Fortunately, the new *Superman* movie did better than expected at the box office, largely because people liked it and told their friends. It stayed popular in theaters for a while, though its run was shortened by the release of *Peacemaker* Season 2, and ultimately became the highest-grossing comic book film of 2025. However, some fans pointed out that *Man of Steel* actually earned more worldwide—$670.1 million compared to *Superman*’s $615.9 million. Interestingly, despite earning less, *Man of Steel* might be considered the more underwhelming success overall.

Sucker Punch Productions, a studio owned by Sony, recently launched *Ghost of Yotei* on PlayStation 5. While the game has been received positively, it hasn’t become a massive hit, and it doesn’t seem likely to match the sales of its previous game, *Ghost of Tsushima*. This leads many to believe the game’s lifespan might be limited. So, what’s next for Sucker Punch? Creating a completely new game is an option, but it’s expensive and carries a lot of risk. The studio doesn’t have many existing franchises to revisit either, with one notable exception: *Sly Cooper*.

A legal document obtained by The Game Post, related to Sony’s lawsuit against Tencent, reveals Sony’s plans for a *Horizon Zero Dawn* movie. According to PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash, Sony aims to start filming in 2026 and release the movie in 2027. He also stated that they have a completed script and are currently looking for a director. The lawsuit claims Tencent’s *Light of Motiram* unfairly copies the *Horizon* series.

Halo Studios hinted at a major announcement coming at the Halo World Championship on October 24th, but didn’t specify exactly when it would happen. Now that the full schedule for the championship is out, Halo fans know the announcement will be made at 1 PM PDT on October 24th. If you’re excited to see what Halo Studios has been up to, be sure to tune in – it sounds like a significant reveal!

However, the standout project is definitely *Peacemaker*, the HBO Max series about a flawed and often failing anti-hero. Both critics and viewers love the show, especially its willingness to explore the characters’ complex emotions. Surprisingly, *Peacemaker* overcame two significant behind-the-scenes issues that nearly stopped production altogether.

The latest trailer gives us a closer look at the main characters and their unique abilities, called Stands. The winner of this upcoming anime arc’s race will have their deepest wish granted, so viewers can expect intense battles! The cast includes Shogo Sakata (known from *Chainsaw Man*) as Johnny Joestar, Yohei Azakami (*Demon Slayer*) as Gyro Zeppeli, Kaito Ishikawa (*My Hero Academia*) as Diego Brando, Rie Takahashi (*Oshi no Ko*) as Lucy Steel, and Kenta Miyake (*JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders*) as Steven Steel. Because this story unfolds in a completely new universe, longtime *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure* fans should anticipate some significant differences.

Jon Bernthal’s version of the Punisher is set to have a major year in 2026. Fans who enjoy his complex and violent character can expect to see him appear in two new Marvel TV shows and a much-awaited movie. This will be the most projects the Punisher has been featured in during a single year, and it comes ten years after his first on-screen appearance. It’s shaping up to be a pivotal time for the character.

In older Pokémon games, quickly getting around took effort. You had to find a special move, like Fly, to revisit places easily, and even then, you often only arrived near a city and still had to walk. Recent games, such as *Pokémon Sword and Shield*, improved this with features like a Flying Taxi. However, *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* takes fast travel to the next level. It offers two convenient options for navigating Lumiose City and includes a map filled with interesting things to discover.

Batman usually manages to save the day and restore peace, but when he doesn’t, the consequences are significant. Here are five instances where Batman failed – one of which is more a failure of Bruce Wayne than Batman himself.
