Robin is Finally Getting Some Cinematic Love Again

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-12-09 03:50:08

To the delight of DC fans online, The Batman Part II has now entered pre-production ahead of its start date in early 2026. Director Matt Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin have been secretive about what to expect from their Bat-sequel, but there’ve been rumors flying for some time now, with the most recent being that it’ll be darker—because of course it’ll be, and probably likened to Empire Strikes Back at some point—and will feature Robin, Batman’s sidekick. If true, this will make for the th

Hoto Snapbloq Tools Review: Attractive Power Tools

wired.com Henri Robbins 2025-12-07 16:00:00

Tools often have a utilitarian design. Their purpose is to get stuff done, so their shape is exclusively focused on getting stuff done. This is where the Hoto SnapBloq toolkit is unique: These tools emphasize style and design to prove that functionality doesn’t need to have a rugged, utilitarian, and (typically) unappealing style. Hoto’s SnapBloq line is a set of three small power tools meant for tinkerers and hobbyists. The full set consists of a screwdriver, a rotary tool, and a drill, along

Is This Seat Taken? makes seating fussy people fun

Creating seating arrangements can be pretty stressful; the empath part of me strives to find the perfect seat for every person even if it’s a nearly impossible task. If it’s for a big, meaningful event, I get even more anxious. When you find the right place for everyone, though, it’s even more satisfying than a great jigsaw puzzle. Chasing that feeling is what Is This Seat Taken? is all about — and it does so in a low-stakes and relaxing way. In Is This Seat Taken?, your goal is to place people

Robot Crab Meets Terrible Fate When Its True Nature Is Discovered by Real Crab

Scientists apparently underestimated the aggression of itty-bitty male fiddler crabs when they deployed a friendly robot version during mating season.

Google Maps sucks on unpaved roads, so I use this open source app instead

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-09 05:30:16

Andy Walker / Android Authority Google Maps was primarily designed for inner-city travel, where roads are well-marked and relatively smooth. I doubt the app’s developers envisioned users navigating gravel roads in the heartland of South Africa. So, it’s unsurprising that the app becomes far less useful once you hit the dirt. However, where Google Maps falls short, OsmAnd excels. OsmAnd is a free, open-source app on the Play Store and F-Droid. It draws data from various sources, primarily relyi

More unusually still, Fishman was — at least on paper — precisely the wrong man for the job. The Harvard cardiologist had spent his career studying zebrafish hearts and teaching medical students. He had no pharmaceutical experience and no business training. And yet, Daniel Vasella — the physician-tur
