As a huge Batman fan, I find it fascinating to learn about how the character has changed over the years. It’s easy to forget that Batman didn’t always have his famous no-kill rule! It actually showed up relatively late, in issue #4 of the original Batman comics. Back in his earliest stories, he was much more of a hard-boiled detective, heavily influenced by those old pulp noir comics, and he definitely wasn’t afraid to take a life if he felt it was necessary. But as comics became more aimed at younger readers, Batman had to evolve. He developed that strong moral code against killing, even when his own life was on the line. Still, even with that rule in place, there have been a few times in the main Batman stories where he’s… let’s just say he’s bent the rules a little.

Puppetry is a unique art form requiring incredible skill and technical work to make something lifeless seem alive.

The most recent significant update for Halo Infinite arrived in November 2025, and it was initially believed to be the final update the game would receive.

The live-action film adaptation of Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days premiered in Japan earlier this year and has been a success. Following the popularity of the anime’s first season on Netflix, the movie is also proving to be a hit. To celebrate its success and recent screenings, the creator of Sakamoto Days released a new sketch and a message for fans. You can see it below.

The open-world superhero game Undefeated: Genesis, a sequel to the free-to-play Undefeated, was originally announced in 2023. It quickly gained popularity, earning over 250,000 wishlists on Steam as players anticipated a new superhero adventure built on original characters, rather than relying on universes like DC or Marvel. Developed by Indie-us Games and Chorus Worldwide Games, the game was initially planned for a 2026 release, but has now been delayed until “early 2027.”

Disney is developing a third Hocus Pocus movie, with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy expected to return as the Sanderson sisters, according to Deadline. Talk of a sequel started in 2023 when Midler mentioned a great script had been written and that producers were working out the details. However, progress stalled after Scott Bailey, who was a key executive at Walt Disney Studios, left the company.

In a YouTube video which has since been delisted, series creator Yuji Horii confirmed:
