No matter how dire the circumstances, Batman is known for his unwavering “no-kill” code, which forbids him from taking a life in DC Comics. However, in Injustice God Among Us: Year Three, Bruce Wayne breaks his own rule to protect one of his dearest friends, Superman.
As everyone knows, the Joker from DC is one of the vilest, vicious, and most depraved supervillains. Nevertheless, Superman is restricted by the same code that keeps Batman from killing the Clown Prince of Crime. For similar reasons, both DC superheroes have strong moral codes prohibiting them from killing their enemies. Yet, in recent years, DC comic writers have endeavored to differentiate between the two.

It’s official. Galactus is coming to the MCU.
After months of speculation, Marvel officially announced that they’ve found their Galactus. Ralph Ineson, a Game of Thrones veteran known for standout supporting roles in The Witch and The Green Knight, will portray the Devourer of Worlds. Ineson’s casting comes on the heels of other compelling announcements for its upcoming film The Fantastic Four, including Paul Walter Hauser and John Malkovich. Marvel hasn’t yet disclosed which characters those two are playing, but the smart money has Hauser down for the Mole Man. Malkovich could fit a number of characters, including minor baddies Puppet Master or Diablo, including just a grouchy official. Heck, maybe he’ll finally get to play a version of the Vulture, as he was slated to do in Sam Raimi’s abandoned Spider-Man 4!
While any of those baddies would be fun, the Galactus casting deserves the most attention.

1954's "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" was the last gasp of Universal Pictures' black-and-white horror heyday. Pivoting away from literary adaptations towards something more resembling contemporary man-in-suit monster movies, "Black Lagoon" introduced one last staple of the Universal Monster line-up: The Gill-man. A missing link in the evolutionary chain, the amphibian man has the same mix of terror and lovelorn pathos as his monstrous brethren.
It's not quite the pop-culture staple that "Dracula" and "Frankenstein" are, but "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" has been reimagined many times (most famously in 2017 with Guillermo del Toro's Best Picture-winning oddball romance "The Shape of Water" — it was almost black-and-white like "Black Lagoon" too). Now a new comic book starring the Gill-Man comes forth from Skybound Entertainment, boasting a title that belongs to a forgotten Universal Horror picture: "The Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives!"
Skybound isn't just revitalizing "The Transformers" and "G.I. Joe.

The comic book universe is vast and diverse, with several characters who have caught the attention of audiences for a variety of reasons. Among these many iconic figures stand the two DC characters, Superman and Batman. One is a selfless and noble hero, the other is a vigilante yet both have left an indelible mark on popular culture.
Batman
While both characters have enjoyed an alluring appeal and draw ever since they first came into existence, Batman has undoubtedly been the most popular of the two. And Christopher Nolan, the filmmaker behind one of the best Batman trilogy so far, offered his perspective on why the Dark Knight’s mythos is so timeless.

James Gunn’s authority as the co-ceo of DC Studios has been under questioning by many fans ever since it was announced. Some do not think that he is suited for the role, while others do not like the direction he is taking the franchise. However, bit by bit, he has been proving himself to be capable of the role.

After the immense success of The Suicide Squad as well as his work with the MCU, the director assumed the role alongside Peter Safran. Since then, he has been enforcing his power one step at a time, with the biggest jump being through Superman: Legacy, which is becoming one of the most anticipated films from the franchise.

With enough prep time, Bruce Wayne a.k.a Batman is able to withstand any enemy and has the capacity to defeat them. Despite having no superpowers, the caped crusader can stand on his own due to his scientific knowledge and athleticism. He is also considered to be one of the greatest detectives and is a polymath.
Batman has also been trained in multiple martial arts, including ones devised by alien planets. The superhero has also been trained in a deadly art of Klurkor, that originated in Superman’s Krypton. The martial art is reportedly similar to Karate.

A posthumous duet between Hope Sandoval and Glen Campbell that reimagines his song “The Long Walk Home” has been released as the latest preview of the upcoming album Glen Campbell Duets – Ghost on the Canvas Sessions. Stream it below.
On the new version of “The Long Walk Home,” the Mazzy Star singer’s airy vocals pair seamlessly with Campbell’s, bringing extra melancholy to the song — which was written about the late country singer’s battle with Alzheimer’s. “I know I’ll never be the same again/ I hope I’ll still remember you,” they sing together. “Above it all I know our love will transcend/ On my long walk home.”
In a press statement, producer and co-writer Julian Raymond revealed how Sandoval inspired Campbell’s music: “Glen and I listened to a couple of different Mazzy Star songs while we were preparing to record the Meet Glen Campbell...

