Netflix reminded everyone that it was making a Magic: The Gathering animated series during its avalanche of Geeked Week Live 2024 announcements, showing off just a single image to give proof of life. Yes queen, give us nothing. It's pure speculation – we've only got that title card to work with – but the bulky figure on the right has to be Planeswalker warrior Ajani Goldmane, while the glow in the hand of the smaller character could signify that it's pyromancer Chandra Nalaar. It’s happening! Netflix’s MAGIC: THE GATHERING animated series is now in production from showrunner Terry Matalas in partnership with Hasbro Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast. #GeekedWeek pic.twitter.com/6502FcslqO— Netflix Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) September 20, 2024 Originally announced as a…

While it’s not yet known which villains will appear in The Batman 2 – save for the return of Colin Farrell’s Penguin, but more on that in a bit – the makeup designer who brought both Penguin and Barry Keoghan’s Joker to the big screen in The Batman shared his thoughts with IGN about how realistic versions of “weird” characters like Clayface or Two-Face could be brought to life within Matt Reeves’ Batman Epic Crime Saga.While there have been several incarnations of Clayface (who IGN ranked 73rd on its list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains), the character’s clay-like, grotesque physical appearance and ability to shapeshift have largely remained consistent since the first Clayface, Basil Karlo, appeared in 1940.
