Discussions about Batman often center on how he handles villains, especially their repeated escapes from prison. A common debate is whether Batman should kill them instead of always capturing them. However, the core of this argument often isn’t about Batman’s actions, but about the villains themselves. Many who argue Batman should kill, particularly the Joker, do so because of the Joker’s horrific crimes, not because they believe Batman is justified in taking a life. Essentially, the issue isn’t with Batman’s restraint, but with the Joker’s unrepentant villainy.

With the introduction of the multiverse, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is seeing more and more heroes emerge. It’s likely we’ll discover others who are strong enough to lift Mjolnir, the most powerful hammer in the universe. Here are five Marvel characters from before the MCU who could absolutely wield it.

Navi, the fairy companion in The Legend of Zelda, played a key role in how the game provided hints and allowed players to lock onto enemies. While she became well-known – and often joked about – for her frequent and repetitive dialogue, many players found her annoying. Despite being a source of frustration for 27 years, Navi doesn’t deserve the negativity. She’s actually essential to both how the game functions and how its story unfolds.

In the anime Dandadan, the Serpo aliens pose a significant danger to Okarun and Momo, initially kidnapping Momo which unexpectedly awakened her psychic powers. Though defeated early on, these unsettling aliens reappear as a threat later in the first season, but haven’t been seen in the most recent season. If the anime stays true to the original manga, fans can anticipate the Serpos returning in future installments. For those familiar with the Dandadan manga, the story only grows more complex and expansive. You can find some spooky New Year’s shorts available to watch below.

Despite some recent challenges with Marvel movies, Disney has still had a strong year, with three of its films ranking among the highest earners. Surprisingly, Disney’s biggest hit of 2025 isn’t a Marvel film, a live-action remake, or a new Avatar movie—it’s Zootopia 2. The sequel has already earned over $1.46 billion worldwide, breaking Disney records and proving the franchise is a major success, potentially surpassing even their most established properties.

The Doctor has gone by many names throughout his adventures. One notable alias, “John Smith,” was first suggested by companion Jamie McCrimmon in a 1968 episode called “The Wheel in Space.” The Third Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee, embraced the name while living on Earth, and even David Tennant’s Doctor used it, famously as a clue in the 2006 episode “School Reunion.” However, after using “John Smith” for years, the Doctor has now decided to go by something new.

A new game called Enchanted Wonderland was recently listed on the ESRB website, as reported by Gematsu. The game is planned for release on Nintendo Switch and will be published by Konami. While a short description of the game is available, there’s no information about a release date. This ESRB listing marks the first public announcement of Enchanted Wonderland, as Konami hasn’t officially revealed the title yet.

The Pokémon Company recently released a short video celebrating their 30th anniversary, revealing the official logo that will be used for Pokémon Day 2026. While the video mainly promotes the February 27th, 2026 celebration, some fans are hoping it hints at the possibility of older Pokémon games being remastered and released on modern platforms.

Eagle-eyed Marvel fans have spotted something interesting in the trailers for Avengers: Doomsday. When the movie’s title appears, it quickly changes into a countdown to the release date. But for just one frame during this transition, a series of numbers flashes on the screen. These numbers have puzzled fans, who are trying to figure out if they mean anything. Now, a new theory has surfaced that could explain them, and it connects to hints the Russo brothers have already given about the film.

The reluctance to embrace traditional superhero costumes was clear in the 2000 X-Men film; Fox seemed hesitant to fully commit to the look. The movie even addressed this directly with a scene where Wolverine complained about his leather suit, prompting Cyclops to jokingly ask if he’d prefer yellow spandex – a moment that came to represent Fox’s cautious approach to superhero films. Now, with Avengers: Doomsday, that hesitation is finally being overcome.
