Review – Absolute Batman #10: Locked in Ark M
Absolute Batman #10 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: Scott Snyder has been writing DC Comics for so long that it's hard to remember that he used to be very well-known as a hard-boiled horror writer. So he likes to remind us occasionally – Severed, Night of the Ghoul, and Dark Spaces: Dungeon are some of the most disturbing comics I've ever read. But it's even more surprising when it works its way into the main comics – and as disturbing as Arkham Asylum is in the main comics, it's nothing compared to what awaits us in Ark M. Batman broke into the compound in search of his friend Waylon, but found something else entirely – Bane, hulked-up beyond imagination and lusting for a fight. Bruce lost – in terrible fashion – and now finds himself locked up as one of Ark M's many captives and subjects. As the days tick away, Martha Wayne becomes increasingly determined to find her son, seeking help around the city – but few people are interested in the story of a missing blue-collar man. Trapped. Via DC Comics. Bruce's part of the issue is one of the most harrowing things I've ever read in a DC comic, as the mysterious Dr. Arkham oversees Bruce's many escape attempts, brutal beatings at Bane's hands, and his slow recovery. With each escape, Bruce penetrates a little deeper into the compound, getting closer to information about Waylon's fate – and discovers one horror after another. The floors and the walls here even hold horrific secrets. Bane continues to be a haunting beast of a man, one whose sheer brutality seems almost mechanical. The reveal of what's become of Waylon feels inevitable – but also is revealed in a way that still packs a big punch. What surprised me is how far Bruce goes to escape – and how he's transformed by his time locked up. This issue is packed with disturbing visuals that could probably never happen in the main line, and the tension is through the roof throughout.

Video: Owner Shares ‘Favorite Moments' Since Adopting Senior Golden Retriever
Sometimes, you just know when something (or someone) is meant to be a part of your life. For one woman, that moment came during an ordinary lunch break when she couldn't stop staring at the photo of a senior Golden Retriever who was up for adoption on a shelter's website. That senior dog was Bruce. What followed was a life-changing decision. Nine months later, she's celebrating that choice with a heartfelt video of their favorite shared moments since the adoption. Bruce has now spent nine full months in the care of his loving new owner. To mark the milestone, his mom shared a touching video on Instagram, showing nine of her favorite moments since the adoption of the senior Golden Retriever. From small victories to life-changing breakthroughs, each clip in the video tells a part of Bruce's journey from being an uncertain shelter dog to becoming a beloved family member. The first moment shows the senior dog playing with his plush toy, an early sign that he was starting to feel safe enough to engage with his new surroundings. The next clip documents a big health win when Bruce tested negative for heartworms. Another highlight was the first time the senior Golden Retriever rolled onto his back after adoption. This was a small act that signaled growing trust and comfort. His owner also celebrated the first time he managed to walk up and down stairs. While this task may seem ordinary, it marked major progress for the senior pup. The video also includes sweet milestones like Bruce's first Christmas, the first time he ran freely, and discovering his love for pup cups. One of the most emotional moments featured is when the senior Golden Retriever finally overcame his fear of walking around the neighborhood. Finally, perhaps her most cherished memory was watching him fall in love with both his moms. In the caption, his owner writes about the day she first saw his photo online. The pet parent couldn't stop thinking about him. She visited the Humane Fort Wayne shelter during her lunch break and walked out with him just hours later. Since then, she says, Bruce has taught her about love, patience, bravery, and healing. She hopes that his memories of a tough past have been replaced with ones full of joy, safety, and family.

