Although there’s been no official confirmation yet, a well-known anime and manga news source on X (formerly Twitter), @MangaMoguraRE, reported that a new website domain related to the anime series has been registered. This often means an announcement is coming within the next month. We’ll learn more details about a potential anime adaptation later, but news could arrive before the end of the year. It’s rare for a series that came out over 20 years ago to get an anime, but The Drops of God is unique and deserves wider attention.

2025 has been a year of changes for Dungeons & Dragons. If you look at the new adventure books available on D&D Beyond, a clear pattern emerges. Recent releases like Dragon Delves, Heroes of the Borderlands, and Adventures in Faerun are more like collections of smaller adventures. We haven’t seen a full, traditional campaign book since Vecna: Eve of Ruin in May 2024. This move towards shorter adventure collections instead of longer campaigns has been happening for a while, and it does have some downsides. However, I’m surprisingly okay with this new approach.

HBO isn’t launching any new shows or seasons on November 9th, but it will have fresh episodes of its current original series available on both HBO and HBO Max. That includes a new installment of the horror prequel IT: Welcome to Derry, a new episode of Tim Robinson’s comedy The Chair Company, and the premiere of Rachel Sennott’s series I Love LA.

While DC Comics is famous for its most popular heroes, the company has created many other incredible characters over its nearly century-long history. Some of these heroes have faded into obscurity, but they remain fantastic. Here are seven DC heroes who deserve more recognition.

Beyond simply being overlooked, Predator 2 played a crucial role in shaping the Predator series. It arguably had as much impact on later movies as the very first Predator, and if not, it was a very close second. Let’s explore the reasons why.

Famke Janssen recently spoke with Kristian Harloff about her career, including her new Netflix series, Amsterdam Empire. Harloff asked if she’d been asked to reprise her role in Avengers: Doomsday, but Janssen confirmed she won’t be returning and wasn’t even interested in the possibility. She explained that as an executive producer on Amsterdam Empire, she has creative control and a voice in how the show is made. She doesn’t believe the filmmakers of Doomsday would want her input, stating, “I wouldn’t be asked back on Doomsday, or anywhere else, with that kind of influence. That’s not what they’re looking for from me.”

The film Night Hunter, also called Nomis, features Henry Cavill, Stanley Tucci, Ben Kingsley, and Alexandra Daddario. While the story of a police task force taking down an online predator isn’t new, they quickly realize the crimes are far more complex than anticipated. Despite a talented cast, the movie feels predictable and relies heavily on familiar crime thriller tropes. One critic noted that viewers could practically play ‘crime cliche bingo’ while watching, as the film hits many predictable beats.

Duke Thomas first appeared as a young, unnamed character connected to Bruce Wayne in Batman #21. Created by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, he represented a fresh direction for the Batman storyline. The story reveals that Duke’s family once helped Bruce Wayne after the Riddler caused a hurricane in Gotham, and Duke himself was already preparing to fight the Riddler. In Batman: Endgame, Duke and his family were kidnapped by the Joker due to their connection with Bruce. Although Batman rescued Duke, his parents were left behind after being infected by a Joker-created disease. Duke then entered foster care, and later joined a group called We Are Robin, supported by Alfred Pennyworth while Batman was away, to protect Gotham. Eventually, Bruce Wayne offered to train Duke, not as a Robin, but as a completely new type of hero.

The Alien series began with Ridley Scott’s original film in 1979, and was later joined by John McTiernan’s Predator in 1987. Although the two franchises didn’t officially meet until 2004 with Alien vs. Predator, and its 2007 sequel, those crossover films introduced storylines and changes that many fans disliked. The Alien series has since moved away from those films, and later Predator movies have also ignored them. However, it looks like we might finally get the crossover fans have been hoping for in the near future.

Nintendo and Sega have revealed that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will be available on the Switch 2 starting December 4th, 2025. While it’s coming to Switch 2 a few months after its release on other systems, fans will appreciate having it just in time for the holidays, especially on a console expected to be very popular this year.
