Robert Pattinson’s Batman suit from The Batman is getting a fresh spotlight as NART Action unveils a detailed new release inspired by the Dark Knight’s look in Matt Reeves’ 2022 film.

The new release recreates Pattinson’s grounded version of Batman, whose heavily armoured suit became one of the most recognisable elements of Reeves’ take on the character. The announcement arrives at an ideal time for fans, with The Batman Part II now in production and Pattinson returning as Bruce Wayne.

NART Action has announced that pre-orders for its The Batman release will begin on September 4 at 8 PM GMT+8. Fans can also RSVP ahead of the pre-order to receive exclusive information about the release.

The company is also hosting a “Become The Night” event on September 5 and 6, from 9 AM to 11 AM GMT+8, which will stream on its YouTube and TikTok channels.

The announcement uses Batman’s iconic “I’m vengeance” line from The Batman. It will be available in India, Mainland China, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan(China), and Hong Kong SAR.

Plot details for Batman sequel remain under wraps, although the sequel will continue the story of Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne following the events of the 2022 film. The first movie ended with Gotham recovering from a catastrophic flood while Batman began establishing himself as a symbol of hope rather than simply an instrument of vengeance.

One of the most celebrated games of 2021 is now available at a massive 70% discount on the PlayStation Store. The award-winning title, which took home the prestigious Game of the Year prize, can now be picked up for significantly less by PlayStation players looking for a memorable co-op experience.

The game in question is Hazelight Studios’ critically acclaimed It Takes Two, which launched in 2021 and went on to become one of the year’s biggest gaming success stories.

It Takes Two is currently available at 70% off on the PlayStation Store, making it an excellent opportunity for players who have yet to experience one of the generation’s most popular cooperative adventures. The game is available across PlayStation platforms, including PS4 and PS5.

With the discount, the game is now available for Rs 749. The offer ends on 10 September 2026, so fans have around 10 days to grab the deal. The co-op game usually costs Rs 2499.

What to Know About It Takes Two?

The discount applies to the full game across both PS4 and PS5, meaning buyers get the enhanced current-gen version at no extra cost. It Takes Two is a purely cooperative platform-adventure built by Hazelight Studios, the team behind A Way Out, and published by Electronic Arts.

Unlike traditional games that can be played alone, It Takes Two is designed entirely around two-player co-op. The game follows a couple on the verge of divorce who are magically transformed into dolls and forced to work together to return to human form. Players control Cody and May, each with entirely different, level-specific abilities that force constant communication and coordination to progress.

Since launch, It Takes Two has been held up as one of the strongest arguments for co-op-only gaming, currently holding a Metacritic score of 88 and an OpenCritic score of 88.

The game is playable on PS4, PS5, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

A new sequel to the acclaimed 1990 sports action drama “Days of Thunder” has officially been announced, nearly 40 years after the original hit theatres. Starring Tom Cruise and Anne Hathaway, the film was initially set in motion back in 2024, when reports first surfaced that Cruise was in talks to star in and produce a follow-up.

Tom Cruise and Anne Hathaway announced the sequel in a playful video filmed at a NASCAR racetrack. The clip also sees Hathaway, who is currently pregnant, joking about her plans for the film after welcoming her baby. “I am gonna have this baby, and we’re making the movie,” the American actress says, with Cruise quickly responding, “That’s a good idea.”

What to Know About the New Days of Thunder Movie Sequel

Paramount Pictures has confirmed that the “Days of Thunder” sequel will race into screens on 2 June 2028.

Tom Cruise will reprise his role as Cole Trickle, the talented and determined race car driver he played in the original Days of Thunder. Anne Hathaway joins the franchise in a major new role, is set to play a race car team owner and engineer. However, most plot details surrounding the sequel remain under wraps.

Jonathan Levine will direct the new Days of Thunder, while Cruise will produce alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Tommy Harper. Reports have also identified Will Staples as the screenwriter. The film is being shot for IMAX screens and will receive an exclusive theatrical release, including formats such as Dolby Cinema and 4DX.

