Editor’s note: Each year, IndieWire collaborates with MIT’s Comparative Media Studies Program by inviting students to reflect on Sundance’s New Frontier program.
Sundance’s New Frontiers’ team faced a new challenge in 2021: to program a body of work that grapples with contemporary issues through emerging media. In an ongoing and uncertain Covid-19 reality, what would such mediums be able to provide that other traditional platforms couldn’t? While it may have started off as a larger question on festival trends, it turned into a plethora of experiences — some VR, some computer-generated and some mobile — to highlight our own personal reckonings within a collective moment.
In Sam Green’s “7 Sounds” (or “cinema for your ears,” as it was described by an introductory video, the audience was brought into a deeper iteration of creativity through immersive spatial reckoning. What happens when you tap into archives of natural sound?...

Here's our first look DC Comic's upcoming new series Batman and The Signal. It features Batman with Duke Thomas as The Signal, who will help the Dark Knight protect Gotham City. This will be a three-issue miniseries that "follows Duke’s trials and travails in high school and as a vigilante while introducing new enemies to fight.
I have to say that when I first saw the image above without reading what it was about, the first thought to go through my head was, "What did they do to Wolverine's costume?!" The Signals costume design looks like a combination of Batman and Wolverine. It was designed by Cully Hamner, who worked on Warren Ellis' Red and co-created the third Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes. He also provided the comic art in the series.
The comic is being written by Scott Snyder and Tony Patrick. One thing is for sure,...

The announcements continue to roll out for DC Comics during several of their panels here at San Diego Comic-Con. During their Dark Nights: Metal and Dark Matter panel they announced another new ongoing series coming soon featuring Duke Thomas called Batman: The Signal and it will be written by DC Talent Workshop alum Tony Patrick.
Duke Thomas had made his debut in DC Comics New 52 Batman #21 during an arc called Zero Year where he assisted Batman. Then during the arc called Endgame, the Joker kidnapped Duke's family and used them to try and recreate Bruce Wayne's parents' murder right in front of him. Batman managed to save Duke, but Duke's parents unfortunately were lost to the Joker's gas. Later he became part of the group of Robins during the time that Bruce Wayne was gone. When DC launched Rebirth Batman had returned and offered Duke a position,...

X’ed #1
Written by Tony Patrick
Illustrated by Ayhan Hayrula
Colours by Doug Garbark
Letters by Jim Campbell
Published by Black Mask Studios
Right from the cover of X’ed #1, which is a hypnotic, striking image by Chris Visions, it becomes quite apparent that this new series from Black Mask Studios plans on messing with your head. At this point, it is fair to say that every time Black Mask Studios releases a new title that it is worth jumping on from the very beginning. We Can Never Go Home, Mayday, Space Riders, Young Terrorists, etc., have all been genuine great titles and it appears that the publisher has yet another hit on their hands.
The premise is handled quite well by the script from Tony Patrick that could have easily gone off the rails with over convoluted explanations. The plot could be summed up as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...
