Here is a look at seven DC Comics villains who believe they are the heroes in their stories.

It’s not that Darth Vader, the Joker, and Hannibal Lecter don’t deserve their fame – they’re truly iconic villains. However, their popularity often makes us overlook other equally compelling antagonists. These supporting villains are just as complex, visually interesting, and important to their stories, despite being less well-known.

Last year saw the official start of the new DC Universe with the release of Superman, promising a thrilling lineup of movies. At the same time, Marvel is regaining momentum after a quieter period, working towards a new Avengers storyline. Here’s a ranking of the four superhero films coming out this year, from the least anticipated to the most.

The game is now expected to release later this year, possibly in October, rather than earlier. The reason for this delay isn’t clear, but it’s likely due to the game’s multiplayer focus. Like Elden Ring, the developers will probably conduct several closed and open playtests to gather feedback from players before the final launch.

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members can enjoy the popular game Dave the Diver for free until April 21st. Released in 2023, Dave the Diver uniquely blends action-adventure gameplay with restaurant management, and it quickly became a critically acclaimed hit – earning a score of 90 on Metacritic and a nomination for Best Independent Game at The Game Awards.

The John Wick movies, starring Keanu Reeves, have earned $1.1 billion worldwide, making it one of the most successful action series of all time. The latest installment, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, premiered on HBO Max on March 27th and takes place between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. This film follows Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, a skilled assassin seeking revenge for her father’s death. Ballerina is now available to stream alongside the other John Wick films, with more projects planned, including a fifth John Wick movie and a spin-off focusing on Donnie Yen’s character, Caine.

A recent addition to Street Fighter 6 through downloadable content, Alex’s character ending has sparked confusion and frustration among fans due to its unexpected and strange direction. This has led to significant backlash, and Capcom is already working on a patch to address the controversial content. This situation highlights how quickly player feedback can influence game development, and could be a notable example in the evolving relationship between game developers and their audience, demonstrating publishers’ willingness to make changes based on player response.

It’s hard to miss the decline in players for this game, especially considering the hype and strong start it had. A game’s first month is crucial for building a lasting community, and dropping out of the top 100 so soon suggests many players who tried it at launch haven’t continued playing, at least for now.

Rumors suggest a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time might arrive around the holidays for the upcoming Switch 2. This has people wondering when we’ll see the next 3D Mario game. Current reports indicate it’s planned for 2027 – ten years after Super Mario Odyssey launched with the original Switch.

Netflix announced this week that a sequel to the live-action film City Hunter is coming in 2027. The first film, released in 2024, was based on the popular City Hunter anime and manga, which originally began in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1985. This isn’t the first live-action adaptation of City Hunter; several films and TV shows have previously brought the story to life. For the sequel, Ryohei Suzukei will reprise his role as Ryo Saeba, and Misato Morita will return as his partner, Kaori Makimura. Fumiko Kimura is also back as detective Saeko Nogami, and Keiichiro Shiraki will once again direct.
