Most people know the basics about Superman, but even dedicated fans might be surprised by some lesser-known facts and trivia. These details go beyond the common knowledge and sometimes venture into the strange or unusually specific. Here are seven unbelievable—but true—facts about the Man of Steel.
With five Infinity Stones in hand, Thanos moves to defeat the remaining Avengers, but Steve Rogers stands in his way. What happens next isn’t about magic or powerful weapons; it’s a simple, determined man—though a very strong one—facing off against the most frightening being in the universe.
This storyline, which originally appeared as four chapters in the manga and the 2013 film *Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods*, was later expanded to 14 episodes in the anime series with added content. The incredibly powerful god Beerus easily defeated Goku and his friends at first, but he eventually became an ally and a fan favorite. True to his status as a god who has lived forever, Beerus caused plenty of chaos throughout his life. One of his past deeds created a convenient plot twist, and the scene itself is quite humorous.
Although *Absolute Batman* is a solid comic that explores the Batman story in interesting ways, it’s not addressing a key issue. Despite significant changes to Bruce Wayne’s background and a fresh take on the character, the comic also reinforces a tired, familiar pattern that Batman has been caught in for years. Ultimately, *Absolute Batman* is another dark and gritty Batman story that depends on bleakness instead of taking risks and truly reinventing the character for DC Comics.
From now until October 23rd, Xbox players on all consoles can get *The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters* for just 94 cents. While it might not be the most famous horror game on Xbox, it’s a great deal – most games cost more than a dollar! Plus, reviews suggest *The Coma 2* is well worth the small price.
Michael Waldron has quickly become a key figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, known for his successful work on the first season of *Loki* and the film *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*. He’s currently co-writing the screenplays for the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* and *Secret Wars* with Stephen McFeely. While appearing on The Playlist’s *Bingeworthy Podcast*, Waldron – who is a fan of Marvel comics – was asked if he’d like to include his *Chad Powers* colleague in a future MCU project, and he mentioned a particularly fitting cosmic character.
I’ve always been impressed by the BBC’s consistently high-quality shows, both entertaining and educational. But when it comes to period dramas, they truly stand alone – nothing else quite compares! I recently found myself thinking about *The Musketeers*, a show that premiered back in January 2014 (July 2024 in the US, and later in 2014 elsewhere), and it struck me how often it gets overlooked. It ran for three seasons, wrapping up in August 2016, and it’s still available on Hulu. Nine years later, I think it’s the perfect time to rediscover this fantastic, yet surprisingly underrated, series.
Streamer shenAndygans posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) showing a disturbing incident at TwitchCon. The video captures a man aggressively approaching Emiru, tightly hugging her, and attempting to kiss her. Emiru’s personal bodyguard quickly intervened, physically removing the man and pushing him away, before he disappeared back into the crowd.
The actress, known for her role in *Dead to Me*, recently created a new social media account to connect with her followers and friends, and she said it still feels a little strange to her.
The initial Star Wars films released by Disney largely continued the tradition started by George Lucas, focusing on relatively unknown actors. Daisy Ridley hadn’t led a major film before *The Force Awakens*, and John Boyega was best known for the indie hit *Attack the Block* before playing Finn. Even established actors like Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver weren’t household names when they joined the sequel trilogy. While using newcomers has historically worked well for Star Wars, director Shawn Levy is taking a different approach with his upcoming film, *Star Wars: Starfighter*, featuring well-known stars Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams. This is a significant change, but many believe it’s exactly what the franchise needs at this moment.
