Issue #15 of Absolute Wonder Woman marked the first team-up between characters from the Absolute line, pairing Wonder Woman with Batman to investigate a series of murders connected to the goddess Hecate. This story is a thrilling adventure that highlights the heroes’ contrasting styles and demonstrates how vital they both are. More importantly, it reveals a key difference between the Absolute Universe and the main DC Universe: while Superman is the central figure in the Prime Universe, Wonder Woman holds that position in the Absolute Universe, and this issue powerfully confirms it.

In 2006, Elijah Wood provided the voice for Mumble, a charming tap-dancing penguin, in the musical comedy Happy Feet, directed by George Miller. The film follows Mumble, a penguin who can’t sing but is a talented tap dancer. Featuring a star-studded cast including Robin Williams, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, and Steve Irwin, Happy Feet will no longer be available on HBO Max after December 31st.

Recently, the stage production of Gachiakuta released a statement addressing concerns about racism. The production team explained that some characters – including Corvus, Semiu, and Jabber – were portrayed by actors of different races. In a statement released on December 26th, they clarified that the production has no intention of discrimination and aims to respect the original manga’s story. They confirmed they checked with the original author to see if the characters’ nationalities or racial backgrounds were specifically defined in the source material.

When Nintendo first released the Nintendo Entertainment System, they offered several packages. One of the most appealing included R.O.B., or Robotic Operating Buddy – a real robot meant to help players in games. While R.O.B. seemed like a smart idea and was certainly eye-catching, it didn’t actually work very well. It only functioned with two games, and even then, it was often unreliable. Though gamers were ultimately disappointed with R.O.B., it was a huge success for Nintendo’s marketing, effectively encouraging people to buy the NES.

Despite the Joker’s enduring popularity, his character has become surprisingly bleak and over-the-top. This is especially evident in his fight with Red Hood, as depicted in the DC K.O.: Red Hood vs. The Joker comic. Part of the DC K.O. event, the story features a brutal, three-round battle to the death, which the Joker ultimately wins – and in a particularly disturbing manner. This victory feels unearned and unfortunately highlights the problems with how the Joker is portrayed today.

After a six-year wait, expectations for the new season of One-Punch Man were fairly low – fans just wanted a good adaptation. The director’s communication with fans beforehand suggested it would be an improvement over the second season, but as episodes released, it became clear the quality was actually worse. With only one episode left, fans are worried about the anime’s future. Netflix has indicated the series will continue with the same studio, J.C. Staff, despite the negative reception.

2026 is no exception, so here are just 10 horror games players should look forward to next year.

Over time, opinions on the film have become increasingly divided, much like opinions on everything related to Star Wars. Its flaws have become more noticeable with repeated viewings – it’s often criticized for being too similar to the original film. This, combined with the strong disagreements surrounding the sequel trilogy, the controversy over The Last Jedi, and the disappointing conclusion of The Rise of Skywalker, ultimately casts a negative light on the entire work.
