Two new DC TV shows will be coming to the streaming service HBO Max, which launches in May 2020, and both of them will be headed by Greg Berlanti, most known for his work on the CW/DC superhero shows like The Flash.
Revealed at the WarnerMedia investor call, it was announced Berlanti will be working on a few original programs for the service, two of which are based on DC properties.
The first is Green Lantern, something fans of the CW Universe have been wanting to see for years. There’s no news as to who the Green Lantern will be, when the show will launch, or whether it is a part of the shared universe Berlanti has been working on for years.
Secondly, Berlanti will be working on Strange Adventures, another show based on a DC comic book, revealing that Adam Strange would be returning to the small screen.
One more for @DCComics fans. In partnership w/ @GBerlanti we’re excited to bring to series the beloved Green Lantern AND intro audiences to Strange Adventures, about “man of two worlds” Adam Strange, an archaeologist-turned-intergalactic-hero when he’s zeta-beamed to planet Rann
This is the second time we’ll get to see a live-action Adam Strange, as the character appeared on Syfy’s series Krypton. Additionally, HBO Max revealed that seasons of the DC CW shows will be available on the streaming service shortly after each season ends.
Call of Duty League, Activision’s big Call of Duty eSports push, will begin on January 24, 2020. The event will take place over the Call of Duty League Launch Weekend at the Minneapolis Armory, and will see teams competing in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It’s the first event of what promises to be a major new league for competitive Call of Duty.
The event will see 12 teams play off over three days in five-on-five matches, with a best-of-five format. The exact ruleset will be announced closer to the event. Teams from Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Florida, London, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York, Paris, Seattle, and Toronto taking part. The Call of Duty League website has further details on the teams competing, and lets you sign up for updates in the lead up to opening weekend.
The Call of Duty Challengers Open will take place over that same weekend, allowing amateur teams to compete in an open bracket tournament that will be determined by a series of online tournaments, beginning next month. There’s a prize pool of over $1 million on offer in the open.
The cost of entry is reportedly $25 million per team, which has prevented eSports organization 1000 Thieves from competing. The specifics of the prize pool have not yet been announced, but expect a major top prize.
If you’re looking to sharpen your own skills in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, we’ve compiled a list of tips for beginners. It’s also useful to know your different perks inside and out. In our review-in-progress of the game, Kallie Plagge wrote that the multiplayer in Modern Warfare “is up to par, with a variety of game types for different kinds of players.”
As Mayans MC barrels toward its Season 2 finale, the titular motorcycle club is in a precarious position. After the Sons of Anarchy brokered a deal between the Mayans and a rival club they are on bad terms with, violence broke out, leaving Coco (Richard Cabral) blinded and Riz (Antonio Jaramillo) barely holding onto life.
Warning: The following contains spoilers for the ninth episode of Mayans MC Season 2, titled “Itzam-Ye.” If you’ve yet to watch the episode and don’t want to have major plot points spoiled, stop reading now.
As dire as circumstances seemed after the altercation, they only got worse in the episode that followed, “Itzam-Ye.” To protect the deal made with the rival club, the Mayans voted against retaliation as it looked like Riz was going to survive the altercation. After the vote, though, he didn’t. Riz is dead, and the vote is null and void. Bishop (Michael Irby) says that much himself when he proclaims it’s time to go to war with the other club.
What he doesn’t know, though, is how Riz died, and it’s that secret that will likely be a significant plot point should Mayans MC continue into Season 3. Upset with the vote not to carry out vengeance against the rival club, Taza (Raoul Trujillo) cut off Riz’s oxygen supply, killing him.

Anyone who’s seen Sons of Anarchy knows that violence like this between fellow club members does not stand. Should Taza’s misdeed come to light–and it obviously will at some point–it’s not going to be pretty. That’s something to think about in the future, though.
For now, war is coming in the Season 2 finale and the Mayans MC is going to be charging into enemy territory looking for blood. It’ll be interesting to see what role, if any, the Sons of Anarchy play in the dispute. After all, they are the ones that first brokered the deal between the two clubs, and it’s their relationship with Irish gunrunners that stands to be destroyed should this deal fall apart, which it’s clearly going to.
Now, it’s just a matter of who else has to die before this dispute is settled. Thankfully, you won’t have to wait long to find out. The Season 2 finale of Mayans MC airs next Tuesday on FX.
Following the public preview of Project xCloud, Microsoft and Team Xbox are launching the Xbox Console Streaming (Preview) beginning today, and it will allow participants to stream their Xbox One games from their console to a mobile device.
