Batman recently led the way in bringing back crossovers between DC and Marvel Comics after a gap of over twenty years, and the result was a big hit. But while some Batman crossovers are fantastic, others are… unusual. We’re taking a look at five of the strangest Batman team-ups in comic book history. Get ready, because these are some really odd pairings!
These aren’t groundbreaking films, but they succeed where many holiday movies fail – they’re original and enjoyable. There’s a little something for everyone, and they’re simply fun to watch – the kind of movies that make you think, “Now that’s a good Netflix release!” Here are four overlooked Christmas movies on the platform that are definitely worth checking out.
During a presentation at Snail Games’ Investor Day in Times Square (as reported by the Epic Games Store), studio head Stieglitz stated their current plan is to launch ARK 2 in 2028. He explained that developing ARK 2 is happening in stages, allowing them to learn and improve both the technology and gameplay. They believe this phased approach is a safer way to deliver the game they envision, rather than attempting to release a complete product immediately.
Fans around the world have been eagerly waiting for a continuation of the series, so the recent announcement has created a lot of excitement online. While specific details about the sequel are still upcoming, we should hear more next year. In addition to the new anime season, the manga will soon release its final two volumes, plus a bonus story. The manga’s author, Kusanagi Mizuho, has been sharing news about the series on her official X account. She feels good about how the manga concluded, but does have one minor regret about the ending.
It really hit me today that Strange New Worlds is wrapping up! The cast is posting about their last days on set in Toronto, and honestly, it’s a little heartbreaking. It’s a bittersweet moment for them, of course, but knowing it’s coming to an end is going to be tough for all of us fans, too.

Ever jokingly call a movie sequel “Electric Boogaloo”? You can thank the movie Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo for that! Released on December 19, 1984, it was the follow-up to the popular breakdancing film Breakin’. While Breakin’ 2 was still profitable, earning over three times its production cost, it didn’t perform as well as the original. However, it did give us a now-famous phrase we still use to describe unexpected or unnecessary sequels.
It’s common now to see updated versions of classic games, and Amazon Games recently announced a new, major Tomb Raider title at the 2025 Game Awards, along with a remastered version of the very first game in the series. Remasters are often profitable, and while they require effort and investment, they’re easier to create than entirely new games because developers start with an existing foundation. Similarly, Star Wars games consistently perform well, so a new Obi-Wan game would likely be a success as well.
You have plenty of freedom to tackle challenges how you like, and the game world rewards curiosity. But it’s a focused experience with a clear direction, not an open-ended, do-anything sandbox.
