Film
A couple of posters for Captain America: The Winter Solider have been released. One features Agent 13, the other is an awesome throwback to the seventies style of movie poster (that’s the one to the right). More at CBR.

Tom Cruise dies a lot in the latest trailer of Edge of Tomorrow. Adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka's All You Need is Kill, the film stars Tom Cruise as a soldier trained by Emily Blunt who can resurrect. More on Youtube.

Unsubstantiated rumours are swirling that The Rock will be Lobo at some point, but he is for sure Hercules. There’s a trailer that proves it, something we like to call “irrefutable evidence.” More on Youtube.

The latest DC All Access contains footage of the next DC animated film, Son of Batman. It also has voice actor Jason O’Mara reading a grocery list in his Batman voice and some news about Swamp Thing. More on Youtube.

Video Games
Facebook has bought Oculus VR for $2 billion. The virtual reality headset company began as a Kickstarter that developed a head-mounted display for video games. As a result, Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson has cancelled plans to make a version of Minecraft for Oculus. More at Time.

The special edition of the upcoming Wolfenstein game, The New Order, has something very notable missing: the game itself. The Panzerhund Edition of the game comes with “a vintage footlocker-style box…, a set of 14 full-color weathered-looking postcards,” and other goodies, but the game itself is sold separately. More at the AV Club.

Comics
Titan Comics has released David Leach's Psycho Gran exclusively on Comixology. The classic strip is getting a whole new 28-page story, only on the digital distributor. More at Bleeding Cool.

Valiant Comics has released a trailer for RAI #1 and bumped up its release date to April 30. The new ongoing will be written by Matt Kindt and drawn by Clayton Crain. Watch it below:

Television
Gotham has released two official images from the upcoming look into the early days of Jim Gordon: one of Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot, the other of Ben McKenzie as James Gordon. More on Gotham and McKenzie’s Twitter feeds.

Head of Marvel TV Studios Jeph Loeb has announced that Daredevil will begin shooting in July. The series is one of four Marvel series heading to Netflix, along with Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist. More at Hitflix.

Amy Acker will play the cellist, Coulson's love interest, in upcoming episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This will be Acker's fifth Whedon-related project. More at TV Guide.

Fans of LEGO and The Simpsons will be able to get their hands on some official Simpsons minifigures in May. Characters include the Simpson family, Milhouse, Mr. Burns, and 11 more. More at Kotaku.

This is pure speculation but I am too excited not to mention it. There is talk of a Community movie with Justin Lin, director of such episodes as "Modern Warfare" and "Interpretive Dance," at the helm. More at TV Guide.

Netflix will stop streaming 24 for its subscribers on April 1. So those who want to catch up on the series before the upcoming miniseries Live Another Day have less than a week. More at Variety.
