Understandably, a lot of fans have been skeptical of Man of Steel, the upcoming Superman film produced by Christopher Nolan and directed by Zack Snyder. Snyder has produced some fun films, but a lot of people felt like he missed the point of Watchmen completely, and his Sucker Punch was something of a mess. Combined with a first trailer that seemed more Malick than Man of Steel, things were looking down. But buzz has been building, and Warners just released a new trailer that has seriously wowed the Internet – with good cause.

Heading your way this summer, Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox is the next DC animated feature to head to the small screen. Flashpoint Paradox uses the “Flashpoint” event as a catalyst for this new film, where the Justice League never existed. For those not familiar with the event, Flash works towards restoring his original time line, after going back to change an event in his past. With a darker, more brutal Batman and Cyborg at his side, he also has to deal with a war between Wonder Woman’s Amazons and Aquaman’s Atlanteans.

Fables is one of the top selling books of the DC’s Vertigo Comics line, and Telltale Games is one of the best adventure game creators in the business right now. So Telltale Games making a game set in the Fables universe is a no brainer. The game is called The Wolf Among Us, and is a prequel to the Fables saga set before Bigby Wolf’s first appearance in the series proper.
