Gossip Girl’s Nate and Blair were quite the iconic couple for the first two seasons of the show. Unfortunately for these two characters, their relationship was mostly filled with drama and heartache. Nate and Blair had been together for years and Blair was convinced that there would be wedding bells. Of course, Nate had other plans in mind. The series’ pilot revealed that Nate and Blair’s best friend had previously gotten together and Blair had no idea that her world was about to be turned upside down....

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Gotham season 2 ahead.] - Gotham, love it or loathe it (or something in between), has yet to change course and has continued even further down the path that it paved during its freshman season - significantly re-imagining numerous key elements of the Gotham City comic book mythology in season 2, in particular the supervillains that Bruce Wayne (who for now is just a 14-15 year old boy, played by David Mazouz) will one day do battle with on the city’s mean (and weird) streets, when he becomes Batman....

French site Mac4Ever says that a hands-on look at the machine suggests that it may in future be possible to upgrade the graphic card in the new Mac Pro. We’ve also heard a whisper of unofficial confirmation from an Apple source. I’m not sure I buy the official Apple upgrade idea: if Apple intended the machine to be that upgradeable, it would likely have made the CPU upgradeable too. But it certainly seems possible that the construction would make it at least technically possible for third-party graphics card upgrades to be made available at a later date....

Batman has been getting a lot of attention when it comes to the big screen, with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice released this year, a smaller appearance in next month’s villain team-up Suicide Squad, and talk of the upcoming Batman solo film - not to mention the LEGO Batman Movie.

The Grand Theft Auto series of video games, with their intricate plotlines, expansive worlds and ultra-violent content, would seem to be a perfect candidates to be adapted into a feature film or better yet a TV series.

Well, today, that is what is going to happen!...

Gotham star David Mazouz once again discusses Jerome/The Joker, saying that Jerome will be instrumental to the actual Joker’s creation. Over the course of its nearly four seasons, Gotham has played host to many memorable villains, many of whom serve as early versions of iconic members of Batman’s rogues’ gallery. So far, The Penguin, The Riddler, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, The Scarecrow, and more have all gotten their own Gotham spin, even if said spin is sometimes wildly different from the conventional interpretation of the character....
