Okay, so I’m incredibly excited – David Tennant is coming back as the Tenth Doctor! Big Finish Productions is creating 15 new audio adventures, each about an hour long, and honestly, it sounds amazing. Tennant himself joked that working with Big Finish is too easy – you just show up, have fun, and somehow end up saving the universe again! The first 12 episodes will be rolling out every other month starting in the summer of 2027. And get this – the final three are going to be a special box set where the Tenth Doctor actually teams up with some of his other selves. Seriously, what’s not to love?
The massive popularity of Batman, combined with the strong identity of Bruce Wayne as the character, makes it incredibly difficult to imagine anyone else taking on the role.

The first Batman Beyond comic debuted in March 1999, and it paved the way for a significant shift in the Batman universe.

The two characters form an unexpected and heartwarming friendship, and the new poster shows them dancing – a surprising and fun image shared on the movie’s official X account.
LEGO relies heavily on its LEGO Ideas platform as part of its yearly planning. This allows fans to vote for the sets they’d like to see become reality, letting the LEGO community help decide what gets produced. Popular sets that started as LEGO Ideas submissions include the Back to the Future Time Machine and the Jaws Orca boat. Last year, the platform approved a set from a major franchise LEGO hadn’t previously covered: Godzilla. Now, LEGO Magazine may have given us our first glimpse of the LEGO version of the iconic monster.