From possessed children to homicidal animatronic mascots, horror has a long history of taking seemingly innocent concepts and turning them into bona fide nightmare fuel. And when looking for wholesome imagery to corrupt, what better place to start than the adorable bond between a boy and his dog?
This is likely what Will Carsola and Dave Stewart had in mind when they began the brainstorming session that led to one of Adult Swim’s most disturbing cartoons, Mr. Pickles. An unabashedly nasty show that wasn’t afraid to blend low-brow comedy with deeply unsettling violence, this surprisingly popular experiment stood out even among its hyper-violent contemporaries. And with the show celebrating its 10th anniversary, I think that this is the perfect time to look back on this touching story about a small town under siege by an incredibly satanic dog.

Ben Grimm is mad. The ace pilot would do almost anything for his college pal Dr. Reed Richards, the super-genius who has designed an experimental rocket. But Ben worries about cosmic rays surrounding the planet and threatens to drop out of the project.
“Ben, we’ve got to take that chance,” interjects friend Sue Storm. “Unless we want the Commies to beat us to it.”
With that Ben takes up the mission. Because if there’s one thing that Benjamin J. Grimm hates, its Commies. Well, at least that’s what Ben hated in the 1960s. And so he joins Reed, Sue, and Sue’s brother Johnny on a trip into space, a trip that will expose them to cosmic rays, transforming Ben into the Thing, Reed into Mr. Fantastic, Sue into Invisible Girl, and Johnny into the Human Torch. Together, they will form the Fantastic Four.

A late-period landmark for Campbell, who died in 2017 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease, Ghost on the Canvas found the venerable pop-country singer and guitarist covering songs by a new generation of writers — alt-rock types like Paul Westerberg, Guided By Voices’ Robert Pollard, Jakob Dylan, and Teddy Thompson.

Like the Dracula series, the Creature from the Black Lagoon series will consist of four issues, but while the Dracula comic was an adaptation of the classic Universal film, this Creature from the Black Lagoon series tells “a brand-new story featuring beloved Gill-Man.”

However, you don't have to wait until next week, as we have preview pages and details from Duncan Fegredo on the creative process in our Q&a:
You and Mike Mignola have worked together on some of Hellboy's best stories. How did your collaboration on Giant Robot Hellboy come about?
Duncan Fegredo: Giant Robot Hellboy was one of those ideas Mike has had prowling around his mind since he drew that fateful sketch during the pandemic.

Faye Fantarrow, the British singer-songwriter mentored and produced by Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart, died at her home Saturday a year after being diagnosed with the aggressive and rare brain tumor known as glioma. She was 21.
Fantarrow’s death was announced by her mother Pam Fantarrow and on the singer’s official social media pages last night. The young woman had twice beaten childhood leukemia at ages 8 and 13.
“Faye was a joy to be around, full of fun, laughter and sharp as a razor — a true artist in every sense,” Stewart said in a statement. “Being with her and watching her at work is a diamond stuck in my head, moments I will never forget. I’m lucky to have met Faye and her Mum Pam, two humans together battling against all odds for Faye’s survival. It has been both traumatic and beautiful to witness their strength and dignity, and...

We know what you’re thinking. You like Hellboy but think there’s something missing. Like, maybe a little…mecha.
Well, for those thinking exactly that, Hellboy creator Mike Mignola has heard your cries of woe and answered them.
Mignola has reunited with artist Duncan Fegredo for Giant Robot Hellboy, a three-issue mini-series that promises to be exactly what the title lays out, a Hellboy that is one giant mecha.
Mignola wrote the series while Fegredo, with whom the creator worked on Hellboy: Darkness Calls, Hellboy: The Wild Hunt, and Hellboy: The Storm and The Fury, is handling the art. The comic will mark Fegredo’s first interior work since 2019 as the artist has focused mostly on covers since then. Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart and longtime Hellboy Universe letterer Clem Robins are also on the book.

Ghost recently released a covers EP called Phantomime, but they evidently have more covers in them. The Swedish metal band has unleashed a cover of Shakespears Sister’s 1992 single “Stay” featuring actor Patrick Wilson.
“Stay” opens with soft synths providing the basis behind echoing vocals. About halfway through the track, things pick up, as heavy guitar riffs crash in and the vocals take on a more powerful character.
So, how did “Stay” come together? As it turns out, actor, director, and Tony-nominated singer Wilson is a major Ghost fan. He saw the band live twice in 2022 and met up with frontman Tobias Forge while working on his directorial debut, Insidious: The Red Door.
Later, inspired by Ghost’s version of “Spillways” featuring Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Wilson reached out to Forge, who had been working on a version of Shakespears Sister’s “Stay.” The two then decided to collaborate on the cover,...

