The Lego Batman Movie came next, taking one of the most memorable characters from the original and going ‘full DC’ with a whole cast of superheroes. Despite lacking the same box office clout as its predecessor, Lego Batman earned much praise from audiences, and comic book fans were especially impressed by the lighter, heartfelt take on the Caped Crusader. Unfortunately, that waning box office was a sign of things to come for Warner Bros.’ Lego Cinematic Universe . The Lego Ninjago Movie followed shortly after Will Arnett’s Dark (Yellow) Knight spin-off, but to much less fanfare and considerably lower revenue, perhaps paying the price for a more niche Lego concept. A direct sequel to the original, 2019’s The Second Part , failed to reverse those fortunes and other planned projects were swiftly axed. More recently, the Lego company have shifted focus back to toys after their own dip in revenue and Warner Bros. lost the movie rights to Universal earlier this year. Turns out everything isn’t awesome after
G2 Esports once again was the team to beat during 2016 summer, rounding out the split in 1st place. The team would go on to win the summer playoffs and capture their second title in as many seasons. Swiping Origen’s bot lane from under their noses and stealing Europe’s limelight away from Fnatic, combined with the team’s unforgiving dominance and MSI controversy, in less than a year, G2 Esports quickly became the villains of Eur
Man of Steel proved a divisive first chapter to the DCEU, but that polarizing response would be a mere taster compared to the reaction Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice would attract in 2016. With a critically-panned Suicide Squad and a Justice League team-up movie that people disliked so intensely they (successfully!) campaigned for the release of a director’s cut, the DCEU certainly didn’t get off to the start Warner Bros. would’ve liked. Nevertheless, the franchise must still be considered a success. Outside of the releases mentioned above, Wonder Woman , Aquaman and Shazam all found varying levels of joy by adhering less strictly to the shared universe format. Having settled into its own grove, more DCEU releases are now on the way, extending the franchise into 2022 and likely beyond. The confirmed release of the Justice league Of legends builds Snyder cut will ensure the DCEU remains of cultural significance for the next 12 mon
It’s your job to be a poke support by steadily damaging enemies and controlling the crowd while your bottom ally cleans up. Occasionally you’ll venture off to help the Jungler with objectives like the Dragon, but your main priority is to hold the line while teammates make progress on bot
In this image, we can see everyone but the ADCs involved in what seems to be a jungle skirmish. Rengar’s leap onto Udyr is the definite focus, while Master Yi is entering the fray to clean up. We’re guessing from Teemo’s expression that he got caught to initiate the fight and is now backing out of the act

2019 marked the league’s rebrand from the EU LCS to the LEC, the League of Legends European Championship. In their fourth year in the league, G2 would drop the bombshell of the decade by signing former Fnatic mid laner Rasmus “Caps” Borregaar, and moving Perkz to the AD carry position. The team would go on to sign Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle as w
Warner Bros. were one of several who went all-in on developing shared universes, and while some have long since been forgotten, others are rolling on and gradually adopting a style and format all of their own. Here are the 5 shared universes Warner Bros. produced and their status here and now in 2
We might not have seen Riot Squad Singed with those Gangster Poros, but this is a skin concept we could get behind. Singed occupies that weird area where it’s hard to give him a unique skin which seems relevant. VegaColors seems to have cracked the code on t
James Wan’s The Conjuring was already spiritually connected to the sub-genre of jump-scare heavy modern horror releases in the vein of Insidious and Sinister , and Warner Bros. were no doubt hoping the effort would make enough money to produce a run of sequels. The Conjuring would indeed go on to frighten its way into fans’ hearts and spook the cash from their wallets, and it was only then that the widespread potential of The Conjuring not just as a film series but as a fully-interconnected movie universe became cl
