Cheetah Revealed in Wonder Woman 1984 Trailer
The second trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 had plenty for fans to love, and it gave us our first look at Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah in her fully transformed state, allowing her to travel at incredible speeds and scale walls.

Though most of the trailer focuses on Barbara Ann Minerva and her journey towards transformation, we see a fully-realized Cheetah near the end of the trailer, facing off against Wonder Woman donning her golden eagle armor. In the clip, we see her fight Diana to a standstill.
Wonder Woman 1984 is currently slated for an October 2, 2020 release.
Batman: Gotham Knights Game Announced
WB Montreal’s Batman game Gotham Knights has finally been revealed after literal years of teasers. Instead of playing as Batman - who is reportedly dead - you’ll take control of Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood. It will be entirely playable solo or with two-player online co-op. A 7-minute gameplay trailer showcases the type of gameplay we can expect, and it looks similar to the previous Batman Arkham games, although WB Montreal has confirmed it takes place in a separate timeline.

Each character will have their own set of abilities, such as Robin’s ability to teleport short distances in combat using the Justice League’s satellite, or Batgirl’s many martial arts styles. Besides a plethora of Gotham goons, we got a glimpse at Mr. Freeze attempting to encase Gotham City in ice as well as a short fight involving Batgirl and Robin.
The end of the official Gotham Knights trailer teased the Court of Owls’ involvement with a large circular room lined with coffin-like enclosures which are likely housing the Talons — child assassins kidnapped by the Court of Owls.
