It’s BBC Four’s first Icelandic drama, features scenes in both English and Scandinavian languages, and has police investigating mysterious deaths. No, the Beeb hasn’t acquired Fortitude from Sky Atlantic – it’s bought Trapped. And here’s a trailer for it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger acts his entire film career in six minutes
James Corden hasn’t been on UK TV much of late. That’s because he has his own chat show in the US, where he’s already become well known for getting his guests to do all kinds of stunts. For his first show, he got Tom Hanks to act out his entire filmography…
…and now he’s got Arnold Schwarzenegger to do the exact same thing. With his films, obviously, not Tom Hanks’.

Weekly Wonder Woman: Sensation Comics #32, Superman #40, Justice League #40, Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Three – Annual #1, Convergence – Action Comics #1
Well, it was a bumper week for Wonder Woman. Wonder Women, to be exact. As well as her regular, slightly alternative universe title Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman giving us a quick trip to the underworld to enjoy, we had a return trip to the regular DC universe of Superman to do some very scientific experiments, and we had flashbacks to numerous appearances of hers throughout the ages in Justice League. On top of that, we had a look back at how she ended up spending more than a year asleep in Injustice: Gods Among Us – Year Three: Annual #1 and saw a rare return appearance by Red Son Wonder Woman over in Convergence – Action Comics #1.
See that dot on the horizon? That’s all my cash running away towards DC’s new headquarters.
