When movie characters are primarily known as indomitable killers, it’s only natural for fans to speculate on who would win a fight between them. Now, two of the most iconic, Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th and Michael Myers from Halloween, have come up against each other in a fan trailer for the totally-should-already-exist mashup Jason vs. Michael: Friday the 31st.
The Joker is one of the most iconic villains in comic book history, instantly recognizable even to people with only a passing familiarity with the medium. While we won’t see the Clown Prince of Crime in The Batman, it’s only a matter of time before he faces Robert Pattinson’s new take on the Caped Crusader, and some recent fan art has now imagined how Bill Skarsgård might look as the villain.
Although it’s only been nine months since we said goodbye to Oliver Queen and Arrow, such has been the gruelling nature of 2020 that the events of January now feel like they took place years ago.

Defying such low expectations, the film went on to become the surprise hit of the summer and the fourth-highest grossing movie of 2003, after Return of the King, Finding Nemo and The Matrix Reloaded. Its popularity was largely down to Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, but during production, the studio bosses didn’t know what to make of his acting and were afraid it would contribute to the movie’s failure.
When Scream was released in 1996, it not only revived a flagging subgenre bogged down by formulaic clichés, but also reinvented it in several ways, one of the most prominent being the revelation that there were in fact two masked killers knocking off Woodsboro residents. This idea was repeated in the sequel, but altered in Scream 3, which had only a single murderer. However, in the original script, the formula was maintained.

At the conclusion of Star Trek: Nemesis, Commander Riker finally accepted a promotion to captain and was given command of the USS Titan. Despite the movie being released in 2002, it marked the end of The Next Generation era, and so it's taken until now for the ship to be depicted on screen, as we finally saw it in the first season finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks.
