Nearly 20 years after the beloved animated TV show Batman Beyond left the airwaves, a talented concept artist has reimagined the series as a Christopher Nolan-inspired feature film. The Batman Beyond series was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Comics at the turn of the millennium. The show follows the adventures of Terry McGinnis, a teenager in the future, as he trains to become the new Batman under the tutelage of Bruce Wayne himself....

According to the FBI, the bulk of the funds generated via BEC attacks (including the ones involving fake invoice schemes) are transferred to China and Hong Kong, from where they’re diverted to other financial firms — or in other cases, casinos. The agency also revealed the use of British banks is on the rise. If recipients clear the invoice, their company loses funds (and the victim is at risk of losing his/her job)....

This opens up the opportunity for third party developers who can now create a multitude of add-ons which will add all the missing features of Google Drive and then some. Nevertheless, like with any other app store, there will some examples of Google Drive add-ons which won’t be as useful or won’t work as intended. But for now, let’s focus on the ones that do, and here are our picks for the best Google Drive add-ons....

New MacBook Pros weren’t the only thing updated quietly in the Apple Store this morning. Apple has updated the whole line of Smart Covers for iPad. You’ll notice the Orange Smart Cover is now gone and Apple has added a lovely Dark Gray Polyurethane model. Apple has added “color matched microfiber lining” to the description of the leather products (gone are the gray lining across the board) as you can see in the images below:...

Arrow star Katie Cassidy Rodgers has pitched a Birds of Prey show to The CW. Big things are going to happen in the Arrowverse soon due to Crisis on Infinite Earths, the end of Arrow, and even the debut of an untitled show set in the same universe. In many ways, the Arrowverse successfully created a connected universe of superheros. The Flash spun out of Arrow, and became one of the most popular comic book shows on television....

In the case of the August Doorbell Cam, both Apple and August promise HomeKit support for the existing hardware already on the market. August ships a HomeKit-compatible door lock, but the smart doorbell camera doesn’t yet work with Apple’s Home app in any way. Apple’s HomeKit feature technically supports both smart home video systems and doorbells, but so far only one HomeKit video camera has shipped. D-Link’s Omna 180 launched earlier this year as the only HomeKit video camera to actually ship, while Apple lists August Doorbell Cam as the only HomeKit doorbell on its HomeKit site, although support has been promised for a year now....

James Cameron has revealed the planned release dates for his quintet of Avatar sequels, with dates between 2020 and 2025. Ever since the first Avatar set an all-time box office record of $2.7 billion (one that doesn’t look likely to be beaten anytime soon) in 2009, sequels in some form have been at the forefront of James Cameron’s mind. He created an entire world that - thanks to the wonders of motion capture and 3D technology - audiences were clearly hungry for and he has some big ideas for....

There may never be another film like Avengers: Endgame, using time travel to give fans a trip back through the MCU they had watched take shape, to give heroes the ending they truly deserved. It was such a perfect ending, in fact, that few would ever think time travel was pitched and scrapped–before a business decision unintentionally changed everything. Marvel’s insistence on not letting their stories get too serious–even when avenging half the universe–has earned some criticism....

There was always something distinct about Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, and Batman Begins started this unique style by delivering angles that the audience wasn’t used to. Here, by “storylines," we mean character traits, plot devices, and themes that formed part of the overall experience of watching the movie. In this regard, Batman Begins defied almost all superhero movie tropes to present a grounded take on the genre, one whose style has since been injected in superhero movies today, although still not quite on the level as we saw here....

Belkin’s “Wemo” lineup of app-controlled smart home accessories is getting support for the Works with Nest program, which means you can now interface the smart thermostat with Belkin’s Wemo products in various ways. The integration means that Wemo Switches— Wemo Insight Switch, Wemo Switch, Wemo Light Switch and Wemo Maker— can now tap into Nest’s home and away statuses to initiate their own setting changes and more. And you can now use the Wemo app on your mobile device to control certain Nest features, including viewing and changing the temperature and changing Home and Away modes....

Follow along for a look at some of the best apps for young kids. Balancing kids’ screen time can be challenging.

A screenshot revealed by TechnoBuffalo indicates that Best Buy will be running a trade-in promotion where any undamaged, working smartphone will get you a minimum $100 gift card to use toward the purchase of a new iPhone – enough to cover the down payment on an iPhone 5c. That’s interesting because Best Buy sells Android smartphones off plan for around $50 so even if you don’t want to give up your old iPhone, you could walk into the store, pick up a cheap Virgin smartphone, trade it in and walk away saving some money....

Still, several Apple Watch pre-order customers with delivery dates of April 24-May 8 still see ‘processing’ orders that have yet to be charged suggesting not all pre-orders with the initial delivery date range will be delivered on launch day. The reports of Apple Watch pre-order customers with May and June ship dates now being charged and seeing orders prepare for shipment adds to the uncertainty of whether or not customers with early delivery dates will see shipments on Friday....

SketchyPad SketchyPad, together with similar apps like iMockups, makes it easy to play around with various visual layouts....

Warner Bros. is working on a “horror-tinged” Aquaman spinoff movie, The Trench. The DC Extended Universe has its biggest hit yet thanks to James Wan’s underwater adventure solo movie for Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa). The film has made over $1 billion at the box office and is officially the highest grossing DC movie ever made. The success of Aquaman has immediately spawned discussions of a sequel, which are still in the early stages at this point....

Fans may not have a new Assassin’s Creed game until 2020, but there is more than one way to enter the ancient war of Assassins and Templars. Luckily, Titan Comics has just released Assassin’s Creed: The Fall & The Chain, the graphic novel collecting both halves of what is likely the most important Assassin’s Creed story NOT featured in the video game. Not completely, anyway. The star of the modern side of the AC saga will always be remembered as Desmond Miles, but fans who have spent hours diving through the extended lore, comic books, novels, and online archives know Desmond is just a pawn in a larger game....

AT&T today announced its shared data plans for smartphone, tablet (phablet?), and Mac/PC users. Current and new customers will be able to choose plans for all of their devices with one with a fairly simple matrix. Current customers will not be forced into these plans (ahem Verizon!), but many with multiple devices/family members might jump at the opportunity. Bucket plans start at $45 a month (but drop to $30 a month at higher data tiers) + $40 for 1GB of data....
