The characters from the Noir Universe are frequently updated to be more realistic and complex, and often lose their original superpowers in the process. However, many strong, thoughtful heroes still exist who would feel perfectly at home in the shadowy, mysterious world of 1930s detectives and gangsters.
The classic game Backyard Baseball is making a comeback with a brand new, fully 3D version! The introduction shows the game moving into a new visual style.
In my opinion, the best episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer – and one of the greatest hours of television ever – is Season 5, Episode 16, “The Body,” which originally aired on February 27, 2001. The episode begins with Buffy discovering her mother, Joyce, has died unexpectedly on the couch. What makes this episode so powerful is that, unlike previous deaths on the show, there’s no supernatural villain to fight – it’s a simple, heartbreaking human loss.
The legal drama Franklin & Bash, starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer, will be removed from Netflix on March 1st. The show, which follows the adventures of unconventional lawyers and friends Peter Bash and Elmo Franklin, quickly became popular when it started streaming on Netflix in September. Franklin & Bash originally ran for four seasons on TNT from 2011 to 2014, and focused on the duo’s often outrageous methods as they shook things up at a traditional Los Angeles law firm. Created by Kevin Falls and Bill Chais, all 40 episodes will soon no longer be available on the platform.
Superhero comics often surprise us, and some moments are truly shocking. Looking back at the X-Men’s history, many character deaths came as complete surprises, leaving fans stunned. These ten deaths, in particular, became legendary because of how unexpected they were.
For a long time, it seemed like the Scream movies would remain a classic trilogy, cherished by horror fans. However, Scream has become much more popular than anyone expected. There are now seven films in the series, surpassing the number of installments in other famous slasher franchises like Candyman and Psycho, and equaling the original Chucky series. With so many Scream movies available, it begs the question: how do they all compare?
Mark Cerny, a designer for the PS5 Pro, announced on the PlayStation Blog that a new system update will be rolling out worldwide in the coming weeks.

I just saw the coolest featurette on ComicBook about Christian Bale preparing for his role in The Bride! He shared how he really got into the character’s head, and it’s fascinating. Apparently, a big primal scream was a key part of his process! What’s even more amazing is that it wasn’t just a one-time thing for him – the whole cast and crew started doing it too! You absolutely have to check out the video; it’s really something.
This list features 10 of the most popular TV shows from the 1980s, the ones many kids growing up then will instantly recognize. These shows either began as ‘first-run syndication’ – created specifically for distribution to local stations – or they started on major networks before finding even greater success in syndication after being cancelled. We’re focusing on shows that were primarily on air from the late 1970s through the end of the 1980s, so some well-known series like Forever Knight, Baywatch, and Xena: Warrior Princess aren’t included because they premiered in the 1990s – another strong decade for syndicated television, especially in its early years.
Twenty years ago today, on February 27, 2006, Princess Peach finally took center stage in her own full-length adventure with Super Princess Peach. Unlike most Mario games, this one put Peach in the role of rescuer, tasking her with saving Mario and Luigi from Bowser. Though the game wasn’t perfect, it has a lot of appealing qualities, especially looking back – which makes it disappointing that Peach hasn’t had more opportunities to be the hero.
