Although the company hasn’t officially commented, journalist Jason Schreier from Bloomberg reported details from a recent internal meeting led by Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios.
FX has greenlit a new series called Very Young Frankenstein, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The show, which has been in the works for a year, will feature Zach Galifianakis, Dolly Wells, and Spencer House in leading roles. Kumail Nanjiani, Nikki Crawford, and Cary Elwes will also appear. Taika Waititi will direct the first episode and serve as an executive producer, while Stefani Robinson is writing the pilot and will also executive produce.
Season two of the animated Batman series, Batwheels, is now available on Netflix. It joins season one on the streaming service, and arrives just before new episodes premiere on HBO Max on May 22nd. The show, featuring Ethan Hawke as the voice of Batman, is different from most Batman stories because it focuses on the vehicles used by the Bat-Family, but it’s a fun watch for any Batman enthusiast.
The anime’s success comes from its clever combination of Rakugo, a traditional Japanese storytelling art, with the familiar energy of shonen anime. While it seemed unlikely that Rakugo could fit into a shonen framework, the show proves it can create a fresh take on the sports-anime genre. Initially, however, the anime’s strong focus on Japanese culture presented a challenge for Western viewers, as subtitles sometimes missed the subtle details and cultural references within the Rakugo performances. Fortunately, a recent update on Netflix appears to have resolved this issue.
As a PlayStation fan, I’m relieved to hear that Sony is only raising the prices on their one and three-month subscriptions. The good news is, they aren’t touching the price of the annual subscription, which is what I always get!

Even though Superman is incredibly powerful, he’s been defeated – and even killed – by certain villains. Not all defeats are the same; sometimes he barely loses, but other times the outcome is total. These seven DC villains have proven Superman isn’t unbeatable, managing to destroy him in battle.
The Enterprise, at its core, has always had the same basic design: a saucer section, warp drive, nacelles, and weapons. While details have changed over the years since its first appearance in 1966, the fundamental structure has remained consistent. This makes ranking the different versions largely a matter of personal preference. If we were only considering things like power or combat effectiveness, the ships would simply be ranked by when they were launched – a straightforward, if uninteresting, approach. Each update naturally incorporated new technology and reflected the evolving needs of the Federation’s flagship. Therefore, a meaningful ranking needs to focus on more subjective qualities – how cool they look, their overall aesthetic, and the feeling they evoke. Those are the elements that truly define a ship’s quality.
While many key figures from Batman’s past have been featured, one important story has been missing: a complete collection of Batgirl’s adventures. That’s about to change! Writer Scott Snyder recently announced on the ComicPop Returns YouTube channel that the definitive Batgirl, Cassandra Cain, will soon be included in the Absolute Universe. The big question now isn’t if she’ll appear, but where her story will begin.
After a long run, Outlander has reached its series finale, and it seemed to recognize the weight of expectation. While the season wasn’t perfect and didn’t fully explore the central couple’s journey, the ending itself was beautifully done and stayed true to the spirit of the show, which began back in 2014. The finale’s ambiguity might have left some viewers puzzled, as it doesn’t spell everything out. However, that confusion is intentional and actually fits with the show’s science fiction roots. Let’s take a closer look at what happened.
