Batman Beyond and Static Are Teaming Up Again for a New Comic

Terry McGinnis and Virgil Hawkins have a long history together, ever since the classic Batman Beyond/Static Shock crossover episode “Future Shock,” all the way up to their team-up in the Milestone Comics 30th anniversary one-shot a few years ago. Now, the dynamic duo are back with an all-new comic series, with the help of a familiar face to longtime io9 readers. Today DC Comics officially lifted the lid on Batman/Static Beyond, a new six-issue miniseries coming to its Elseworlds comics imprint.

Robin is Finally Getting Some Cinematic Love Again

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

Zach Cregger’s Dream DC Movie Would Take After a Great ‘Batman’ Episode

Zach Cregger’s got Weapons out this weekend, but the man apparently never stops working. Not only is he working on a new Resident Evil movie, but he’s also cooked up an idea for DC Studios that we now know a little bit more about. According to the Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter, Cregger’s DC movie is currently known as Henchman. The pitch? The trade’s sources say a low-level goon in Gotham City manages to take down Batman thanks to “a stroke of luck,” after which he becomes the tal

‘The Batman Part II’ Finally Starts Filming Next Spring

In the wake of Superman taking over the summer, Warner Bros. is maintaining its momentum at DC Studios, announcing that Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated The Batman Part II will begin filming next spring, aiming for an October 2027 release window. According to Variety, today’s update comes following a Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders meeting (ahead of the company’s split once more into two companies, Warner Bros. and, well, Discovery, next year), where executives lauded the financial success o

‘Batman’ and ‘Casper’ Are Coming Back to Theaters

This fall, the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy is coming back to theaters, and they won’t be alone. In the weeks and months ahead, fellow re-releases will include Tim Burton’s Batman duology and 1995’s Casper. In the former’s case, both 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns will be a special, one-night event on August 25. Over 160 Dolby Cinema at AMC Theaters locations will play the two movies, and it looks like AMC’s putting enough enough distance between them for you to watch them in one go. A

Hackers use hidden Raspberry Pi and custom malware to attack bank ATMs

Editor's take: This is a striking example of how the combination of physical compromise, network manipulation, and technical subterfuge is reshaping the threat landscape for banks and other critical infrastructure providers. The incident also highlights the importance of comprehensive security protocols that address both digital and physical attack vectors. A recently uncovered attempted bank heist illustrates the growing sophistication and audacity of cybercriminal operations targeting financi

In search of riches, hackers plant 4G-enabled Raspberry Pi in bank network

Hackers planted a Raspberry Pi equipped with a 4G modem in the network of an unnamed bank in an attempt to siphon money out of the financial institution's ATM system, researchers reported Wednesday. The researchers with security firm Group-IB said the “unprecedented tactic allowed the attackers to bypass perimeter defenses entirely.” The hackers combined the physical intrusion with remote access malware that used another novel technique to conceal itself, even from sophisticated forensic tools.

DC Brought Green Arrow and a Fighting Tournament to Comic-Con

DC didn’t come to San Diego Comic-Con with any major movies on hand, but it did bring a TV show and some comics for the tri. On the comics side, the publisher shed more light on some recently revealed books, including DC KO starting in October. Written by Scott Snyder and drawn by Javier Fernandez, the limited series sees 32 fighters enter a tournament that’ll see the winner be strong enough to fight Darkseid in his new King Omega form. The fighters range from A-listers like Superman (using min

San Diego Comic-Con’s ‘Aztec Batman’ Trailer Explores Mythos, Culture, and Justice In a New Light

During San Diego Comic-Con, HBO Max finally showcased its upcoming DC Studios animated Batman movie, Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires. The film, also known as Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios, offers a new take on the Caped Crusader’s storied mythos. According to HBO Max Latin America‘s press release, its story will center on “a young Aztec boy named Yohualli Coatl, whose father, village leader Toltecatzin, is murdered by Spanish Conquistadors. Coatl flees to Tenochtitlan to warn King Moctezuma

An Inventor Is Injecting Bleach Into Cancerous Tumors—and Wants to Bring the Treatment to the US

Xuewu Liu, a Chinese inventor who has no medical training or credentials of any kind, is charging cancer patients $20,000 for access to an AI-driven but entirely unproven treatment that includes injecting a highly concentrated dose of chlorine dioxide, a toxic bleach solution, directly into cancerous tumors. One patient tells WIRED her tumor has grown faster since the procedure and that she suspects it may have caused her cancer to spread—a claim Liu disputes—while experts allege his marketing

The Ultimate Dolby Atmos Experience Might Be In Your Car

It’s fair to say that no five people crammed into a compact SUV have been more blissfully enthralled on a country drive than my wife’s family and I on one particular mid-summer Sunday. It wasn’t just the silky smooth performance of the Cadillac Optiq, or even its incredible 19-speaker AKG sound system, but an x-factor pushing our driving experience beyond the sum of their parts: Dolby Atmos Music. If you haven't heard it in a vehicle like this, you might think I'm joking. Everyone has probably

Multiplatform Matrix Multiplication Kernels

Few algorithmic problems are as central to modern computing as matrix multiplication. It is fundamental to AI, forming the basis of fully connected layers used throughout neural networks. In transformer architectures, most of the computation is spent performing matrix multiplication. And since compute largely determines capability, faster matrix multiplication algorithms directly translate into more powerful models [1 ]. NVIDIA probably deserves much of the credit for making matrix multiplicatio

This ‘Molecular Shield’ Might Stop Pollen Before It Wrecks Your Nose

Every year, pollen seasons grow longer and more intense—to the great misery of those suffering from pollen allergies—myself included. There’s only so much one can do with antihistamines or hot towels, and no amount of protective measures—masks, firmly shut windows, you name it—appears to offer any protection from the endless sneezing, runny noses, and itchy eyes. But what if, by spraying something akin to a nasal spray, you could thwart the onslaught of those pesky allergens before they latch o

