Batman usually manages to save the day and restore peace, but when he doesn’t, the consequences are significant. Here are five instances where Batman failed – one of which is more a failure of Bruce Wayne than Batman himself.
In older Pokémon games, quickly getting around took effort. You had to find a special move, like Fly, to revisit places easily, and even then, you often only arrived near a city and still had to walk. Recent games, such as *Pokémon Sword and Shield*, improved this with features like a Flying Taxi. However, *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* takes fast travel to the next level. It offers two convenient options for navigating Lumiose City and includes a map filled with interesting things to discover.
For the first time, these young Avengers are teaming up on Disney Junior, setting the stage for more adventures with this new generation of heroes. Fans can look forward to new episodes of both *Spidey* and *Iron Man*, and a complete Avengers TV series is planned for 2027. Check out a sneak peek from the new special below!
Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel’s streaming, TV, and animation, recently told Brandon Davis on the *Phase Hero* podcast that Jessica Jones could return to the MCU surprisingly quickly, potentially after the second season of *Daredevil: Born Again*. Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones in May 2025, marking her first appearance in seven years since the Netflix *Jessica Jones* series. With Jessica Jones and Daredevil (Charlie Cox) teaming up again after such a long break, fans are speculating about a possible reunion of the Defenders team.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe often simplifies the Hulk’s character, showing little of Bruce Banner’s struggle to control his transformations and often treating it as a comedic element. While there’s speculation that the upcoming *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* might revisit the classic, powerful Hulk, the comics are already taking the character in a surprising new direction. Marvel has recently made a major change to the Hulk’s story: the villainous Eldest has become the new Hulk, leaving Bruce Banner powerless and tasked with finding a way to defeat her.
I’m so excited for *The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror XXXVI*! It looks like they’re having fun with some awesome movies this year – I’m getting major *The Stuff*, *Mad Max: Fury Road*, and *Late Night With the Devil* vibes! And get this – the new poster shows the whole Simpson family as action figures! The show’s always been great at reinventing itself with crazy new animation styles for these Halloween specials, and I’m really curious to see what kind of story they’re telling with this action figure twist. It airs this Sunday, October 19th, and I can’t wait!
Most shows that stay on the air for a long time eventually reach a point where they start to decline significantly. These moments, often called “jumping the shark,” happen when the show introduces storylines that don’t make sense with what came before, changes characters in unbelievable ways, and ultimately disappoints fans to the point of no return.
Okay, so it’s official! The Dragon Ball video game team just announced on X (formerly Twitter) that they’re revealing a brand new game in January. I’m super hyped!
