31 Crazy (or Not so Crazy) Characters We Want as Smash DLC
Nintendo revealed Persona 5's Joker is the first of five Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC characters from the Fighter Pass. As great as that announcement is, Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime's comments during the reveal and in an interview with IGN later had the IGN office even more excited about the potential of more unique character come to Smash.
The list we've assembled builds on IGN's initial wishlist of characters we wanted to see in Smash, but this time around, we're looking further into Nintendo's history to pick fighters that would bring something unique to Smash, whether it be their fighting style or the character's personality. Some characters listed to break the standard rule of a fighter originating from video games, but we have reason to believe that they could just possibly come to Smash despite that. Maybe.

First Look at George Clooney in Hulu’s Catch-22
In the Spring of 2019, Hulu is set to release a new adaptation of Joseph Heller's beloved novel, Catch-22. This six-part miniseries is led by George Clooney, who will star, produce, and direct the ambitious undertaking by the streaming provider.
For a look at Clooney, along with many of the supporting cast, check out the gallery below:
"Based on Joseph Heller’s seminal novel of the same name, Catch-22 is the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty," according to a synopsis provided by Hulu.

These Two New Sports Anime Offer a Refreshing Focus on Relatable Problems
Sports anime have always been an eccentric flavor of a genre; they contain so many of the quirks that make anime intense and exciting, but they also can nail the slow burn character development and arcs we find in introspective stories. Hits like Kuroko's Basket and Prince of Tennis, for instance, are full of short-burst, high-adrenaline matches, and exaggerated abilities. On the other hand, series like Ace of Diamond, Haikyuu!, and Slam Dunk! tend to be more slow, drawn out, and character-driven. This season of anime takes a new spin on sports anime with two very different but fascinating series - Tsurune, a show focused on archery, and Run with the Wind, a show focused on running relays. While both of these shows have many of the shared traits of sports anime, they also do a fantastic job of balancing relatable problems with non-traditional ideas of masculinity.
Jump Force: My Hero Academia’s Izuku ‘Deku’ Midoriya Joins the Roster

Deku is the protagonist of My Hero Academia, an anime that will be receiving its fourth season in October 2019 and which also had a movie released in theaters, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, earlier this year.
Building a Superhero Team is Harder Than It Looks in Runaways Sneak Peek
Season 1 of Marvel's Runaways spends a lot of time establishing the titular teens before they actually, ahem, run away from their villainous parents, but in Season 2 of the Hulu comic book series, our heroes are definitely out of the house and on the lam, which will force them into plenty of dangerous situations and locations they never could've anticipated.
In IGN's exclusive sneak peek at Season 2, we see the Runaways in a hideout that should be familiar to fans of Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's comic - "The Hostel," a sprawling mansion that sank during an earthquake and is now buried underground, making it a perfect shelter for a group of wannabe heroes who are just learning to harness their powers and work as a team.
