DCEU Batman: Ben Affleck Shuts Down the Returning Possibility

As we all know that the forthcoming The Batman movie will star Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader instead of the former star Ben Affleck. Recently it is reported that he has shown no indication for returning in the DCEU as well as he has not initiated any practical step to portray this. The Warner Bros. studio had a sad past for the development of the Dark Knight character when it comes to his presence in the franchise. In the genesis of the new common universe, the studio chose Ben Affleck for starring Batman in the DCEU, and then he bought the character back to life in the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie.

Since then, Ben Affleck has appeared in a few DCEU movies, including Suicide Squad and Justice League. The universe was in planning to release a solo movie for the Caped Crusader, and previously it was set to write and directed by Ben Affleck. However, things change with time, and the same happened with the planning of the DCEU solo Batman movie. When the “behind the scenes” issue triggered and removed scenes of the DC films. Then issues were started about Affleck’s role in the deleted scenes, and then people started questioning his forthcoming solo movie. 
Then Affleck stepped down in the DCEU with his leaving as a director in the movies, which was later defined as health issues. Then many of the critics and audiences started lowballing Batfleck’s version of Batman. After recruiting Matt Reeves as the new director for the forthcoming solo Batman movie, it becomes doubtful whether Affleck will remain in the movie as a star as well. Later in 2019, Robert Pattinson was officially recruited for the role of Batman in the upcoming solo movie.  
With the new Bruce Wayne, it was also confirmed that the solo movie would feature the initial days of Batman in the movie when he started his crime fight. Now after that happened, Ben Affleck used the situation for leaving the franchise and then to continue his career in other projects that care more for him.  
Recently he had a chitchat with DeWayne Hamby for the promotion of the upcoming movie The Way Back. The interviewer asked him whether he has left the DCEU completely or he has any plan to return back to the DC universe. Then Affleck calmly replied to him that his appearance as DC’s Batman is now completely over. He continues that he had completely enjoyed the moment when he was cast as the Caped Crusader in the DCEU movies, and he also enjoyed the fact that he got a chance to direct and write a solo movie for the popular character. However, he also stated that his interest in the comic superhero characters also vanished at the same time when he got the opportunity to star, write, and direct the character.
He then told the interviewer that he is now happy to leave the franchise as well as excited to see Robert Pattinson’s Batman in the forthcoming solo movie. During the conclusion of the interview, the interviewer humorously explained that he might return for The Dark Knight Returns for the role of Batman. However, Affleck seemed less interested in the same talk at the same time when he explained his return.

Guns & Weapons Tier List in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 is finally here, and developers have added multiple new weapons to make the game highly competitive and interesting. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 already has two new maps. Guns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 are categorized in the tier and from these tiers, players get to know the power and stats of the weapon. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 looks little different from the previous season, but in a positive way. In the weapon tier, A and S are the highest tier and weapons of these tiers are deadly and ultimate.

Even the A and S tiers have several new guns in the Modern Warfare Season 2. After the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2, there are several weapons that player should know about in order to play the game perfectly.
Why did Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Meta Changed?
In Call of Duty: Modern, several things have changed, and one of the biggest change occurred in the maps section. The maps used to be smaller in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, so guns like SMGs had an advantage of killing the enemies. In the current version, the powers of guns are still the same, but the maps require more versatility.
Weapon Tier List
D-Tier Weapon of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
It’s unfortunate, but Uzi made its mark in the D-Tier list of guns, and it is one of the worst guns of the game. In the shooting speed, Uzi is great and that is what makes it a unique gun. From season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Uzi is staying at the bottom because nothing is changed in this weapon.
Apart from Uzi, SA87 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare can’t compete with other guns even after multiple additional items, and that is why it is also on D-Tier. Rifle gun, EBR 14 is also the worst from its entire same category.
C-Tier Weapon of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Shotguns are no use in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and even if they used in close range, they are still not that affective to the players. Dragunov is still the worst sniper gun of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but it’s fun to use. PP19, PILA and X16 all three are the same level of guns, and they are not impressive at all. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare some better choice of guns are available that does better than these PP19, PILA and X16 three guns.
B-Tier Weapon of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
In the SMG categories, AUG is considered the worst, but after using attachments, modification and versatility, it can perform better. The gun .357 revolver is terrible, but if you use it with shotguns rounds, then it can work better as a pocket beast.
A-Tier Weapon of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
In the A-Tier, you can find several deadly guns to use on the battlefield. The FN SCAR 17 is an ultimate A-Tier gun that can kill the enemy quickly, but it still falls lower than AK-47. The Holger-26 is an incredible choice of the gun which is an LMG but works like an AR. If you prefer to play on smaller maps, then Holger-26 can you help you in a much better way.
In the shotgun category of guns, R9-O is the best weapon, but in comparison with 725, it is little less in competition. The gun MK2 carbine is the perfect substitute for 725 because it can kill the enemy in one shot.
S-Tier Weapon of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
As mentioned above, both A and S tiers have the highest number of guns and one of them is AK47 which is an extremely deadly gun for close and long-range shooting range categories. M4A1 is also a great gun that gives tough competition to AK47. M4A1 is in S-Tier because of its power, and there is no particular weakness of this amazing gun.

