Gus the Emperor Penguin Begins Journey Home After Australian Adventure

An emperor penguin, named Gus, was released back into the Southern Ocean after being found on a beach in Denmark, Australia, 3,500 kilometers from Antarctica. Gus, the only known penguin to swim from Antarctica to Australia, was undernourished but gained weight under the care of wildlife caregiver Carol Biddulph. The release was time-sensitive due to the approaching Southern Hemisphere summer, which is crucial for the penguin's ability to thermoregulate.

James Gunn Confirms Batman Arkham Series as Part of DCU, Excludes 'The Batman' and 'Penguin'

James Gunn has clarified that Matt Reeves' upcoming Arkham series will be part of the DCU, while "The Batman" and the Penguin series will not. The confusion arises from the fact that the end of "The Batman" introduces characters like Riddler and Joker who will not be part of the Arkham show. The DCU's first Batman story will focus on Bruce and his son Damian, but no details about the villains have been revealed. Gunn's DCU plans also include characters from the DCEU, such as Peacemaker and Amanda Waller, despite their previous projects not being canon in the DCU.
