets rough. In a normal FIFA game, players can use every member of your team. In story mode it’s just Hunter. So you have to constantly get into the right position for you to get the ball. Once you have it, you are judged by what you do. If you tackle badly that’s marks against you. If you shoot poorly, that’s more marks against Hunter. It really does take FIFA to a whole new level. In terms of graphics, FIFA 17 is unmatched by any other sports video game. The players and maneuvers are much crisper than last year’s. At times, it felt like an actual live match.
After FIFA 17, we directed our attention to Madden NFL 17. First, Eric and I decided to play each other. It was tough since I was playing All-Madden and he played Pro. The game really leans toward the player using the lesser level. So, instead I decided to do some solo testing and boy did I find out a Ton!
First off, the new commentary is extremely well done. Charles and Brandon really make the game their own. I also enjoyed all the new entrances and commercials that they’ve added. However, the work they’ve done the most on is Franchise. Madden NFL 17 will now let players truly customize their coaches with new faces, ethnicities, size, and apparel. They’ve also given players the freedom to make their own goals for the season.
Development is also much easier as players can now focus on player development by putting them as one of their three “Focus” players so they earn extra Xp. Game Prep has been taken to a whole new level as the game will now give notes on your weekly opponent and how best to prepare for it with the ability to actually select plays to practice. Finally, probably the coolest thing they’ve added is the Practice Squad. No more are the days of drafting young players with potential but cutting them because they can’t make the 53-man roster! Now, you can simply put them on the practice squad and elevate them later.
Despite the miscues from EA’s Press Conference, they do actually have some good content coming out, over the next few months. Fans of all four games should be excited for what’s to come.
Sony’s Conference
After all the gaming, we took a break and got back into Press Conference mode, as Sony was starting to begin. We traveled to the iconic Shrine Auditorium, which is a Opera House hidden within downtown La. After partaking in the dinner, Sony provided, it was time for us to take our seats. Luckily, Eric and I were able to claim seats in the second row! In front of us was a giant orchestra pit which would eventually be filled with the Detroit Symphony and led by renowned Composer Bear McCreary. They set the tone for the entire show and it didn't disappoint.
Sony blew out the competition by releasing trailer after trailer and keeping the presentations to a minimum. They started off with the new God of War but instead of it just being a trailer, we got gameplay! That set the audience off with cheers and shrieks all around.
We also got a footage from new titles like Detroit: Become Human, which is a game where you play as an Android detective and your choices dictate what happens in the game. Resident Evil 7 which looked like a whole new series and it brought the fear. Days Gone, a cross between Sons of Anarchy meets World War Z. That one looks tremendous. However, it would be the reveal of Hideo Kojima and his new studio’s next game, Death Standing, that would win the night. It stars Norman Reedus in what looks to be a brutally, enthralling game by the gaming mastermind behind the Metal Gear series.
It was an incredible event that won’t be soon forgotten. I firmly believe that Sony changed the Press Conference game by just showing new titles. They didn’t waste their time on games that we’ll never hear about again. Nor, did they do puff pieces on what they’re working on. They let the games do all the talking. Mark my words, that will be a common theme in next year’s E3 conferences.
Day 3 will include Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and all kinds of other gameplay so keep it here on Cinelinx.com for your exclusive look inside E3 2016!
Let us know if there is a game you’d like us to dive into and know more about! Eric and I are here and can make that possible!

They didn’t waste their time on games that we’ll never hear about again. Nor, did they do puff pieces on what they’re working on. They let the games do all the talking. Mark my words, that will be a common theme in next year’s E3 conferences.
Day 3 will include Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and all kinds of other gameplay so keep it here on Cinelinx.com for your exclusive look inside E3 2016!
Let us know if there is a game you’d like us to dive into and know more about! Eric and I are here and can make that possible!

From the Underworld to Doomsday?
ABC’s Once Upon a Time has cast former Smallville villain Sam Witwer in a recurring role, alongside Popular alum Hank Harris.

Per our sister site Deadline, Witwer (above) will play Jacob, the evil and overbearing warden of a mental institution, while Harris (right) will recur as Nathaniel, one of the patients he enjoys tormenting.
The character breakdowns and names match up with the two “brothers” that TVLine’s Ask Ausiello told you about earlier this month, though the official descriptions make no mention of any kinship.

Back in 2001, when the WB network debuted the Superboy series Smallville, the producers promised "no tights, no flights"… as though they thought it was bad business to put superhero stuff into a superhero show. That seems like a 100 years ago now. The WB has since evolved into the CW, and like the rest of movies and television, they've has become decidedly more cape-friendly. Between Arrow and The Flash, the network is a haven for longtime DC Comics fans — the kind who still have a hard time believing that characters like...

From comic-book adaptations to sci-fi, fantasy and horror. Here are the new geek-skewed shows coming to Us TV in 2016...
The world of TV has never been so crowded and, at the same time, geeks have never had it so good. As saturated as the big screen is with superhero films and sprawling shared universes, that mentality has well and truly bled onto the small screen too.
So there’s a lot of comic-book adaptations coming up in 2016 from Marvel, DC and others, but genre TV is represented across the board with science-fiction, fantasy and horror represented at pretty much every network and cable channel in the Us.
Here's some of the geek TV that will be making its way to us from the Us next year.