Apple Blocks Clearview AI Facial Recognition on iPhone

According to BuzzFeed NewsApple has disabled the app of ClearView artificial intelligence facial recognition due to the controversies copped up regarding the app. Apple took this decision after it found that the app is violating the developed agreement and so suspended it. Amidst all, the move taken by the company is a big blow to the facial recognition that starts up. The app has faced several challenges and lawsuits from privacy advocates. In an analysis of a clear view artificial app, BuzzFeed found that the company is violating the rules of iPhone makers while distributing its apps to customers and law enforcement agencies.

ClearView has claimed that the iOS application developed by it has worked with thousands of organizations and institutions and has amassed a database of billions of photos but the application has been disabled by Apple. It was found that the NewYork based company has violated the rules of iPhone makers around the app distribution. BuzzFeed News has stated that facial recognition application of ClearView has been used by more than 2,200 private and public organizations which also includes the NBA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the FBI has sidestepped the Apple app store.
The sidestepping of the Apple App Store further encouraged those people who were willing to utilize the software for downloading its app through an exclusively reserved program for the developers. Further, Apple investigated the matter responding to the inquiry done by BuzzFeed and suspended the ClearView developer account preventing it from operating. Apple has also sent 14 days’ notice to ClearView to respond to the mater and said that those companies violating the rules regarding the Apple Developer Enterprise Program will be liable for revocation of their respective accounts.
Meanwhile, the spokesman of ClearView has said that the company is in contact with Apple and continuously working on complying with the terms and conditions laid by Apple. The CEO of ClearView AI Hoan Ton-That said in an interview the customers and users can not use the app without having a valid account of ClearView. However, the users can download the application but they will not be able to search for anything without having the proper credentials and authorization.
However, it is not clear that what the CEO of ClearView wanted to say in his statement and what he meant by credentials and authorization. It is noteworthy that the facial recognition application of ClearView is used by several entities and organizations which includes banks, private investigation agencies, retailers, corporate and government organizations. The application technology of ClearView can be used through both mobile apps and desktop computer software.
Amidst all these controversies, it should be taken into notice that ClearView AI is not the first company that is facing the lawsuits and allegations by violating the Apple Developer Program rules as earlier Google and FaceBook were also found violating the rules. Both Google and Facebook were restricted by Apple to use its platform by suspending their accounts. However, ClearView is busy in promoting its application but it will be interesting to see how the company resolves the matter with Apple.

Why Disney + Lizzie McGuire Revival Series is Delayed?

Fans may have to wait for more for watching Disney+ show Lizzie McGuire revival because of the problems that the production is facing. An idea of relaunching show was shared at last summer in which Hilary Duff and original characters will play their roles. The show was first streamed on Disney Channel in the 2000s, and then the featured movie was dropped in 2003. That’s why Lizzie McGuire’s revival is getting delayed and what’s it’s all about for the series future.


