Since Tanjiro’s initial trials, the series has shown us many demons who were tragically turned against their will, victims of Muzan’s power. Even some demons who willingly accepted his help, like Akaza, Gyutaro, Daki, Doma, and Kokushibo, have become fan favorites despite their actions. However, while *Demon Slayer* has memorable villains, many others are easily forgotten. These less impactful villains may play a role in the plot, but they rarely leave a lasting impression or earn the audience’s sympathy.

While *The Boys* is popular, the franchise also includes spinoff shows that need to keep viewers engaged. *Gen V*, which focuses on a school for superheroes, is well-positioned to do just that. Here are seven characters from *Gen V* who appear to be inspired by heroes from Marvel and DC comics.

Here’s a look at the new Batman figures coming from the DC Multiverse line. Standard versions of the figures will be available for pre-order starting September 19th at 9am Pacific Time / 12pm Eastern Time at Entertainment Earth, Amazon, and Walmart. We’ll share links to the exclusive figures as soon as they’re available, but please note that the GameStop launch date is still uncertain.

Amazon’s Prime Video just gave fans a first look at its upcoming animated series, BAT-FAM, arriving in November. The show is a fun, half-hour action-comedy that follows the Batman Family as they face off against classic villains like Ra’s al Ghul and Man-Bat. You can see some initial images of the series below, and it boasts an impressive voice cast too!

Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios, recently told IGN that a third season of *Daredevil: Born Again* is officially happening. He confirmed they’ve given the go-ahead and filming will begin next year.

It’s clear Norman Osborn isn’t the real Spider-Man, and his attempt to fill in as the hero has made Peter Parker act much more aggressively. Other Spider-People in New York noticed this change and decided to investigate, leading to a confrontation. What they discover is a shocking betrayal – Norman isn’t just a part of the Spider-Family, he’s become its strongest member in a long time. In the process, Marvel has offered a fresh and relevant take on Spider-Man’s famous motto: “with great power comes great responsibility.”

Because of its continued popularity, Netflix is quickly building out the world of *Wednesday*. A third season was officially confirmed in July 2025, before the second season even aired, showing how much faith the streaming service has in the show’s future. They’re also working on a spin-off series focusing on the popular character Uncle Fester, with Fred Armisen returning to play the role. However, the almost three-year wait between the first and second seasons – partly caused by general delays in the TV industry – is part of a growing pattern of longer gaps between seasons of popular shows. So, while fans are excited for the next chapter at Nevermore Academy, Jenna Ortega will be starring in several new movies in the meantime.

Team Go Rocket regularly tries to take over the world of *Pokemon Go* – usually about once every few months, or with each new season. These events always include a new Shadow Legendary Pokemon to catch, increased Team Rocket appearances on the map, and a way to remove the frustrating ‘Frustration’ move from your Shadow Pokemon. However, there’s one part of these events that not everyone can access. Some Team Go Rocket events, like the upcoming Psychic Spectacular in September 2025, have a hidden requirement that could prevent you from completing the latest Special Research.

Please be warned: this discussion contains major spoilers for Berserk chapter 383. Since the unfortunate passing of creator Kentaro Miura, Guts has been deeply traumatized by Casca’s abduction and the fall of Elfhelm. In the aftermath, Guts is left alone in a cave where two Kushan citizens, Daiba and Silat, contemplate his fate. Daiba observes that the cave is strangely disconnected from reality, even beyond his ability to understand. He believes it holds a terrifying emptiness, stating that in complete darkness and silence, one can only confront themselves. He wonders what horrors this darkness might unleash as there is nothing to focus on but one’s own inner self.

Good news for fans of the series: Kyle is back, and he’s more powerful than ever! After being subjected to over ten years of cruel experiments by The Baron, he manages to escape into the nearby nature reserve.
