Adult Swim’s Toonami block is getting a new schedule starting Saturday, June 13th, to make way for the premiere of My Adventures with Superman Season 3. The new season will begin with a take on the classic DC Comics storyline, ‘Reign of the Supermen.’ This premiere will also mean some changes to the usual schedule, especially after another show finishes airing, so fans should be aware of the updates.
Growing up reading DC comics, I’ve noticed almost all the big heroes had a sidekick at some point – Batman really started it all, and most of the Justice League followed. It’s cool to see a hero ‘pay it forward,’ showing they’ve become established enough to train the next generation. But surprisingly, some heroes haven’t had a sidekick, even though it could be great for them! I’ve been thinking about which heroes would make amazing mentors, and today I want to share five who I think really should take on a young protégé. Let’s talk about potential sidekicks!
Later games built upon the combat system pioneered by Arkham City, with titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man and LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight clearly showing its influence. However, Arkham City perfected this style, turning it into something truly special. Even though most games now use a combat system similar to Dark Souls, Arkham City’s fluid, almost musical, approach to fighting and countering remains one of the best I’ve ever experienced. Fifteen years on, I still believe it has the most satisfying combat in any video game.
I recently shared the most popular Pokémon from each generation, according to fan votes. But I was curious about the opposite – which Pokémon have the smallest, most dedicated fan bases? So, I looked at data from a website tracking everyone’s favorite Pokémon to find the least popular one from each generation. If your favorite is on this list, you’re part of a rare group of fans!
The second issue of the Ben 10 comic book, originally planned for release next week on June 3rd, has been pushed back to June 10th due to unexpected problems. Dynamite Comics hasn’t shared many details about what caused the delay, but it’s not a long postponement.
Here’s what fans can expect in issue two: Ben Tennyson now has a strange alien device and is using the Omnitrix to transform into different forms, but the U.S. army is pursuing him! He’s learning how the Omnitrix works—through some tough experiences. His grandfather, Max, who has secrets of his own, and cousin Gwen are also involved in the adventure.
As a Nintendo Switch Online member, I’m so excited to share that we can all download and play the full game Ball x Pit for free! This awesome offer is available to everyone in North America and Europe, and it lasts until June 1st. It works for both my Switch and, if I ever get one, the new Switch 2!
I’ve loved watching Grogu grow! Ever since he first appeared, everyone called him ‘Baby Yoda,’ but this new movie really shows how much he’s developing. He’s getting smarter and starting to become more independent, and honestly, his Force abilities are incredible – even stronger than what we saw in The Mandalorian! It’s amazing to see him reach his potential.
After Mindhunter ended, many fans discovered Aquarius, a crime drama that originally aired on NBC before coming to Netflix. The show, set in the past, blends true events and historical figures with fictional storylines. However, Aquarius will no longer be available to stream on Netflix after June 16th.
Based on a popular Korean webcomic, the new anime series Tomb Raider King is expected to appeal to fans who enjoyed Solo Leveling. The story follows a treasure hunter on a quest for revenge. A new teaser trailer has been released, and the series is scheduled to premiere on July 8th.
Sequels are a natural fit for some movies – especially those with unresolved endings or based on ongoing book series. But sometimes, a sequel just doesn’t feel right, like when a story feels complete, a lot of time has passed since the original, or there’s no obvious way to continue the story. Fans often worry in these cases, and that happened with these three films. Surprisingly, fans were wrong to be concerned – the sequels actually turned out well.
