LEGO's got some sweet sets on the way, all part of a new sort of under-brand branding: Powered Up! You won't necessarily find a "Powered Up" or "Powered Up Platform" logo on every radical new set - instead, there'll be a mix of sorts. Every one of these sets coming later this year (and beyond) will be able to be controlled with its own unique app - or the already existing app for LEGO Boost!

Wonder Woman 2 is officially on the books and dated - just as the first film passed Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 this past weekend. This next film will be released after the next installment in the DC Comics superhero universe (aka DC Extended Universe) - that'll take its next form in Justice League, a film that'll be released around the world on November 17th, 2017. Gal Gadot will return as Wonder Woman in Justice League first, then again in Wonder Woman 2 (or whatever it'll be called) soon thereafter.
Marvel isn't the only comics giant dominating this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con with news, DC and Warner Bros. are there with their own announcements about the DC Extended Universe. The key focus, of course, is the upcoming Justice League movie, and that means a new trailer for the superhero team-up was unveiled, featuring none other than Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg.
The moment DC fans have been waiting for has arrived, as Warner Bros. have released the first full trailer for the upcoming Justice League movie. Just as Marvel's Avengers did, the film brings together some of the comic book world's most iconic heroes, including Batman and Wonder Woman. Best of all, despite being directed by Zack Snyder, Justice League appears to have a much more fun and lighter tone, almost making up for the dreary and disappointing Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