This marks Cruise’s first major franchise commitment since scaling back “Mission: Impossible,” and it arrives alongside his other upcoming projects, another “Top Gun” instalment and the Alejandro González Iñárritu drama “Digger.”

The original Days of Thunder, released in 1990 and directed by Tony Scott, followed Cole Trickle as a gifted but inexperienced driver entering the world of NASCAR racing. He is recruited to a new team and guided by veteran crew chief Harry Hogge, played by Robert Duvall, as he attempts to turn raw talent into success on the race track.

GTA 6 Extended Look Finally Reveals What Rockstar’s Next Open World Really Looks Like

GTA 6 has received its biggest official gameplay showcase yet, first on Netflix and now on YouTube.

After years of trailers, leaks, speculation and carefully controlled glimpses, Rockstar Games has finally given players a much longer look at Grand Theft Auto VI. The nearly 27-minute GTA 6 Extended Look premiered on Netflix on August 27 before becoming available on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel and the game’s website.

Captured entirely from in-game footage on the PlayStation 5, the presentation offers the deepest official look yet at Rockstar’s next-generation open world, its dual protagonists and the fictional state of Leonida.

GTA 6 Extended Look Reveals More of Jason, Lucia and Leonida

The extended presentation gives players a closer look at Jason and Lucia, the game’s two protagonists, as they navigate a crime-filled story across Vice City and the wider state of Leonida.

While previous trailers focused heavily on cinematic moments and the game’s world, the new presentation spends more time showing how Rockstar’s next open world could feel in motion. The footage includes police chases, shootouts, driving, underwater exploration and other activities spread across Leonida.

The scale of the world is one of the biggest takeaways. Rockstar appears to be pushing further into the kind of detailed and reactive open-world design seen in Red Dead Redemption 2, with the developers suggesting that players will encounter events and discoveries naturally rather than simply following icons across a map.

The Netflix-first premiere was also an unusual move for one of gaming’s biggest releases. The presentation initially debuted on the streaming platform before Rockstar made the full video freely available on YouTube, allowing players without a Netflix subscription to watch the extended look.

Grand Theft Auto VI is currently scheduled to launch on 19 November 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. With the release now drawing closer, the Extended Look could mark the beginning of Rockstar’s biggest promotional push yet for what is expected to be one of the most significant game launches of the decade.

You can now pre-order the game on the official sites of Rockstar Games, the PlayStation Store, and the Xbox Game Store.

The Batman Part 2: New Set Video Shows the Batmobile’s Brutal Escape From GCPD

Fresh footage from The Batman Part 2 has revealed another explosive angle from the film’s ongoing Glasgow shoot. The new video shows Robert Pattinson’s Batmobile surrounded by multiple GCPD vehicles before forcing its way out.

A newly surfaced video from the Glasgow set shows several GCPD vehicles surrounding the Batmobile, seemingly leaving Batman with little room to escape. But instead of remaining trapped, the vehicle appears to ram its way through the police blockade in a brutal display of force.

The Dark Knight remains an enemy to the GCPD. While Batman was still an illegal masked vigilante operating outside the law, he had developed a strong working relationship with Jeffrey Wright’s James Gordon by the end of the 2022 film. Gordon was also one of the few officers Batman could genuinely trust, especially as the pair investigated the Riddler case and uncovered the deep corruption running through Gotham.

What do we know about The Batman: Part 2 so far?

The Batman Part 2 sees Matt Reeves return to direct, with Robert Pattinson reprising his role as Bruce Wayne and Batman. Key returning cast members include Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon and Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, following his appearance in The Penguin. Recent reporting has also linked Scarlett Johansson, Jayme Lawson and Charles Dance to the sequel, although details surrounding several characters remain under wraps.

Official plot details remain under wraps, but the film is set during the winter following the flooding of Gotham City, with Bruce Wayne further investigating the corruption and division within the city.

With production continuing in Glasgow, the Batmobile chase is already becoming one of the most talked-about sequences from the set. And judging by this latest angle, The Batman Part II could be putting the Dark Knight in a position fans did not expect — running from the very police force he once worked alongside.

The movie is set to release in theatres on 18 February 2028.
