Teen Titans Go! claps back at Deadpool 2's DCEU joke
If you thought the success of Deadpool would erase the superstinkers that star Ryan Reynolds had previously made, you’re incorrect. While the preview for Deadpool 2 cracked a good joke at the DCEU’s expense, some of the supers in that world that share a certain predilection for pop culture are more than happy to remind Reynolds of his past superefforts.

15 characters we'd want to get stoned with
Dope. Hash. Grass. Mary Jane. Weed. No matter what you call it, April 20 has become the date on which we celebrate all things having to do with cannabis and the various ways people ingest, consume, absorb or otherwise partake.
Today, on this holiest of holidays, we're participating Team FANGRRLS-style the only way we know how: by confessing which fictional characters (and maybe one or two actual, real-life people) we'd want to get high with. Grab a chair (and a joint, if you use) and take this wild mind ride with us.

Westworld creators explain why the park can't just pull the plug on all those rogue hosts
We're just days away from the long-awaited return of Westworld, and a whole new season of mysteries, suspense, and even a new wing of the park. True to the nature of the show, creators and showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are still keeping most details about Season 2's plot under wraps, but that doesn't mean they're completely unwilling to answer some basic questions about how things will work going forward.
Spoilers for Westworld Season 1 ahead.
Exclusive: Jim Zub brings the Dungeons and Dragons comic back to Baldur's Gate
Next week, IDW is bringing its D&D heroes back with the first issue of Dungeons & Dragons: Evil at Baldur’s Gate.

Chaos by Design: A defense of competitive Mario Kart
As one of the largest portraits on the millennial wall of nostalgia, Mario Kart is not the first thing that comes to mind when you say “competitive game.” This is partly valid: Our beloved party game has an element of chaos that would make a seasoned Counter-Strike: GO or Rocket League player rip their hair out. Your best race ever can turn into a tragedy after one blue shell.
This mutant Krusty the Clown and Twisty the Clown mashup will give you coulrophobia
Have you ever been stalked by a TV clown in your nightmares? You will be now.
Capaldi loved Peter Cushing's Doctor so much he copied his signature as his own
Peter Capaldi was such a massive Doctor Who fan before he was handed the keys to the TARDIS in 2013 that he used to write to the BBC on a regular basis to ask for autographs of former Time Lords. There’s one former Doctor in particular Capaldi was a big fan of — so much so that he even based his own signature on this Time Lord’s autograph.
Westworld's Luke Hemsworth teases season 2 mysteries: Stubbs is 'a bit of a sleeper'
Where the hell is Stubbs?

The bizarre comic book love story of Thanos and Death
Some stories can really only happen in comics. While many of us know and love the X-Men, a big part of their appeal is their sprawling, often utterly nonsensical continuity. While we all know Superman, only through the comics could we have witnessed a love story between him and Lois Lane change and grow over 80 years to become an iconic, culture-shifting story. And only in comics would we be introduced to a character like Thanos, a planet-hopping interdimensional tyrant who commits genocidal crimes with the sole purpose of pleasing and winning the affections of the literal Grim Reaper.
Nobody that was in Infinity War, including Robert Downey Jr., knows anything about Infinity War
It’s become a running joke that the Marvel movie train has highly segmented cars where each member of the film works in isolation from the others so that nobody slips up and gives any morsel to the hungry fans that could be snapped up and spread throughout the internet. So it’s no surprise that when two more members of the superteam weighed in on the upcoming Infinity War, they were mum on the details. But what’s more revealing was how their silence was put across.
Dean Cain wants to bring back Lois & Clark — and he has some ideas for it too
We've grown up with Superman. We've followed his adventures in the comics and on screens small and large for a long, long time — 80 years, in fact. But no one has devoted as much thought to the Man of Steel (and to Superboy, too) as the many actors who've played him over the years, those who've donned the cape, tapped away at that Daily Planet typewriter, or found just the right tone for both Clark's and Kal-El's voice.
