(Superhero Bits is a collection of stories, updates, and videos about anything and everything inspired by the comics of Marvel, DC, and more. For comic book movies, TV shows, merchandise, events, and whatever catches our eye, this is the place to find anything that falls through the cracks.)

In this edition of Superhero Bits:

• Get ready for "Marvel's Spider-Man" on PC.

• "Harley Quinn" brings back a DC favorite.

• A key member of "Black Panther" is returning for Marvel's "Blade."

• "The Flash" movie might actually get the ax.

• All that and more!

Break out the chimichangas because the Merc With a Mouth is coming back to Marvel Comics this fall with a brand new ongoing solo series. The publisher has announced that "Deadpool" #1 will hit shelves on November 2, with writers Alyssa Wong and Martin Coccolo at the helm. A logline for the new series reads as follows.

The world knows Wade Wilson is one of the top mercenary/assassins in the Marvel Universe, even if he is simultaneously the most annoying one... but he's pushing to make that recognition official as he auditions for the elite group known as the Atelier. Now, he has 48 hours to kill one of the world's most famous supervillains. Only problem? He's been kidnapped, and something... strange... is GROWING INSIDE HIM.

Unfortunately, the upcoming "Midnight Suns" video game was recently delayed, possibly into 2023. The good news is that a new comic book series inspired by the team is making its way to shelves later this year and Marvel has unveiled a new trailer that showcases some of what we can expect from the book. It appears to be on the grittier side of things for the Marvel universe. Ethan Sacks and Luigi Zagaria are heading up this one, which is due to hit shelves in September.

At long last, "Marvel's Spider-Man" video game will be arriving on PC (and the Steam Deck!) on Friday, meaning that it will no longer be a PlayStation exclusive. Those eagerly awaiting the game's arrival may want to take note of the handy graphic above from Nixxes Software, which showcases the recommended specs to run the game on PC. It includes the minimum specs, as well as specs for those who want to get the most juice out of the game. Go forth and sling those webs, gamers.

The release of Marvel's latest series on Disney+ is just around the corner, with "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" due to begin streaming later this month. So, we've got some new character posters! The above features our series lead Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters in all of her green glory. Nikki Ramos and Titania also got posters as well. Those who are interested can check those ones out on the show's official Instagram page.

Some good news has emerged regarding Marvel's upcoming "Blade" reboot, which will star Mahershala Ali in the lead role. Several reports have emerged suggesting that Ruth E. Carter, the Oscar-winning costume designer behind "Black Panther," has joined the project. Well, now her IMDB page has been updated to reflect that fact and given Carter's impressive resume, this can only be a good omen for the long-gestating reboot.

Matt Ryan has made one heck of a career out of what seemed like a short-lived thing. The actor appeared as John Constantine in NBC's "Constantine," which lasted just a single season. However, Ryan has since voiced the character in multiple animated projects in addition to reprising the role on "Legends of Tomorrow" for several seasons on The CW. Now, he's back once more, this time in the latest episode of "Harley Quinn" season 3 on HBO Max. We won't spoil how he factors into the proceedings but it appears Ryan isn't done as Constantine just yet.

Ezra Miller has had a string of highly-public and concerning issues lately, including a recent felony burglary charge, amongst many other things. That has, as a result, put Warner Bros. in a precarious situation as Miller is starring as Barry Allen in next year's "The Flash" movie, a $200 million blockbuster that has reportedly done very well in test screenings. But the actor's troubles are simply becoming too much to ignore. A new report from The Hollywood Reporter indicates that the studio is now weighing three options. First, the hope is that Miller will seek professional help, do an interview explaining things, and the movie opens as planned. Second, Miller does no press and is replaced after the film releases. Lastly, and crucially, the film could be scrapped altogether if the situation gets any worse. That would be brutal for many, many reasons, but it is not off the table. We'll see how this shakes out.

Lastly, the folks at Kotobukiya have revealed a brand new Deadpool statue that looks like it would make for quite the fine addition to any fan's collection. The impressive 1/6 scale statue comes with, amongst other bells and whistles, katanas and a stuffed unicorn. No word yet on pricing for this one but it is expected to arrive in January 2023.