The most otherworldly, mysterious forms of lightning on Earth

Our atmosphere is like one big electrical circuit: Thunderstorms are the batteries that charge it up, and lightning is the current flowing through it. On the ground we see evidence of this circuit when lightning cracks and strikes the ground, or when it lights up deep inside a thundercloud, but high above the clouds lies a secret electrical zoo full of sprites, elves, and jets. These fantastical terms refer to light displays called transient luminous events or TLEs that occur in Earth’s upper a

Some of the Best Batman Movies Ever Made Are Streaming Free on YouTube Right Now

As various franchise titles under Warner Bros. Animation have been shuffled around platforms, several DC Comics animated films have landed on YouTube just in time for DC Studios Superman release. The discovery was first reported on X by @worldsfinest, a pop culture commentator who noted that they’d seen many titles appear in YouTube’s free movie catalog (be warned: that means free with ads). The random nature of seeing more of the Warner Bros. Discovery library just appearing on YouTube of all

DC Comics at Theme Parks Has Had a Bizarre History but ‘Superman’ Could Change That

There’s nostalgia for the Batman movie era at Six Flags as we head toward a new DC Studios era with Superman, On a recent visit to Magic Mountain, I found myself reminiscing fondly about the stunt shows from the ’90s. Both Batman Forever and Batman & Robin were draws as WB movie-inspired attractions for folks who didn’t want to only do roller coasters. The most vivid memory I have is Batman swinging into action and riding in the Batmobile for the explosive, stunt-heavy Magic Mountain version of

Behold, a Script for ‘The Batman Part II’

It feels like the only thing we’ve heard about The Batman Part II for years now is that various people are waiting on a script to be delivered. Now, with all the energy of a schoolboy rushing to file homework that was due earlier in the week, Reeves has provided evidence: some words that will potentially be in The Batman Part II exist. Reeves took to social media this afternoon to seemingly confirm that the latest version of his sequel to the 2022 DC film was finally ready to be sent off to Jam

Breakthrough cancer test predicts whether chemotherapy will work

A breakthrough test can successfully predict whether chemotherapy will work so patients can avoid needless side effects. The test, developed by the University of Cambridge, looks at the structure of tumour DNA and forecasts whether it will resist treatment. It was piloted using data from 840 patients with different types of cancer and found that it could help spot whether treatment was likely to fail for ovarian, prostate and breast cancers.

The Newest Marvel/DC Crossover Will Have Some Fun Team-Ups

In May, Marvel Comics and DC finally confirmed they were doing a new crossover for the first time in over 20 years. At the time, we only knew it’d involve Deadpool and Batman teaming up in a pair of one-shots from Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo (Marvel) and Grant Morrison and Dan Mora (DC). Thanks to the latest Marvel solicitations for the month of August, we know the full scope of the crossover on its side of things.

James Gunn Calls Batman His Biggest Problem in the DC Universe

When you’re in charge of DC, there are three things you know you have to get right: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. That’s why, when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios in 2023, plans were immediately put in place for the Holy Trinity of the company. The first part of that, Superman, is about to come to the big screen on July 11, but the other two pieces are still in flux. “Batman’s my biggest issue in all of DC right now, personally,” Gunn told Rolling Stone. “And it’s not—I’m

20 Years Ago, Batman Began a New Era of Hollywood

There are plenty of constants in popular culture, and Batman is near the top of the list. He’s everywhere in some fashion, particularly in movies, and his various cinematic versions have been significant in some way that speaks to how both the audience and Warner Bros. view the character. Of those, Batman Begins may be the most important. The first chapter of an eventual trilogy from director Christopher Nolan and writers David S. Goyer and Jonathan Nolan released on June 15, 2005, and marked h

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable Before the 1970s, most children affected by leukemia would quickly die from it. Now, most children in rich countries are cured. In the past, when I’d hear the words childhood leukemia, I’d picture a young child who suddenly became seriously ill, and whose parents were told their child had only a few years to live. I’d wonder how a child might grasp the idea of limited time, or how painful it must have been to face the possibility of miss

Scientists Reveal Easy Three-Step Plan to Terraform Mars

Terraforming, the act of radically transforming a planet's climate and environment to make it suitable for human habitation, currently belongs to the realm of science-fiction. But it's possible, at least in theory, and the idea of terraforming our nearest candidate planet for off-world colonization, Mars, has captivated us for generations. But how would we even begin to pull off such a monumental feat of engineering? You can basically boil it down to three simple steps, argue the authors of a r

DC Is Relaunching Batman for Only the Fourth Time in Almost 85 Years

A Batman #1 doesn’t come along very often. Well, unless you’ve been reading comics for the past 15 years, in which case, it’s come along a couple times already. Modern comic books! But even then, in what is about to be eight-and-a-half-decades of Batman that’s still not a lot of relaunches–and DC is going all-in to make this fourth one stand out. Last night at ComicsPro DC confirmed that the fourth-ever relaunch of the primary, solo Batman book (there are of course, dozens upon dozens upon doze

Astronomers create first 3D map of a hellish alien planet's atmosphere

The big picture: Nearly 6,000 exoplanets have now been confirmed in the vast expanse of the Milky Way galaxy. Some are believed to have the potential to harbor life, while others are so hostile that they make Venus seem mild by comparison. One such planet is the ultra-hot Jupiter known as WASP-121b, nicknamed Tylos – a world so extreme it defies expectations. Located around 900 light-years away in the Puppis constellation, Tylos orbits its parent star at an absurdly close distance, completing a
