Mr. Freeze Coming in Arkham Origins DLC
The first full-on story DLC for Batman: Arkham Origins was announced via Twitter today, and it looks to be all about Mr. Freeze. Possibly even the origin of Mr. Freeze. That sounds neat.
I doubt Freeze is getting the Humanitarian award
No word on the release date, other than 2014. Also no word on what’s going to happen. But any further story gameplay for Arkham Origins will be a ton of fun.
Maybe they’ll even find a way to incorporate Robin…but probably not.
Guardians of the Galaxy Comes Out of Hiding
On the last day of 2013, Marvel posted the first official picture for Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as the first official plot synopsis. No word yet on the first trailer. Take a look.

I’m…conflicted. I don’t really like the sound of that synopsis, and not just in the ways it flouts comic book continuity. That doesn’t matter to me all that much anymore. What bugs me is that this film sounds like an origin story, of how Quill and the Guardians get together. I wasn’t expecting that…and I don’t think I like it. I was hoping Guardians would be like Serenity, where the crew is already together and are quickly introduced. Most people didn’t watch the TV show, but a ton of people went to see the movie. And Serenity easily introduced the entire cast with ease and aplomb. Why couldn’t Guardians do that too?
But I’m nit-picking, and I don’t want to do that. I’m just being honest. I have total faith in Marvel and the people behind Guardians. It’s going to be great! (I hope…)
6 Pop Culture Resolutions for 2014
I may as well say that my New Year’s resolutions for 2014 are to lose weight and save money, but I’ve kind of been making those same resolutions for the past 30 years, and they haven’t come true yet! So how about we veer wildly off course and talk about something much more fun: pop culture!
No, I’m not resolving to play fewer video games or watch less TV. Don’t be crazy.
Though I’m totally gonna lose weight and save money. Totally.
Instead, I’ve whipped up a list of 6 pop culture things I want to see in 2014. We already know what movies, TV shows and more are coming out, and I resolve to drown myself in all of them. But we don’t know how good or bad they’re going to be, or what surprises might be in store. So let’s get our hopeful wishing hats on, and predict the 6 pop culture resolutions we want to see in 2014!
And yes, I realize these are more like ‘wishes’ than ‘resolutions’, but New Year is all about the resolutions. Cut me some slack, I had a cold this week. Join me after the jump!

A Marvel Wedding? I Mostly Just Want the Full Picture as a Poster
As Marvel Comics is wont to do these days, they sent out a quickie teaser image to Newarama promising an upcoming storyline, this one being a wedding in April. Who’s getting married? Who knows! But what’s clear is that somebody has drawn an amazing Where’s Waldo-esque picture of Marvel superheroes, and they’ve broken it into puzzle pieces for this teaser.
Beta Ray Bill and Stingray! Amazing!
I have no clue which Marvel characters might be getting married, but man oh man, I want that poster!
