Joker has not only become the most profitable comic book movie of all time but it’s led to many discussions, story-wise, about what’s real and what’s not with regards to Arthur Fleck’s unreliable narrator status. A centerpiece of this is Zazie Beetz’s neighbor character, Sophie, who was crucial to one of the twists in the plot, and whose ultimate fate was left unanswered.
Beetz is also know for playing a big role in another comic book movie, as she was Deadpool 2’s super-powered luck machine Domino. Of course, Deadpool is (the R-rated) part of Fox’s X-Men universe, but now that Disney’s brought the X-Men film rights back to Marvel, and Marvel plans on making an X-Men movie at some point, Beetz has gone on record saying she’d love to play Storm.
For all the comic book superhero video games released over the years, you’d think there would be more gems in the mix but for a long time, they were quite rare. Thankfully, in more recent years, there has been a ton of fantastic developers who have been given the freedom to really explore why we love these consumed heroes and brought that into the video game world. We’ve collected ten of the best comic book video games that managed to capture our imaginations.
Flying out of the sewers and into the action, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Game was one of the first from Konami to bring the fearsome foursome onto the beat em’ up scene way back in 1989. That was three years before Konami’s other classic X-Men Arcade was brought in, allowing six players to get in on the action at the same time. The Turtle classic had the added benefit of being released around the height of Ninja Turtle fever during the original cartoon series’ heyday.
If you’ve been paying attention to the last few months of Pokemon news, it’s no secret that the franchise’s fan community is a little concerned about just how innovative Pokemon Sword and Shield will really be. A vocal contingent of the Pokemon fandom has been very critical of developer Game Freak, and have only been spurred on by recent leaks. To put a bow on it, Game Freak decided to cancel their Tokyo launch event for Sword and Shield due to “operational reasons.”
There is no knowing where Rick and Morty will end up in Season 4, which premieres Sunday, November 10 on Adult Swim (check out our review here).

Death Stranding is a tricky beast. Kojima Productions created a truly unique game with a sci-fi narrative that kept many of us at GameSpot delivering packages until the wee early hours of the morning. Because it’s such an unusual game, it wasn’t easy to put this list together. Thankfully, after some hard thinking, we realized there are a lot of great games, movies, shows, and books that tap into the same things we love about Death Stranding.
In this article, we recommend different kinds of media that fit the themes, emotion, and vibes of Death Stranding, but we don’t go into any story spoilers. To be honest, nothing quite matches Death Stranding’s story, beat for beat, so don’t worry about this list spoiling it for you. We hope you’ll find something you end up loving, whether it’s a completely different video game with similar themes, a movie about hope and humanity, or a story about a particularly strange place.
We’ll come back to update this article if we discover any more experiences that come to mind for Death Stranding fans. For now, we hope you enjoy our suggestions–feel free to drop your own recommendations in the comments below!
If we could all run our own arcades, I’m pretty sure the world would be a better place. Thankfully, Walmart has a great deal on Arcade1UP’s line of 4-foot tall arcade cabinets, meaning you can bring the nostalgia straight into your living room. Walmart’s deals currently beat Target’s already-lowered prices, so if you’ve been sitting on the fence about grabbing one (or three) of these, now is the absolute best time to do so. Keep in mind that each of these cabinets comes with 2-4 games, so check each listing and see how much game you’re getting.
“Fighting Fate,” Episode 4 of Season 4 of My Hero Academia, begins with aplomb and ends with a draining and satisfying extended scene of real character growth. The season’s best episode yet accomplishes so much without throwing a single punch.
The two minutes of episode we get before the sweet-as-honey OP kicks in is one hell of an intro to the episode, spring-boarding us into what we will be immediately hoping is the best episode of Season 4 so far. These opening minutes forego the usual Deku spiel about UA and his goal of becoming the number one hero; instead, it provides expert exposition in a handful of shots. We get our first real glimpse of Mirio’s hero costume, proudly displaying the number ‘1,000,000’, and him officially telling Deku his hero name, Lemillion.
