We’ve already seen it in a heavily stylized promo shot, but the CW debuted Ruby Rose’s Batwoman look in this short teaser for the upcoming series.

Don’t expect much in the way of early looks at the stories will be told. This 30-second snippet is more about setting the mood, starting with a slow pan up the side of a building, a fluttering cape, and a quick look at the iconic Bat Signal.

Then we see our hero turn and face the camera and… boom. Meet Batwoman. We don’t know when she’ll be here, but the teaser promises that she’s “coming soon.”

Say goodbye to the early versions of Bird’s e-scooter. The fleet will soon be filled with scooters built for sharing with its newest model, the Bird One, introduced Wednesday. Limited-edition versions are also available for purchase, so you can have your very own Bird e-scooter.

The Bird One offers a longer-lasting battery with a range of up to 30 miles on a single charge. Its steel-reinforced aluminum frame is supposed to be more durable and give it a longer lifespan — Bird says it’ll be four times longer than the Ninebot ES scooters currently used in Bird’s fleet, which they will no longer buy. The One will first arrive in Los Angeles and will reach other areas in the coming weeks.

The Bird One joins the Bird Zero, the model introduced last fall. Bird CEO Travis VanderZanden said in an email statement that Bird Zero lasts for an average of 10 months and is “now profitable due to its increased lifespan and battery capacity.” The One is expected to last for a full year. VanderZanden told the Verge his company breaks even if each scooter lasts for six months; the Los Angeles Times found this week that LA-area Bird scooters lasted 126 days on average — so based on that set of data, they’re not quite there … yet. 

The One isn’t just for sharing — you can buy the scooter in limited-edition colors: jet black, dove white, and electric rose. Pre-orders open Wednesday with expected delivery by the start of summer. The scooter is a cool $1,299 — Ninebot and other Segway scooters normally start at around $500 — and comes with $100 in Bird ride credit for those times you don’t want to deal with your own scooter (whenever that is). The Bird app will be connected to Bird One purchases, so you can track and digitally lock your vehicle.

Bird also offers monthly scooter rentals for $25 in San Francisco and Barcelona, which sounds like a better deal, but that’s a M365 Xiaomi model scooter, not the new One. Ad hoc rentals from the fleet in your city cost $1 to unlock and then start at 15 cents per minute of your ride. But if you really want that electric rose two-wheeler, you should start saving now.

Anne Hathaway is clearly a pretty fortunate person in a lot of respects.

Not when it comes to outfits, though.

In the interview above with Stephen Colbert, Hathaway recounts two separate incidents — one at a past Met Gala, and one literally just before she came on the show — in which her clothes have decided to split at inopportune moments.

At least she’s always managed to style it out, though.

The Royal Family has a new addition to the family! A new baby boy, welcomed on Monday by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

While we’re still waiting on a name for the bundle of joy, rumours abound about who might be named as the baby’s godparents. 

Well, George Clooney’s just thrown his hat decidedly out of the ring.

“I shouldn’t be the godfather, I’m a father of twins, I can barely do that,” he told Jimmy Kimmel. 

“I’m not gonna be the godfather, I can promise you,” he added. “I should not be anyone’s godfather.”

With the global Pokémon craze set off by Pokémon Go‘s massive success, it’s easy to forget that this is a for-kids brand. But it is. And Detective Pikachu knows it.

That’s not meant to be a knock on the movie, though some might disagree. Having Ryan Reynolds there in the starring role, bringing his genetically snarky man-voice to lovable Pikachu, sets certain expectations in this post-Deadpool world.

But Detective Pikachu has a more wholesome and kid-friendly tale to tell. It’s the story of Tim Goodman — yes that’s the character’s name, and yes it’s delightfully on the nose. He’s a young man who’s a bit of a drifter. He used to be a Pokémon trainer, but he grew up and left that phase of his life behind.

When we meet Tim, his mother’s out of the picture and his father Harry is just a few steps shy of estranged. Or was. The story opens with Tim getting the news that his dad is dead. He was a detective in Ryme City, a metropolis-meets-social experiment in human/Pokémon equality, and he was working on a big case when he died under mysterious circumstances.

So Tim heads off to set Harry’s affairs in order, but his plans hit a snag when he runs into dear old dad’s former partner, a Sherlock hat-wearing Pikachu. Only this one is different from all the other Pokémon. For most people, Pokémon can only say their species name in a cutesy voice. But Tim hears perfect English, in Reynolds’ voice, coming from his dad’s Pikachu.

The two set off to solve the mystery that the senior Goodman had been chasing. Pikachu may be able to talk, but he doesn’t remember a moment of what happened — or really, anything else. An address inside his adorable little hat brought him to Detective Goodman’s office, but it’s clear that someone has wiped his memory.

It’s a breezy story, if a little light on the character development. Justice Smith’s Tim and his relationship with Pikachu is really the heart of everything. Smith himself doesn’t get a whole lot to work with, but in the small handful of scenes that aim for your feels it’s easy to remember why he was such an electric presence in Netflix’s criminally cancelled hip hop epic, The Get Down.

He gets plenty of help from Reynolds, of course. The snark levels may be toned down, but the Deadpool star makes no effort to disguise his voice or his natural predilection for sardonic humor. Detective Pikachu sands down his edge, but Reynolds — and really, Pikachu — steal the show. He’s a delight.

The back-and-forth patter between the two stars also makes this a more approachable movie. For Pokémon fans, Detective Pikachu is a visual feast. Especially after we get to Ryme City. Every frame is wall-to-wall Pokémon — and with more than 800 to choose from, that means there’s plenty of variety.

It’s a breezy story, if a little light on the character development.

The script also does a good job of helping neophytes keep up. Even if you can’t tell a Mewtwo from a Charizard, individual scenes do the work of explaining the lore points you need to know. And with the exception of one (admittedly well-timed) exposition dump that occurs late in the movie, those explanations weave elegantly into the dialogue.

Between the central Tim/Pikachu dynamic, the world-building, and the lore onboarding, Detective Pikachu is a lot — and that comes at some cost. The cast assembled around Smith and Reynolds is barely there. 

Kathryn Newton is the strongest of the bunch. She’s Lucy Stevens, a cub reporter who was chasing a story around the movie’s central mystery when the senior Goodman died. Lucy eventually connects with Tim, and her Psyduck partner’s back-and-forth with Pikachu deliver some of the strongest laugh-out-loud moments.

But Lucy herself is fairly one-note: She’s a nervous, inexperienced intern who, over the course of the story, finds her courage and her voice. It’s not the most original or surprising arc — the same could be said for all of Detective Pikachu‘s twists, really — but she’s a likable character and Newton develops a fun chemistry with Smith.

The rest of the cast — which includes Bill Nighy as Howard Clifford, Ryme City’s primary benefactor and chief architect; Chris Geere as Clifford’s son Roger, and the head of the CNN-style news shop Lucy works for; and Ken Watanabe as a police lieutenant and an old friend of Harry’s — is largely wasted. They’re all talented performers, but their roles are so limited and one-note that it’s hard to see them as much more than set dressing.

The trailers did a great job of selling Detective Pikachu as a movie for all audiences, whether or not you love Pokémon. But really, this is one for fans and parents of fans. It’s a kid’s movie through and through, designed to make you feel good and offend no one.

That may be a little disappointing to those who were hoping for something edgier, but that’s fine. The wholesome vibes in Detective Pikachu are contagious. Reynolds checks Deadpool at the door, but his and Smith’s journey together is so endearing and honest about itself, you can’t help but smile along.