Mind-Blowing Facts From The 'Jaws @ 50' Doc
Fifty years ago, THE summer blockbuster and horrifying thriller Jaws broke the surface and was released to the world. This month, National Geographic released the documentary special Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, giving us an inside look at the film's plagued production that nearly sank the whole project. Here are 23 incredible facts I learned while watching Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story: Director Steven Spielberg thought Jaws would end his career because he was running behind schedule, and he believed no one would ever want to hire him again. Speilberg had no idea what Peter Benchley's "Jaws" was, but when he read it, he fell in love with it, calling the story about the "Leviathan of the sea." Author Peter Benchley caught sharks in Nantucket, which helped inspire the story. But the real question that got his gears turning was asking himself, "What would it be like if a shark stayed in one place?" It took months for Benchley to come up with a title for the book, which included "Terror of the Deep," "Great White," "Leviathan Rising," and many more. Everyone involved was pleased with the word "Jaws," which ultimately became the title. Carl Gottlieb plays the role of reporter "Harry" Meadows in Jaws, and Gottlieb is actually one of the co-writers for the film's screenplay. Joe Alves, who designed the shark, created full-size drawings that had varying sizes of the shark, including a 32-foot shark. Spielberg believed the 32-foot design was pushing it to the point of being too unrealistic and borderline science fiction, so he opted for the 26-foot size, as it was intimidating enough yet also realistic. Speilberg started calling the mechanical shark "Bruce" after his attorney Bruce M. Reimer, but soon after, people working on the shark started calling it "Bruce." It spread like wildfire, and soon the whole world named the great beast "Bruce." Real great white footage was used in the film by intercutting the real footage with the mechanical shark. Spielberg basically asked them to capture what they could from the wild animal, and he would work around it. George Lucas told Spielberg Jaws would be the most successful movie ever made and that it was "obviously" going to be a big hit after he saw the construction of the shark. The original script featured the shark in the opening scene, but the mechanical shark was getting repaired at the time, so Spielberg believed the unseen was much scarier. The effect was also used via ropes jerking her around, making her look like the shark is dragging her, powerless in the water. Only eight people from Hollywood are part of the cast. Meaning a lot of the actors outside of the core are locals from Martha's Vineyard. This gives the movie a more "real" feel, and less like actors on a set. During the death of the little boy Alex Kitner, played by Jeffrey Voorhees, two guys are lifting Voorhees up and down in the water while a blood "cannon" is going off to emulate the shark attack. Benchley's favorite review of Jaws was from Fidel Castro, who said Jaws ("Tiburon" in Spanish) was a "marvelous metaphor about the corruption of capitalism." During the filming of one of the beach panic scenes, a real shark was spotted nearby. Although far enough away, it still shows the legitimate dangers of the waters There was a cut sequence where the man attacked by the shark drags Michael Brody while the "mid-eaten" man is in the shark's mouth. Spielberg cut it and other sequences that felt a little over-the-top, particularly in terms of shark attacks. About 80% of the time, the shark didn't work, due to saltwater messing with the hydraulics. It even came out the wrong way the first time, tail first. Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw sparred a lot on set, much like their characters, and although it worked for the playful banter in the final product, the two men legitimately didn't get along. The night scene in the boat's cabin is Spielberg's favorite scene, and he says he could, objectively, "watch it over and over again." Mention of the USS Indianapolis incident was not included in the book and was added by screenwriter Howard Sackler to motivate the character of Quint. Spielberg had never heard of the incident, but luckily for Sackler's Naval background, the very real story helped build the monologue. Shaw revised the speech slightly to make it more engaging. The "cage attack" scene was shot entirely in a water tank at MGM. Other moments with the mechanical shark, which filmmakers used as inserts, were also filmed in a Hollywood tank, such as the bullets going through the water as the shark passes. Composer John Williams sought a relentless score to characterize the shark and its relentless drive. If you wanted to see the real Bruce up close, the last remaining full-scale mechanical shark can be found on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. And lastly, Spielberg admits he, too, would have voted for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest over Jaws for Best Picture. in 1975. Watch Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story on Hulu.

