Walter Hill directed several exciting action films, including lesser-known gems like Extreme Prejudice starring Nick Nolte, Red Heat with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the stylish Streets of Fire. He also made the tense, single-location thriller Trespass, and the popular 48 Hrs., featuring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. However, many consider his best film to be The Warriors. Interestingly, some even prefer the 2005 video game adaptation made by Rockstar Games, finding it even more fun.
Creating a compelling hero is tough, but crafting a truly memorable villain is even harder. Fortunately, since the DC Rebirth era began, several DC villains have stood out as more than just temporary threats. Characters like Godspeed, a speedster who genuinely pushed Barry Allen to his limits, and Olgrun, an ancient evil lurking beyond our world, have proven to be exceptional. Here are 10 of the best villains DC Comics has created over the past ten years.
The Big Sisters were terrifying enemies in combat, but also deeply tragic characters within the game’s story. They were a fantastic improvement on the original enemy design, though understandably left out when BioShock Infinite moved to a different storyline. Even now, 16 years after BioShock 2’s release on February 9, 2010, their graceful yet deadly presence remains memorable. With another BioShock game currently in development, many fans would be thrilled to see these characters make a return.
Rune wasn’t designed to be popular with everyone, and it didn’t need to be. It built a dedicated fanbase through its intense, complex gameplay and a competitive multiplayer experience that favored skill over time investment. Its cancellation doesn’t feel like a natural ending, but rather an abrupt stop to a promising story, particularly now that fast-paced, skill-based action games are gaining recognition. The timing couldn’t be better for Rune to make a return.
Overall, The Adventures of Pete and Pete feels as strange and unusual as the show actually is. It centers around two brothers, both named Pete – one older (Big Pete) and one younger (Little Pete) – who see the quirky happenings in their town of Wellsville from a unique perspective. Big Pete usually acts as the voice of reason amidst all the odd characters, while Little Pete – who has a tattoo of a woman in a red dress – often clashes with adults and tends to react to problems in unpredictable ways. Despite their typical brotherly squabbles, the two Petes are very close friends.

The mid to late 2000s were a fascinating time for DC Comics and its readers. Beginning with 2005’s Infinite Crisis, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC started revisiting beloved elements of its comics and the idea of a vast multiverse. It was a really creative period, with top comic book writers and artists reimagining classic characters and teams. Grant Morrison was writing Batman at the time, and had been developing ideas for a huge, epic story (originally called Hypercrisis) for years. This finally came to fruition as Final Crisis, a comic that’s become known as one of the most intricate and often misinterpreted events in comic book history. While it’s definitely a complex story, that complexity is a big part of what makes it so compelling.