Tl;Dr:
Nazareth’s “Love Hurts” was a cover of a song in a different genre. A member of Nazareth said his band’s “Love Hurts” was the first rock ballad. That claim makes no sense.
One of the most famous classic rock songs of the 1970s is Nazareth’s “Love Hurts.” The track was originally by a 1950s/1960s band. Subsequently, Nazareth went out of their way to change the original song.
Nazareth’s ‘Love Hurts’ was originally a song by The Everly Brothers
The Everly Brothers had a handful of hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including “Cathy’s Clown,” “Wake Up Little Susie,” “Bye Bye Love,” and “That’s Old Fashioned (That’s the Way Love Should Be).”
They also released the first version of the song “Love Hurts.” It wasn’t a single, but merely an album track from the 1960 record A Date with the Everly Brothers.

On Stevie Nicks’ debut solo album, Bella Donna, she turned a Tom Petty song into a hit duet. Nicks’ version of the song sounded little like Petty’s, and he felt a bit betrayed when he heard it. Several years later, though, he had a chance to get back at her. When Nicks struggled to record a song, Petty stepped in and took it. She was disappointed, but she understood.

Nicks initially wanted the song “Insider” for her album, but Petty realized he liked it too much to give it up. Instead, he gave her “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” When he heard her version, though, he felt a bit betrayed.

Vida Blue, a hard-throwing left-hander who became one of baseball’s biggest draws in the early 1970s and helped lead the brash Oakland Athletics to three straight World Series titles, has died. He was 73.
The A’s said Blue died Saturday but didn’t give a cause of death.
“I remember watching a 19-year-old phenom dominate baseball, and at the same time alter my life,” Dave Stewart,” a four-time 20-game winner for the A’s a generation later, wrote on Twitter. “There are no words for what you have meant to me and so many others.”
Blue was voted the 1971 American League Cy Young Award and Most Valuable Player after going 24-8 with a 1.82 Era and 301 strikeouts with 24 complete games, eight of them shutouts. He was 22 at when he won Mvp, the youngest to win the award. He remains among just 11 pitchers to win Mvp and Cy Young in the same year.

Any competition must have rules, and American Idol is no exception. From the time contestants audition all the way to the season finale, they must agree to and adhere to a set of rules in order to keep things fair and avoid controversy (although American Idol has had its share of controversies over the years). A handful of contestants have been disqualified in the past for breaking these rules. Here are some examples.
Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Iam Tongi on ‘American Idol’ | Eric McCandless/ABC ‘American Idol’ contestants must be within the age limits
The minimum and maximum age requirements on American Idol have changed over the years. Idol used to be open to anyone between the ages of 16 and 24. Then, the age range opened up, so anyone between 15 and 28 years old could audition.
This is a strict rule on American Idol, so anyone caught lying about their age will be disqualified,...

The April 3 episode of American Idol ended on a dramatic note as Kaya Stewart, the daughter of famous musician Dave Stewart, quit the competition moments before her performance. Her exit left her duet partner, second-chance singer Fire Wilmore, to sing with another contestant who volunteered to take Kaya’s spot. Here’s why Kaya Stewart left American Idol and what she’s been up to since then.

“American Idol” may be a platform for aspiring unknown singers to showcase their talent outside of their bedrooms, but some contestants may have an advantage over others: being born into famous families.
Season 21 has already shown several so-called “Nepo Babies” — contestants with ties to the entertainment business — competing for the crown, including Kaya Stewart, daughter of Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics (pictured).
“With all your different opportunities and connections and stuff, how did you even land on ‘American Idol?’” Judge Katy Perry asked before her audition.
It’s a fair question, but “nepo babies” competing on “American Idol” is nothing new. In the past, the offspring of parents with varying backgrounds from music, acting, sports, and politics have all found their way in front of the judges.

A new, hot literary collab just dropped: Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Lemony Snicket from “A Series of Unfortunate Events” fame are partnering up for an illustrated and annotated edition of Carlo Collodi’s classic novel “Pinocchio.” Variety has the first look of the little wooden boy, reimagined by Mignola.
