I’ve noticed that if this series delved into every single detail of each character’s past, the story would likely go on forever. It’s not that these backstories are incomplete, but they actually create opportunities to explore those characters even more. We’ve already seen this happen with popular characters like Portgas D. Ace and Trafalgar Law, who both got their own spin-off novels. While the original author doesn’t write these novels himself, he oversees them and they’re officially published, which is a big reason why fans enjoy them so much. And honestly, I think a few other characters – including the five we’ve been discussing – deserve the same treatment.

New episodes of the animated series The Amazing Digital Circus are now available on Netflix! Episodes 5 through 7 started streaming on December 12th. The show, created by Gooseworx and produced by Glitch Productions, follows a group of people stuck in a bizarre, circus-themed virtual reality game run by an unpredictable AI named Caine. While episodes 5 and 6 were previously available on Glitch Productions’ YouTube channel, they—along with episode 7—became available on Netflix with this latest release.

Many of Batman’s enemies have attempted to change their ways, whether by seeking forgiveness or simply trying a different path. Unfortunately, these attempts often led to further punishment or even a worse fate. Beyond that, some villains, like the Joker and Mr. Freeze, were negatively impacted by questionable choices made by the comic book writers. While they aren’t heroes, here are 7 Batman villains and the worst treatment they received from DC Comics.

The Hollywood Reporter announced that Ian Tuason will direct the next Paranormal Activity movie, a project from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse. Tuason is a Canadian director known for his successful horror shorts in live-action virtual reality – they’ve gained millions of views on YouTube and were even featured at SXSW. He recently won the audience award at the Fantasia International Film Festival for his film The Undertone, which sparked a bidding war ultimately won by A24.

Here are five nods to the past we’d love to see in Resident Evil: Requiem.

The members of HUNTR/X all wear unique charms – called norigae – on their belts, earrings, and necklaces throughout the film. These charms are inspired by the decorations found on traditional Korean hanbok clothing. Character designer Euni Cho customized each norigae to reflect the individual style of each hunter, like Rumi, Zoey, and Mira.

I was excited when I first saw Ansha and the donuts – the screenshots of their stats reminded me of making Poffins in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. I hoped it would be a fun, involved side activity in Mega Dimension. Unfortunately, the donut-making feature turned out to be a disappointing and simplistic version of what it could have been, and it highlights the frustrations many fans have with recent Pokemon games.

As a huge Assassin’s Creed fan, I was really surprised not to see anything about the Black Flag remake at The Game Awards. Everyone – reporters, industry folks, even people in the know – thought we’d finally get a reveal. But Ubisoft stayed completely silent, and the same goes for the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. Honestly, with how many times this Black Flag remake has leaked, the lack of announcement feels… deliberate now. It’s starting to make me wonder what’s really going on.

We focused strictly on true horror films, excluding thrillers and science fiction, which is why titles like The Long Walk, Predator: Badlands, Predator: Killer of Killers, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, Companion, Borderline, and Bone Lake didn’t make the list. Now, let’s see where your top horror pick from 2025 ranked!

DC Comics has many incredibly powerful characters, but the Spectre often gets overlooked. Originally a detective named Jim Corrigan, he was killed and transformed into the Spirit of Vengeance. While his backstory and powers have evolved over time, the Spectre always excelled in DC’s darker, more horror-focused stories from the late 1960s and 70s. He starred in a fantastic comic series in the 1990s and has become a key force in the DC Universe’s overall cosmic structure. It’s time DC Comics gave the Spectre the attention he deserves.