DC doesn't have the greatest track record with their cinematic endeavors, but when it comes to television, they've had some amazing hits. However, outside of animation, they didn't really branch out to many of their second tier heroes until Smallville hit the air. We were then introduced to not only the young Clark Kent, but eventually Green Arrow, Cyborg, Aquaman, Impulse and many other heroes before its ten year run ended. A year and a half later, producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg brought us Arrow, starring Steven Amell as Oliver Queen in a darker, grittier take on the hero (which has borrowed more than a little from the Batman comics), who has returned home to find that his city has been run down by corrupt politicians and a seedy criminal element. Taking on the guise of Arrow, he sets out on his own to take his city back, only...

The season finale of CWs the Flash has set up the introduction of the DC multiverse; a plot element that has been confirmed by series star Grant Gustin. We’ll see “Earth One and Earth Two in the near future.” Does this open up the possibility of the DC TV universe to connect to the film continuity?
CW’s super hero series the Flash has wrapped up its excellent freshman season, with a very busy finale that wrapped up the first year story arcs and establishes a convoluted new time stream where the architect who set the shows major events in motion—the Reverse Flash—never existed, and yet the Flash (Gustin) still does; despite the fact that it was the actions of Reverse Flash (Tom Cavanagh) that gave him his powers. (Hopefully they’ll explain how that works in season two) The show ended on an epic cliffhanger where...

The Beta for Blizzard's new card game expansion to World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, is in full swing. We here at Cinelinx got the chance to spend ample time with the beta in order to bring you our impressions on the upcoming game, and whether or not you should be excited for it. Come inside to see our early thoughts!
Hearthstone
Played On: PC
What we played: The entire 6-match tutorial, unlocked all 9 Basic Starter Decks, took one character to Level 20, Custom Deck Building, Arena Matches, Unranked and Ranked Open Play and Tested the Hearthstone Store (About 3 days total played).
An Auspicious Start
For many World of Warcraft players in late 2005, when Blizzard announced it’s first foray into a non-video game enterprise, the World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game (WoW:tcg), fans were quietly divided. Some saw it as an enterprise that ultimately would fail as the genre was already established...

Producer Andrew Kreisberg of The CW's "Arrow" TV series has confirmed that his script for a "Booster Gold" TV series, based on the DC Comics character will be delivered to Syfy the first week of June 2013.
"...the script is going to SyFy next week," tweeted Kreisberg,
DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns confirmed that the success of "Arrow" has "helped open up doors for DC and television in a very good way".
"Booster Gold" (previously appearing in The CW's live-action "Smallville" TV series) was created by Dan Jurgens, debuting in DC Comics' "Booster Gold" #1 (February 1986).
The character was initially depicted as glory-seeking 'showboat' from the future, using knowledge of historical events and futuristic technology to stage high-publicity heroics.
But 'Booster' develops over the course of his publication history and through personal tragedies, evolves into a true hero.

ABC's upfront presentation has already produced news about "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," most notably that the show is going to be great. Access Hollywood and IGN caught up with actors Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson), Ming-Na Wen (Agent May) and Elizabeth Henstridge (Agent Simmons), as well as producer Jeffrey Bell ("Angel"). The actors were all tight-lipped about the series, of course, but the video is still worth watching if only to see just how excited these actors are to enlist with S.H.I.E.L.D. Ming-Na's even busted out her boxing equipment!
The real juicy bit of information comes from producer Jeffrey Bell, who addressed the rumors that J. August Richards is playing either Luke Cage or Rage.

We’ll begin our first day of Star Trek Week with the first Star Trek series…The Original Series (Tos). The show had an unusual beginning. As with most television programs, a pilot was made in order to sell it to the network. The entire crew, with the exception of Leonard Nimoy as Spock, were different. Instead of Captain Kirk we had Captain Pike played by Jeffery Hunter. The pilot, called “The Cage”, was well received but the network didn’t feel that they could go ahead with the series. They called it “too cerebral”. In most cases, this is where it would end.
However, in a very rare move, the studio decided to order Another pilot under the condition that they recast the majority of the roles and up the action. Thus a second pilot was made, this time with William Shatner as Captain Kirk. “Where No Man Has...

Hollywoodnews.com: Police dressed in full riot gear turned out for the premiere of Insomniac’s “Electric Daisy Carnival Experience” at Grauman’s Chinese theater on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles Wednesday night when fans packed the streets in hopes of catching a glimpse of uber-popular DJ Kaskade, who tweeted prior to the premiere that he’d be performing a free set.
Such is the power of Twitter.
“The near-riot pitted Lapd officers, who were trying to clear Hollywood Blvd., against fans trying to catch a glimpse of Kaskade, despite audible warnings via megaphone from Insomniac staff and Grauman’s Chinese employees stating over and over that Kaskade’s appearance was ‘canceled’ and that fans should vacate the premises,” THR writes. “In fact, the DJ himself sent several tweets pleading with fans to ‘chill’ and leave the area after he got wind of Lapd problems with crowds.
