Power systems in anime frequently mirror the show’s central ideas. They’re often used to examine deeper questions about things like the consequences of having power, how much strength someone should have, and what it means to grow as a person.
Next summer will see the release of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl. Joining her is Jason Momoa as Lobo, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, and Emily Beecham as Alura. The film promises a unique take on the superhero genre, drawing inspiration from Westerns like John Wayne’s True Grit – the comic book it’s based on was directly inspired by that film. This means audiences can expect a story that’s a bit different from the typical superhero battle between good and evil, and it’s something to be excited about.
Beau DeMayo, who previously led the creative direction of X-Men ’97, shared on X what he had envisioned for Gambit’s storyline. He planned to feature Gambit in Season 3, adapting the ‘Age of Apocalypse’ arc where Magneto tasks him with gathering a team to locate and steal the M’Krann Crystal.
Okay, let me tell you about Dexter: Resurrection. It definitely doubled down on the over-the-top nature of the whole premise, which, honestly, after everything that happened in the original series, felt…necessary. I mean, we’re talking about a middle-aged serial killer who should have died from a gunshot wound, but thanks to some seriously strong plot armor, he’s back for another go-round. And the storyline? He infiltrates a club of fellow killers and starts taking them out. It’s completely ridiculous, and frankly, I found it kind of charming. But, and this is a big but, Resurrection just didn’t have that special something that made the original series so compelling. Something was missing.
Simu Liu, known for his role in Shang-Chi, announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Timo Tjahjanto will direct the Sleeping Dogs movie. He did so by retweeting Tjahjanto’s post, which quoted Bram Stoker’s Dracula, saying, “We’ll cross oceans of time to make this.” Fans of the Sleeping Dogs game have reason to be thrilled, as Tjahjanto’s previous film, The Night Comes For Us, a gritty Indonesian crime movie, shares a similar style and atmosphere. While it’s a different story, the visual and thematic connections suggest how Tjahjanto might approach the Sleeping Dogs adaptation. He’s even stated that The Night Comes For Us includes many references to Sleeping Dogs, even down to the costumes.
Here are the five best Hideo Kojima games.
While DC Comics aimed to simplify its complex history with Crisis on Infinite Earths, Aquaman and Atlantis were largely overlooked. That changed in 1990 with The Atlantis Chronicles, where writer Peter David updated the myths surrounding Atlantis. Although it took a few years for these changes to fully take hold, David revisited the character in 1993 with Aquaman: Time and Tide. This story reimagined Aquaman for a modern audience and launched what is considered the character’s most successful period.
Just to clarify, this list isn’t based on box office earnings, but on how good the movies are overall. A film appearing higher on the list might not have been a financial success in theaters, but it’s still among the best from the summer of 2016. Plus, great movies tend to find viewers through streaming, so it’s hard to say if a movie will eventually become profitable anyway.

The Silent Hill series saw a strong comeback with the 2024 remake of Silent Hill 2.

Now, all eyes are on Silent Hill: Townfall, which is currently anticipated to launch around 2026.
