After dominating the box office for the past two weekends, Iron Man 3 was finally outdone by a newcomer in the form of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek sequel, Into Darkness.

Remember that teaser for the Batman: Arkham Origins trailer last week? The full trailer has landed — and Batman has moves. This official trailer shows him taking down criminals and escaping an explosion, only to have two villains appear wanting to take him down.

There’s news today that Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Velvet Goldmine) is in talks for an undisclosed role in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII.
El Mayimbe over at Latino Review broke the scoop, and he has a pretty good track record with breaking casting news. Let the speculation begin on what role he’ll be playing, but if it’s true, my money’s on Jacen Solo (if they even go down that road).

First Peek At The PlayStation 4
Sony released their first exclusive teaser trailer for their upcoming next-gen console. The 39-second teaser flashes bits and pieces of the hardware, but like a true teaser, it’s still difficult to put together a full picture.
An entire reveal of the PlayStation 4 (you’ll actually get to see it this time) will be had at Sony’s press conference at this year’s E3 on June 10.
Is it a coincidence that Sony sent out a teaser a day before Microsoft officially announces their next-gen console? I think not.

Follow Memory Hunter Nilin Through A New “Remember Me” Trailer
The latest trailer for Dontnod’s and Capcom’s Remember Me dives into protagonist Nilin’s personal story. When she awakens without memories, the voice of a man named Edge offers direction: he tells Nilin that she’s a memory hunter who can not only “pillage” memories, but actually “remix” them. And her task is to go after the enemy, the corporation called Memorize that stole her memories in the first place.
Watch the trailer for gameplay footage and shots of the futuristic game setting, Neo Paris. Remember Me will let you rewrite characters’ histories when it comes out June 4 in North American and June 7 in Europe on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
