As a devoted film enthusiast, I’ve compiled a list of characters from television and cinema that, in my opinion, could stand their ground against the formidable Superman. However, let me clarify that Goku, despite sharing some Superman-esque traits due to Akira Toriyama incorporating them into Goku’s backstory for Dragon Ball Z, was originally based on a different character. For this list, I focused solely on characters designed with Superman in mind. Here are seven Superman doppelgängers, ranked by the amount of trouble they could potentially cause The Man of Steel in a fistfight:

1. Captain Marvel (Mar-Vel) – With his Kryptonian heritage and cosmic powers, he’s no stranger to challenging the Man of Steel.
2. Superboy/Conner Kent – Half-Kryptonian, half-human, this young hero has the potential to give Superman a run for his money.
3. The Guardian (James Olsen) – As Superman’s cousin and occasional stand-in, he’s no pushover when it comes to taking on Kryptonian foes.
4. Steel – With his indestructible suit of armor, this cybernetic hero could potentially hold his own against the Man of Steel.
5. Alien (Krypto the Superdog) – Though a canine, this alien dog shares many of Superman’s powers and could prove to be a formidable opponent.
6. The Eradicator – As a Kryptonian artificial intelligence, he possesses incredible power and knowledge that might give Superman pause.
7. Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) – Though younger and less experienced than her cousin, she’s no slouch when it comes to fighting Kryptonian foes.

Initially, J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay were set to write the screenplay for Star Trek 4, and S. J. Clarkson (known for Jessica Jones and Madame Web) was appointed as director in April 2018. Unfortunately, contract discussions with Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth fell apart, signaling the first discordant note for Star Trek 4. By January 2019, the film was ultimately cancelled. Later on, Noah Hawley (creator of Legion and Fargo) became involved, while Quentin Tarantino was also working on a separate Star Trek project. However, so far, nothing substantial has been produced – despite the potential for an extraordinary film.

The game we’re discussing here goes by the name S.p.l.i.t. This creation is the brainchild of Mike Klubnika, who single-handedly developed and published it. This is his latest project; he previously released Unsorted Horror in 2020 and Buckshot Roulette in 2024. The former is free to download, while the latter retails for $2.99. Both games have garnered positive feedback, as indicated by their “Overwhelmingly Positive” ratings on Steam, the highest possible rating on that platform. It’s no wonder that S.p.l.i.t is receiving similar praise. At the moment, it boasts a 92% approval rating on Steam and an 84 on Metacritic.

Kicking off this review, let me take you back to the dawn of a fresh chapter – the SummerSlam 2022 extravaganza, the first under Triple H’s reign. The night was filled with surprises that kept us on our toes, one such being Bayley’s electrifying comeback from injury, met with thunderous cheers from the SummerSlam audience. However, she didn’t show up solo; she had a couple of other heavyweights by her side, namely Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair.

In the upcoming Campaign Four, there will be some significant differences compared to past Critical Role adventures. To start, Matt Mercer, who has been guiding the storyline since the initial Critical Role campaign, won’t be in the Game Master (GM) role this time around. While Mercer has always been at the helm for the main series, other guest GMs have appeared in various spinoffs. Now, Brennan Lee Mulligan will step into the GM position for the new Critical Role campaign.

Studio Chizu’s official account (previously known as Twitter) has recently revealed a fresh trailer for Mamoru Hosoda’s upcoming film, titled “Scarlet” or “Scarlet Without Limits“. This movie draws heavily from William Shakespeare’s play, “Hamlet”. The film is set to debut in Japanese cinemas on November 21, 2025, with a U.S. release following on December 12. Additionally, it will make its world premiere at this year’s 82nd Venice International Film Festival, taking place from August 27-September 6. This gives fans a sneak peek into the movie. The trailer has sparked some surprise among fans due to its unique animation style. Although it represents new territory for both Hosoda and his followers, the quality still appears promising, with the final cinema version expected to be even more impressive.

In general, the adaptations stayed quite faithful to the original content. Both the source material and the films share a gritty realism (meaning no one exhibits supernatural abilities and when someone perishes, they truly die), maintain a humorous atmosphere, and utilize similar or slightly adjusted character names. However, there were some significant alterations that many would find sensible. So, let’s explore what those changes were.

In the sixth season of Friends, Ross developed a romantic relationship with a student at his university named Elizabeth (played by Alexandra Holden). This relationship was brief, lasting only five episodes due to its controversial nature. Originally, writers had intended for Elizabeth to stay longer but plans changed. According to CBR in 2015, the sixth season almost ended on a cliffhanger where Ross discovers that Elizabeth is pregnant with his child. If this had happened, the storyline would have been further developed in season 7, which aired between 2000 and 2001.