Microsoft’s Principal Program Manager Jonathan Hildebrandt took to Xbox Wire to discuss this new preview program that is now available for Xbox Insiders in the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead rings in the US and UK.
The program currently supports Android phones or tablets running Android 6.0 or higher with Bluetooth 4.0, and a Bluetooth-enabled Xbox One Wireless Controller is required to play.
But there’s plenty more to dig into, so here’s our trailer breakdown.
The show is set five years after the fall of the Empire, which should mean things are better? But Werner Herzog’s mystery character asks, “Is the world more peaceful since the revolution?” And if these Stormtrooper helmets are anything to go by… nope!
On a less dour note, here we get a wide shot of the Mandalorian riding on the back of a Blurrg, which are like two-legged Dewbacks. That handsome young Ugnaught accompanying him is called Kuiil, Mando’s buddy. We got a good glimpse of him riding a Blurrg in the first Mandalorian trailer. Ugnaughts can be found all over the galaxy, but if we rewind to Empire Strikes Back, they ran the carbonite operation on Bespin when Han Solo was encased in carbonite. We think Kuiil the Ugnaut could be helping The Mandalorian with all of his carbonite needs. More on that in a second…
Riot Games made quite a splash during its ten year anniversary celebration, announcing – among many other things – Legends of Runeterra, a CCG based on the League of Legends universe. As anyone who was able to go hands-on during its initial five day “Preview Patch” would likely attest, the game is impressive: clever gameplay mechanics, iconic champions, slick presentation, and some of the best art you’re going to find in the world of video games.
Now that Legends of Runeterra is offline again and the community is looking forward to the next Preview Patch in mid-November, it’s a good time to take a look at where the game has come from – it’s been in development for several years, after all – not to mention how it got to where it is now, and what’s coming up. To do that, I’ve pulled together an extensive set of quotes from the interviews I did with the development team ahead of the announcement.
Warning: this review contains full spoilers for Arrow: Season 8, Episode 3! If you need a refresher on where we left off, here’s our review for Season 8, Episode 2.
This week’s installment of Arrow further bears out an uncomfortable truth. The episodes in this final season are only going to be as good as the parts of Arrow’s checkered past they homage. And with Episode 3 remaining locked in Season 3 territory, this was always going to be a very uphill battle for Ollie and Thea.
The fundamental flaw with “Leap of Faith” is that it never really feels all that necessary to the bigger picture that is Crisis. Sure, it ties up plenty of random loose ends and serves as the swan song for characters like Willa Holland’s Thea and Lexa Doig’s Talia, but for the most part, it all feels more like obligatory housekeeping than dramatically rich material. Thea already got a perfectly decent sendoff last season. Sure, the show purposely left the Thanatos Guild subplot hanging to be picked up down the road, but it’s not a thread that was exactly crying out to be addressed. Certainly not like, say, the unresolved fates of Slade Wilson or Brock Turner.
Just when you thought you were starting to grasp how the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover might play out, Arrow is here to take a quick turn, unraveling almost any theory you could possibly have. As the CW series continues its final season, the episodes are designed mainly to continue setting the stage for the massive Crisis event that kicks off in December.
However, after the latest episode–titled “Leap of Faith”–everything had changed. Warning: The following contains spoilers for Arrow Season 8, Episode 4, “Leap of Faith.” If you don’t want to know what happened, stop reading now.
In the final moments of the episode, Mia (Katherine McNamara), William (Ben Lewis), and Connor (Joseph David-Jones) were transported from their future to present day, right in the middle of the Arrow cave. It’s there that they lay their eyes on Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and the rest of the team. “Dad?” Mia asks through tears, realizing she’s meeting her father for the first time.
This is just the latest twist in the Monitor’s (LaMonica Garrett) plans for Oliver and the multiverse as a whole, with Crisis on Infinite Earths getting closer. After sending Oliver on several missions, he’s now brought the Green Arrow his own children to help in the upcoming fight.
We already knew the crossover would be loaded with familiar faces, including multiple Superman, along with the stars of The CW’s other superhero shows–from Legends of Tomorrow to Black Lightning. Adding the future Team Arrow to the mix, though, is a wrinkle Oliver is likely going to have some trouble with. After all, how focused will he be on the task at hand if he’s also watching over his son and daughter on the battlefield?
Of course, it also makes you wonder what will happen after Crisis on Infinite Earths. We already know a spin-off of Arrow is being developed with Mia at the center, joined by Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy Rodgers). Is it possible that series could be set in present-day, which would mean Mia is sticking around long-term? That’s a question that will hopefully be answered before the Arrow series finale.
