Marvel does the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's April's issue of Watch This Space!
It's been an absolutely stacked month of reveals and releases for sci-fi fans across movies, shows, and games, so let's dive into it.
That extended Superman trailer they showed off at CinemaCon was a bit special, wasn't it? Like Alien, Terminator, and Star Wars, the number of bad Superman movies now vastly outweighs the good ones, but I've got a good feeling about James Gunn's upcoming iteration of the Man of Steel. Can this rebooted DCU finally take on Marvel's dominance? We'll see, but the MCU is obviously scared because they've hired half of Hollywood to be in Avengers: Doomsday, as announced in the somewhat fun but mostly ridiculous six-hour live stream cast reveal.
Two iconic sci-fi TV shows returned to our screens this month, in Doctor Who and Black Mirror. We wrote a fantastic piece on how Doctor Who is a sci-fi show for everyone, even if every episode isn't. While I've knocked the show in the past for its goofier moments, it also caters to my hard, dark sci-fi needs with gems like the 'Heaven Sent' episode. Meanwhile, one of our writers was brave enough to put together a ranking of every 'Black Mirror' Season 7 episode — I'm sure no one in the comment section could disagree with his choices…
Bungie, creators of Halo, reintroduced us to their upcoming sci-fi shooter Marathon, and it looks… kinda awesome. I'm not a huge fan of extraction shooters, but damn if it doesn't look stylish. And I mean, it's Bungie — they're the kings of the first-person shooters, so you'd be fools to bet against them.
In case you missed them, we had a pair of fantastic retrospectives on the site this month. It's been 25 years since Pitch Black came out, and we dove into why Vin Diesel's Riddick could never recapture the magic of that first movie. We've also taken another trip down memory lane to analyse Chappie, Neil Blomkamp's charming, but ultimately flawed, story of a robot discovering its humanity.

See you out there, Ian Stokes, Entertainment Editor, Space
