The manga of “My Hero Academia” is still delving into its concluding chapters, with Chapter 428 unveiling the fresh faces of Class 1-A, who are now assuming the roles once held by our brave main characters. As Izuku Midoriya, Bakugo Shoto Todoroki, and their comrades embark on their second year at U.A. High School as “Class 2-A,” they’re taken aback to discover that their triumphant fight against All For One and the League of Villains has motivated a new batch of heroes to join their ranks – even amidst the ruins of a devastated world.

Matt Reeves and Lauren LeFranc, the creators behind “The Penguin” HBO series, have announced that it will seamlessly lead into “The Batman: Part Two.” In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, they discussed how this drama set in the “The Batman” universe bridges the gap between the two films. LeFranc, who serves as showrunner for “The Penguin,” explained, “We act as a bridge connecting the two films. We’re transitioning almost directly into ‘The Batman: Part Two’ that Matt [Reeves] has planned.” Essentially, “The Penguin” series functions as the link between the big-screen installments of “The Batman.” Reeves was drawn to the opportunity to construct an intricate Batman crime world around his interpretation of The Dark Knight. With the release of “The Penguin,” fans are beginning to witness the development of this expansive universe.

The world of “The Batman” is taking off, following the massive success of the new version starring Robert Pattinson. Warner Bros. Discovery has fully committed to this fresh interpretation of the caped crusader. They’ve ordered a spin-off series about “The Penguin,” which will continue the storyline from “The Batman” and explore Gotham’s criminal underworld through Colin Farrell’s character, Oswald Cobblepot. This upcoming show will incorporate aspects of abandoned projects like “Arkham Asylum” and “Gotham PD,” which were also set in the universe of “The Batman.”

Part of what made the debut season of Apple TV+’s Silo so compelling is how it blended together themes of drama and a murder mystery into the world of sci-fi, and while that blend of tones is expected to continue in Season 2, producer Graham Yost also hinted that the reveals of the new episodes will be “really, really scary.” A key component of that tension is based on how Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette left her silo, inspiring a potential rebellion, yet what she finds outside of the silo could show the cost of such a rebellion. Silo Season 2 doesn’t yet have a release date.

Jujutsu Kaisen has seen Satoru Gojo live up to his status as one of the most popular characters of the series more times than we can count. The blindfold-wearing teacher made waves in both the latest manga chapters along with the anime’s second season. Thanks to being nigh invincible and having an infectious personality, it should come as no surprise that Gojo has remained the franchise’s most popular character in poll after poll. In a new promo to celebrate both the series and Gojo, creator Gege Akutami has shared a brand new colorful take on Yuji Itadori’s favorite teacher.

As a devoted fan of the Caped Crusader, I’m thrilled to be part of Batman’s fresh start in the DC Universe. In 2022, “The Batman” brought us an all-new experience with Robert Pattinson leading the charge, marking the first time the Dark Knight stood alone on the big screen since “The Dark Knight Rises” in 2012. With this movie, we saw a new world for Batman, untouched by other cinematic universes.