Indian Couple Caught Littering Roadside In Canada, Internet Calls It Unacceptable
Last Updated: The footage showed the couple pulling large polybags from their vehicle and disposing of the waste on the roadside one after the other. Indians have once again found themselves under scrutiny after a rather questionable video of a couple is circulating on social media. The clip, stirring widespread criticism, showed a couple dumping their garbage at a roadside allegedly in Canada. Though the nationality of the individuals remains unconfirmed, the video's caption explicitly blamed 'Indians' and how they have already 'destroyed India.' The footage, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows a couple pulling large polybags from their vehicle and disposing of the waste on the roadside one after the other. Interestingly, the pair did not discard the bags themselves but returned them to the car after dumping the contents. The questionable incident quickly triggered an online discussion around the lack of civic sense and public behaviour among Indians. They've destroyed India. We can't let them destroy Canada next. — Bruce (@bruce_barrett) July 13, 2025 The now-viral video has received sharp backlash online. A majority of users expressed their embarrassment and frustration over the incident. Some users accused the couple of reflecting poorly on Indians and polluting Canada, while others defended them, suggesting they might have been feeding wildlife. A few also suggested using the duo's car plate number to locate them and punish them. An account wrote, 'Blaming an entire nation for littering is unfair and unhelpful. Cleanliness is about civic responsibility, not nationality. Yes, some people lack civic sense, and Indians are also tired of them." 'They might have been throwing food for wildlife and took the bags back. Please don't generalise," an individual defended. Others warned users from jumping to conclusions about the couple's nationality. 'What's the proof that they're Indians? They could be Pakistani, Bangladeshi, or Nepalese. They look exactly like us, but you don't have any proof that they are Indians," argued another. Another asked, 'Could they be feeding birds or animals? Or perhaps offering flowers after a ritual? Does anyone know the area and what exists at that spot? Because they didn't throw the plastic bags—they kept them." 'It's unacceptable. However, the person filming this is as guilty as them for not saying anything and making them pick up the trash again. Let's be real. It's a problem, but let's call out those who are not part of the solution either," said an X user. The identity of the couple remains unclear. Authorities have yet to confirm if any investigation has been launched based on the video. However, it is to be noted that Canada has strict laws on illegal dumping. Individuals found guilty can face fines starting from $1,000 to $1 million (approximately Rs 85,000 to Rs 8 crore) and can even face imprisonment depending on the severity of the offence. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Couple Filmed Discarding Waste On Canada Roadside Sparks Outrage: "They've Destroyed India"
A video allegedly showing a couple dumping trash on a Canadian roadside has gone viral, sparking heated online debate and racial backlash. In the video, the couple can be seen throwing stuff from plastic bags on a quiet, wooded roadside area in Canada. Many online users believe the couple is of Indian origin, sparking a wave of racial criticism on social media directed towards Indians. The contents of the bags are also unclear, but online users are speculating that the couple was dumping trash. The user who posted the video, Bruce, captioned it with a comment that sparked controversy: "They've destroyed India. We can't let them destroy Canada next." Watch the video here: They've destroyed India. We can't let them destroy Canada next. — Bruce (@bruce_barrett) July 13, 2025 The video sparked widespread criticism, with some users accusing the couple of reflecting poorly on Indians. Many expressed outrage and disappointment, condemning the couple for polluting Canada, while others defended them, suggesting they might have been feeding wildlife. Some said that there was no definitive indication that the couple was of Indian nationality. One user said, "Are they mad? Why can't they throw the same in a dustbin? Someone should catch them and hand them over to the police; they should not leave unless they pay heavy penalty.'' A second commented, "They might have been throwing food for some wildlife and took the plastic bags back with them. Please don't generalise. Also, read about how much they contribute to the Canadian economy." A third stated, "Blaming an entire nation for littering is unfair and unhelpful. Cleanliness is about civic responsibility, not nationality. Yes, some people lack civic sense, and Indians are also tired of them." A fourth added, "What's the proof that they are indians? They could be Pakistanis, Bangladeshi and Nepalese; they look exactly like us, but you don't have any proof that they are Indians. I really don't care who they are, but if they are Indian,s put them behind bars or fine them heavily because they are destroying my country's name." A fifth wrote, "Could they be feeding birds or some wild animal? Could it be bread or something similar? Or perhaps flowers for a ritual? Does anyone know the area and what exists at that spot? Because they didn't throw the plastic bags — they kept them." In Canada, illegal dumping can result in fines up to $150,000 and even imprisonment. Residents can report incidents to municipal authorities or hotlines.
