Let’s explore the most powerful families in comic book history. While many heroes and villains come from strong lineages, these seven families stand out. We’ll focus specifically on family connections – anyone related directly or indirectly – using a central character as the starting point for each tree. These families vary in size, but they all represent incredible power. Let’s dive in and take a closer look at their histories.
As a big fan of The Batman universe, I was a little bummed to hear that both Colin Farrell’s Penguin and Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone won’t be major players in the sequel. It’s not just the next movie either – Milioti hasn’t even been contacted about a potential return for The Penguin series! Director Matt Reeves explained that they were so far along in writing the script when The Penguin aired that it didn’t really fit. But he did say he thinks she’s fantastic and was really impressed with her performance in the show, so maybe there’s still hope for her character down the line. It’s a shame though, because I really enjoyed what she brought to the world!
The recent announcement of the new Dragon Ball project, Age 1000, is incredibly exciting. The reveal trailer offers just a glimpse, featuring a character with a transformation similar to those seen in Xenoverse, and suggests this could be the game fans have always wanted. Although nothing is official yet, the look and feel of Age 1000 hint that it might be the Dragon Ball sequel the community has been eagerly anticipating.
Director Dean DeBlois announced the start of production for How to Train Your Dragon 2 on his X account (formerly Twitter). He shared a photo of himself with the film’s clapboard, marking the first day of shooting. He wrote, “Back in the saddle! Day 1 of principal photography on HTTYD2! The adventure begins.”
Bandai Namco’s new action RPG, while mechanically sound and built on the success of games like Elden Ring and the Souls series, suffers from a lack of visual appeal and a repetitive storyline.
Really understanding how a Highguard match unfolds is more crucial than any tutorial or explanation. Each match, from the initial buying phase to the final Core detonation, follows a predictable pattern of building up, increasing intensity, and then focusing on key objectives. Once you grasp this pattern, the flow of the match becomes much clearer, even if it still takes practice to play perfectly.
Kaitlyn Dever recently told Deadline she’s preparing to film more scenes for Season 3 of The Last of Us. She’ll be heading to set in a few days to begin preparations and expressed her excitement about having a larger role this season.
Although the series hasn’t officially announced its ending or when the final chapter will be released, it will likely be several months before the story concludes. The final arc, centered around Kei Uzuki, throws the country into chaos as his plan leads to societal collapse. Taro and his friends must act quickly to stop him. While the story races towards its end, Weekly Shonen Jump has already begun introducing a new series for readers to enjoy.
Video game source Nate the Hate reports that Atlus plans to release its popular RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. Metaphor, which plays similarly to Atlus’ Persona games, came out in 2024 to rave reviews, earning a 94/100 score on Metacritic and several Game of the Year nominations (and wins). Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, but this Switch 2 version would mark its first appearance on a Nintendo console.
The new series, Starfleet Academy, takes place far into the 32nd century, so distant in the Star Trek timeline that it’s difficult for many familiar characters to appear without involving time travel. However, the show has already brought back some returning faces, suggesting more could join them. This raises the question of which characters would naturally fit into this future story.
