Batman is consistently popular, but nearly every film featuring the character suffers from recurring problems. These issues, seen across different versions of the hero, often come from bad choices made during production, studio meddling, or simply creative decisions that don’t quite work. Over the years, these problems have led to some disappointing moments in Batman movies.

As a film buff, I was thrilled to see Chinatown back on Paramount+! This 1974 Jack Nicholson masterpiece is, in my opinion, one of the greatest noir and detective films ever made. It’s been missing from the streaming service for a while, but thankfully it returned on November 1st, giving everyone another chance to experience this truly iconic movie.

As Stranger Things approaches its final season, many viewers anticipate that several characters won’t survive. With Vecna still threatening Hawkins, Indiana, he’s unlikely to let these teenagers stop him again. Here’s a ranking of the main characters, from most to least likely to die in Season 5.

While the Final Crisis event itself is considered a strong, if challenging, story, the series leading up to it, Countdown to Final Crisis, has been widely criticized since its release. It’s often cited as one of the low points of DC Comics in recent years. Though it certainly has flaws, Countdown isn’t as bad as its reputation suggests, and it’s worth revisiting with a fresh perspective.

As a huge fan, I’ve been following Black Clover closely since Yuki Tabata moved to a quarterly release schedule. It’s been great getting new chapters every few months as we see the final battles against Lucius Zogratis unfold! But honestly, the latest update feels really rushed. It seems like Tabata is trying to cram everything in to wrap things up by next Spring, and it’s a little disappointing to see major plot points fly by so quickly.

Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has confirmed a surprising connection between Franky and the villainous Queen. A fan on X (@pewpiece) noticed the possibility that Franky was Queen’s son, and Oda confirmed it to be true. While Franky was raised by Tom after being orphaned, it’s now revealed he was one of Queen’s abandoned children. Oda himself seemed surprised when realizing this connection.

It’s exciting to see Gilligan exploring new ideas! Given his previous successes with shows like Breaking Bad – creating memorable characters like Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, and Saul Goodman – we’re eager to see what he does next. He explained that while he’s incredibly proud of Breaking Bad and its legacy, he was ready to write about a genuinely heroic character – someone striving to do good.

A new free game called Spartan Survivors is available on Steam and has been very well received, with 88% of players giving it a positive review. While it’s a *Haloinspired game, it wasn’t made by Xbox themselves. Instead, it’s the debut project of a single developer named Bathrobe, who independently developed and published the game on Steam.
