[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Game of Thrones ahead.] - When Game of Thrones’ season 5 finale aired last summer, even the most tragedy hardened of the show’s fans were appalled by the ‘death’ of fan favorite and symbol of super theory: Jon Snow (Kit Harington). The ensuing uproar and simple disbelief regarding this plot decision has become an internet breaking phenomena that has yet to desist. The Game of Thrones showrunners, marketing team, cast members and Harington himself have consequently become embroiled in a complicated game of double bluffing hinting and denial that would make even Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) seem an amateur in manipulation....

It may be the strangest element of the modern rise of billion-dollar superhero blockbusters: that while the money and awareness rolls in, with heroes bigger and more recognizable than ever before, both Marvel and DC are having trouble linking that success to more comic sales. As a result, both companies have relied on some massive events and relaunches to pursue a modern audience - but with the impending DC Rebirth, the publisher is trying something a little different: bringing new stories and titles, but framing it all as a throwback to the company’s (and characters’) roots....

UPDATE: Deadline has alleged that Bettany isn’t replacing Williams, saying he is a totally different, human character (Williams was going to be part-CGI). The original article follows. Paul Bettany has been tapped by director Ron Howard to replace Michael K. Williams in the young Han Solo movie. It’s been a roller coaster ride for the second Star Wars anthology movie since it began earlier this year, hitting a low with the firing of co-directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller from the production earlier this summer, and quickly getting back on track with the hiring of veteran Lucasfilm actor and director Howard to finish principal photography on the movie, as well as its reshoots....

[Major SPOILERS ahead for the Gotham season 3 finale.] - Despite the young age of Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) on FOX’s Gotham, the series hasn’t hesitated from establishing many of Batman’s iconic rogues gallery of villains, including Penguin, Riddler, Poison Ivy, (possibly) the Joker, and now the season 3 finale is promising Solomon Grundy.