The beginning of the series focused at young audiences, in which Lizzie McGuire tackle her life as a middle school student. With her two best friends Gordo and Miranda and also her parents and irritating little brother Matt. She also has the vocal consciousness that shown as the animated counterpart.
The show ended as Lizzie and her friends prepared to graduate from Junior high. Lizzie McGuire’s revival of Disney+ was about to keep the focus on Lizzie as she turns 30 and face new problems as living in New York. After introducing the latest plot in her career as well as personal life, she will be pushed to go back to the LA for an unpredictable reason. It is not sure whether fans were again a part of a new plot of the show as a viewer as the show has been kept on hold till January. The showrunner Terri Minsky who was the part of an original show has not exited from the Disney+ show because of the problems between the creatives. Duff is now implying that the problems may indulge as Disney McGuire revival is not family-friendly sufficient for the Disney’s liking.
Lizzie McGuire Drama Imply the Bigger Problem With Disney+
The characters and crew have shooted 2 episodes of the show before Disney+ started creating problems. Till then, the cast and crew of the show remained silent. Till Duff corresponds in a comment on the current news about the member decided Disney+ series connected to Love, Simon. A show has changed the title to Love, Victor, and has decided to shift to the Hulu when Disney+ considers it not suitable for the viewers. Some of them have shown a problem with the news and blaming Disney not to want to air the series about the LGBT-centric plot. Love, Victor has professed that the show was stopped as it has an adult concept with marital issues, alcohol, and sexuality.
Duff posts to social media following the news and also shared the headline of the Love, Victor that has pulled off from the Disney+, including the comment that says “sounds familiar.” It appears as Lizzie McGuire revival has faced a similar problem, however rather moving the show to other streaming services, Disney+ has put the show on hold. It is not at all shocking as the show will be featuring more adult themes as Lizzie is not a teen anymore. This spread more light on the bigger problems with streaming service as they were advertising the new show but did not deliver when the production about to move.
It seems as Disney may be too transparent about the content restriction. However, it is actually not the case as such cases are erupting in the production and filming procedure. Disney+ may have the content standards, but it must be adequately discussed before services apply titles in advertising. It is unsure what is going to happen to Lizzie McGuire and whether they will find the latest showrunner. There are chances that series is going to follow the Love, Victor, and move to the Hulu, but fans have to remain calm and see how well the drama is going to unfolds.

Fox Planning to Buy Tubi While NBCUniversal Eyes Vudu

“Fox Might Acquire Tubi While NBC Buys Vudu”
Fox is planning to acquire the popular streaming service of AmericaTubiThe Wall Street Journal has spread the news. They have spread one more story about NBC Universal, who is planning to attain acquisition of another popular entertainment service provider, Vudu. Both of these news has created a buzz in the showbiz business as Fox and NBC Universal both are a renowned entertainment provider. After the announcement of their acquisition, the fans across the USA are excited about the forthcoming changes in Vudu and Tubi.

Tubi is renowned globally for being the only streaming site with ad-free content that comprises of more than 20,000 TV Shows alongside movies. The streaming site works with the help of more than 250 content providers that includes big names such as Lionsgate and Warner Bros. In the post-December; the service has proclaimed that they have crossed more than 25 million active users. Their one year watched time has been increased, and now it is more than 163 million hours. After collaborating with Fox, there is an estimation that the stats will enhance rapidly, and Tubi will be worth more than 500 million $ after Fox acquisition over it. Tubi provides its services in almost all parts of the US alongside Canada and Australia. The company is planning to expand its territories to parts of Europe and Mexico after the acquisition of Fox.
Vudu is a popular streaming service of the USA, and recently, it is owned and operates by Wal-Mart. Vudu provides service that grants users to purchase or rent individual shows and movies. Whereas similar to Tubi, Vudu also started an ad-free service in 2016. It has only ten years since Wal-Mart has purchased Vudu for 100 Million$, and the company has always shown interest in Vudu. Recently, Wal-Mart has stated about Vudu that it is a popular and growing streaming service alongside till now Vudu has more than 100 million users across the USA. However, the news of NBC Universal showing interest in Vudu can be real, but it would definitely be shocking if Wal-Mart agrees to sell it.
NBC Universal is also planning to launch its all-new streaming service, which is known as Peacock, and it will be arriving in the initial week of April. The streaming service will be anticipated that it would come with all new aspects alongside it would be ad-free and will be provided at least an affordable price of 5$ per month. So, the launch of Peacock and acquisition of Vudu, are quite hard to do at the same time, but The Wall Street Journal hasn’t spread any hoax news yet.
Fox and NBC Universal haven’t confirmed the news about any acquisition yet, but it is expected to become out soon. The emerging business of streaming services has led to significant competition in the showbiz market. Recently we encountered popular streaming services such as Disney Plus and Apple TV plus to have arrived. Quibi is also planning to be established soon. Then, the news of Tubi and Vudi’s acquisition has opened up our mind that there are more stunning aspects to arrive quickly in the streaming platform market.
