Jack Nicholson's TDK Reaction Shows How Major The DCEU ... - Screen Rant

Batman star Jack Nicholson was not happy when he heard that Heath Ledger would be taking over his role as the Joker for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, and the Hollywood icon's emotional reaction draws a surprising comparison to the current shakeups surrounding the DCU now that James Gunn has taken over the franchise's creative direction. As the DCU begins to take shape, it is becoming increasingly clear to fans that few vestiges of the old DCEU will remain, especially after the ousting of Henry Cavill as Superman only weeks after his long-awaited return. However, recasting iconic comic book movie roles is far from a new practice in Hollywood.

Gossip Girl’s tumultuous love stories made the CW drama famous, but HBO Max’s reboot actually beats the original show in one key way for how it treats its romances. Throughout Gossip Girl seasons 1 to 6, many protagonists coupled up and broke up with various other characters, sometimes leading audiences to believe no one would be free from sharing romantic ties with the central players.

Minecraft: How to Unlock (& Use) Blood Magic - Screen Rant

Mods are a way to enhance the base gameplay within Minecraft. Mods are especially important regarding an older game like this because many players have "completed" the game, explored all there is to explore, and built all there is to build. Installing mods breaks up the monotony of the current gameplay and instead enhances, or even adds, elements within the base game. Players have the potential to have more customization options when building, incorporating other gaming worlds into Minecraft, and venturing on new quests.
