It’s one of the oldest debates in the character’s 85-year history: should Batman kill people in his quest to safeguard Gotham City? Although time and time again Batman’s darkness has pushed and pulled the character to pretty rough precipices, at least one defining creator continues to be steadfastly be on the side of Bat-murder: Zack Snyder.Are Fans Tired of Marvel and DC? Superhero Fatigue at NYCC 2023“Batman can’t kill is canon. And I’m like, ‘Okay, the first thing I wanna do when you say that is I wanna see what…

In more ways than you realize, sports and movies are the exact same thing. On the simplest level, each consists of a group of highly trained, sometimes well-paid, professionals doing various specific jobs all with a singular purpose: telling a story, usually for profit. The main difference is that in movies (and TV) the story is generally planned out while in sports, it’s not. In both cases though, each exists to let people experience collective emotions. Mr. Tweet Fumbles Super Bowl TweetFor that reason, I’ll never…

"ChatGPT and GPT-4 consistently outperformed the majority of students who answered each individual item in the NAEP science assessments," write Xiaoming Zhai of the University of Georgia, and colleagues at the University's AI4STEM Education Center, and at the University of Alabama's College of Education, in a paper published this week on the arXiv pre-print server, "Can Generative Ai And Chatgpt Outperform Humans On Cognitive-Demanding Problem-Solving Tasks In Science?"Also: AI in 2023: A year of breakthroughs that…

Cr. NETFLIX ​© 2020 Netflix’s recent changes to how it measures viewership data is already proving to be a bone of contention among creatives, but it has at least done the unthinkable and dredged a largely irrelevant superhero movie back from the depths, with Robert Rodriguez’s We Can Be Heroes now officially designated as one of the platform’s 10 most successful in-house features of all-time.

The original may have been a thinly-veiled clone of Scream – which is to be expected given that both of them were written by Kevin Williamson – but the blood-soaked nightmare packed…

via Warner Bros. The dust has settled on Shazam! Fury of the Gods now that the most recent chapter in the DCU has limped out of theaters and made its way onto digital and VOD, and the results aren’t pretty. Zachary Levi’s sophomore outing as the titular superhero couldn’t even reach $140 million at the global box office, and has gone down in the history books as one of the biggest bombs in the genre’s history. That would have sounded unfathomable had you told someone the sequel would flop so hard shortly after…

After Sean Connery’s iconic tenure had drawn to a close, Eon Productions faced the impossible task of selecting a replacement for the actor who’d defined 007 forevermore. Taking an unexpected route, it was decided that a model with no previous experience in the movie…
