will follow Amanda Waller's Task Force X, a team comprised of some of the DC Universe's rogues as they battle DC's primary superhero team, the Justice League. The title takes place in the same universe as Rocksteady Games' titles, and instead of the team being inmates at the Belle Reve super prison, Waller recruits them from Arkham Asylum.
The Batman Below spreads its influence throughout Gotham in an exclusive first look at City of Madness #2

The first issue of Batman: City of Madness plunged the Dark Knight into a surreal and sinister new adventure.
A sink hole has opened up in Gotham and a monstrous new threat, the Batman Below, has emerged and is now stalking the streets. Meanwhile, a young man named Jevoney is seeking justice following the killing of his father, while the Court of Owls are plotting and scheming.
The new Black Label book from writer/artist Christian Ward is terrific. It embraces the more dream-like aspects of Batman's adventures and feels, in some ways, like a spiritual sequel to Grant Morrison and Dave McKean's classic Arkham Asylum (which it directly references in the first issue). It's a gorgeous-looking and often deliriously strange book - and we've got an exclusive preview of the second issue right here.
In the gallery of pages below Bruce Wayne tackles a pack of mobsters, while the Batman Below starts to makes its influence felt on young Jevoney.
DC's official synopsis for the issue reads:
"The Court of Owls summons Batman, demanding he venture deep beneath the city to fight what has been unleashed from its depths: a wave of madness infecting Gotham's villains, driven by the monstrous creature they're calling "the Batman Below." But the Court has not-entirely-noble reasons for wanting this chaos stopped…Is Batman their weapon, or their bait?"
DC has also released a trio of covers for the new issue. You can check those out in the gallery above. They are by (from left to right) Christian Ward, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Tula Lotay.
Batman: City of Madness #2 is published by DC on December 12.

God of War: Ragnarok dev releases the follow-up to its fan-favorite blooper reel with some truly nightmare-inducing bugs
Blooper reels are a staple within film and television, but it's uncommon for game developers to share them outside the walls of their studios. However, God of War studio Sony Santa Monica hasn't been shy about revealing various pre-release quirks in their games, and they've released a follow-up to their fan-favorite Midgard Mishaps video from 2018 to celebrate the one-year anniversary of God of War: Ragnarok. In Midgard Mishaps 2, we see a showcase of the bizarre and somewhat creepy-looking bugs that popped up during the production of the massive sequel. We also see a quick look at some never-before-seen footage of the making of some standout moments and how the devs took the stumbles in good fun.

It all began with Jacob Marley. We all remember that Jacob Marley was put in chains for being materialistic and greedy. Well, what if other ghosts existed that were also punished in the same way? What if there were many ghosts in London and all had their own punishments? Well, Orbit Studio used this idea and created something extraordinary.
