Square Enix is taking a page from the Nintendo book of Directs, as it’ll be broadcasting its first episode next week of a new showcase called “Square Enix Presents.” Taking place on March 18 and probably at an ungodly hour, there’ll be 40 minutes of content to sit through.

It’s not easy to create a character who looks and sounds so iconic, but when you’ve got the men of steel heading to the voice recording booth faster than a speeding bullet, that’s just a brilliant bit of casting.
It would be naive to say climate change is not real — or that …
