At the time, there were not many details of what to expect or who the developer was. Today, during the THQ Nordic Showcase a trailer was released for TMNT: The Last Ronin, confirming the game for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The Last Days of Lex Luthor challenges the value of Superman's moral code
26.07.2023 - 20:15 / gamesradar.com / Lex Luthor
There have been many fine tales told about the Man of Steel, but few would deny that All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely is up there with the very best of them. Published across 12 issues, the out-of-continuity saga attempted to boil the character down to his essentials, giving us a deep and often moving insight into what makes Kal-El/Clark Kent tick. If, somehow, you've never read the book then, for the love of Zod, go and rectify that right now.
Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor is a very different sort of book - and we should offer a spoiler warning here for the full first issue.
The three-issue DC Black Label series, written by Mark Waid and drawn by Bryan Hitch, with inks by Kevin Nowlan and colors by David Baron, is less overtly comedic than All-Star. That's befitting a book so focused on Lex. And yet, on the basis of this first issue at least, it can't help but evoke the sci-fi Silver Age spirit of Morrison and Quitely's opus while also calling back to one of Waid's own works: Superman: Birthright.
Indeed, in an interview with Newsarama earlier this year, the writer said that the new book was a "spiritual sequel" to that series.
The story begins with a bang as the island of Meghwip is attacked by a giant robot. Superman does what Superman does, flying in to the rescue and using his smarts and speed to save everyone on the island. He defeats the robot and, tearing it open, finds a strangely frail Lex Luthor inside waiting for him. Supes suspects a trap, but when Lex tells Kal-El that he is dying, he realises that his oldest foe is telling the truth.
It turns out that this whole escapade has been an attempt to draw Superman's attention so that he can ask for his help. Lex doesn't have long to live, due an experiment gone wrong, but he knows that Kal-El will do his best to save him, even if it comes at the cost of the public's trust. In an amusingly spiteful moment Luthor reveals that he has murdered the technicians that built his stolen robot and broadcasts Superman's promise of aide to the whole world, disgracing him in the process.
There's already an echo of All-Star Superman here, with both books using the final days of a key DC character to say something about how that person lived. All-Star was about the fundamental goodness of Superman and how his legacy will live on. In this case we see Lex's genius, but also his monumental ego ("I refuse to acknowledge a universe without me in it," he spits at one point) and capacity for sadism.
Having said that, while this is fundamentally Lex's story, there's still plenty of insight into Superman himself, with The Last Days probing at the arguably selfish lengths our hero will go to keep his moral code intact.

Harley Quinn season 4 is for fans of Nightwing’s bodacious booty
A key part of comedy, some believe, is saying what others are thinking. I’m not sure everyone who says that really understands why that’s a thing, but Harley Quinn, Max’s adult animated comedy about DC’s irreverent antihero, absolutely does. It is, among other things, a show dedicated to shouting what many people think about when they read Batman comic books. And what are they thinking about? Nightwing’s ass.

In The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Dracula’s Lyft gets a 1-star review
Let’s say you meet a guy named Dracula. Like, actually named Dracula. It would be weird, right? That name comes with more than 125 years of connotation, a century-plus of accumulated cultural knowledge leaving just about anyone who’s so much as grazed the Western literary canon hardwired to associate “Dracula” with “FUCKING VAMPIRE.”
