#No Way Home Broke The Internet & More

(Superhero Bits is a collection of stories, updates, and videos about anything and everything inspired by the comics of Marvel, DC, and more. For comic book movies, TV shows, merchandise, events, and whatever catches our eye, this is the place to find anything that falls through the cracks.)

In this edition of Superhero Bits:

As reported by the folks at Eurogamer, Dimensional Ink Studios, the company behind the long-running and popular “DC Universe Online” game, is developing a Marvel video game. The news came as part of a recent investor presentation, with the studio’s parent company Enad Global 7 revealing that they are working on a “Marvel IP based massively multiplayer online game.” So we’re getting a new Marvel MMO, we know that much. Unfortunately, other information is slim for the time being but Jack Emmert is said to be spearheading development. The game is not expected until at least 2023. We’ll keep you posted.

You guys remember that “Swamp Thing” show that everyone seemed to love but only lasted one season for various frustrating reasons? Well, it appears the show, or at least the character, might live on in the Arrowverse in some fashion. Recently, “Batwoman” decided to slip in a name-drop for the character, as we can see above. Does this mean that the character is going to appear somewhere else in the Arrowverse? Or was it merely a fun little Easter egg? Time will tell, though it is worth noting that The CW picked up the rights to the show and aired it last summer when programming was a bit thin due to the pandemic production issues. Make of it what you will for now.

To go along with the release of the first two episodes of “Hawkeye” on Disney+, Marvel released a new featurette that focuses on the legacy of Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton in the MCU. It’s appropriate given that Clint was one of the original six Avengers and yet, it has taken nearly a decade for him to get a solo project. Better late than never though.

The good news? “Spider-Man: No Way Home” tickets are now on sale, with the movie officially set to release on December 17. But there are many preview screenings on Thursday, December 16, and that helped create a frenzy the likes of which we have not seen in quite some time when tickets went on sale late Sunday night for “Spider-Monday.” There were reports of ticketing sites crashing running rampant on social media, and I myself had an extremely difficult time securing seats for opening night. Just how bad did it get? As we can see in the tweet above, tickets are now being listed on eBay for ungodly markups (and you’d have to be stupid to pay that for a movie everyone will easily be able to see on opening weekend). Good luck out there, everyone.
