Supergirl was a box office bomb , earning just $116 million since its June 24 release against its reported $290 million production and marketing budget. This has renewed talk about “ superhero fatigue ” and led to plenty of speculation about the future of the DC Universe , but a big streaming success might show the way forward for both Supergirl and the DC Universe. source https://www.polygon.com/hbo-max-streaming-hit-july-14-2026/

The first significant depiction of a black hole in film was in The Black Hole (1979), where two spacecraft react differently to the phenomenon after reaching the event horizon. This early portrayal wasn’t big on scientific accuracy, much like 2009’s Star Trek , which uses black holes to build tension and resolve its central conflict through time-travel shenanigans. source https://www.polygon.com/robert-pattinson-scifi-christopher-nolan-streaming-tubi-free/

Christopher Nolan did an impressive job of bringing Batman villains to the big screen. Heath Ledger’s Oscar-winning performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight set the high-water mark for the series, but other highlights included Cillian Murphy’s appropriately creepy Scarecrow, the sinister paternalism of Liam Neeson’s Ra’s al Ghul, and the dark charisma of Aaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent. Tom Hardy’s take on Bane was the low point of the series, thanks to his bizarre voice and the character’s convoluted schemes. But now a new Batman trilogy is finally doing justice to one of Gotham’s most terrifying villains. source https://www.polygon.com/dark-knight-rises-batman-knightfall-comparison/
