Editors Picks
BY JAMES HIBBERD | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT 'Harley Quinn' co-creator Justin Halpern claims this scene was nixed by DC, and the internet has thoughts. Batman can beat criminals to a pulp, take on supervillains and live a double life as a billionaire playboy and caped crusader … but he can’t, apparently, go downtown — not downtown Gotham City, he can, obviously, certainly go there, but he can’t go to, you know … the other downtown.

Fairness, Delivered

Foodie
By Priya Krishna | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT With a business model that doesn’t gouge restaurants, ChowNow wants to turn the tables on third-party delivery apps. Christopher Webb bristles when people call his service a "delivery company." That's because even though, yes, restaurants do use ChowNow, of which Webb is the CEO and cofounder, to operate delivery and takeout, he doesn't see the business in the same category as, say, DoorDash or Grubhub. For one thing, instead of charging restaurants commissions on every order-which often ensures that restaurants either never see a profit on a dish or else have to raise prices-ChowNow…
