Whatcha Playing, Geekly: October 2026

Happy Wednesday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here. Today, our writers share what they've been playing over the past month. Feel free to share what you've been playing, because we're all part of the Geekly Gang. I'll get things started with what I've been playing over the past month. Kyra's Video Games I've been playing a lot of games for next year's indie video game reviews, so many of the games I mention this month will most likely get a review in the not-so-distant future. Feed the Scorchpot officially released a couple of months ago.

Five Popular But Underused/Misused Batman Villains

Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another Top 5 Batman Villains list. What? I warned you that I found numerous Batman villains while researching Batman's Rogues Gallery. I still have enough unused villains for at least two more lists. The last list was 5 Underrated/Underused Women Batman Villains. Today's list will feature popular Batman villains who, for some reason, aren't used as much as they could or should be, or they get misused. Plenty of Batman villains could make this list. These are our five picks who fit the bill.

Who Would be in Batman’s Sinister Six?

Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here, and today, we're trying something a little different. If Batman were to have a super villain team like the Sinister Six, who would comprise the team? Spider-Man can't have all the fun. JK. There are a lot of factors to consider when composing a Batman Sinister Six. We could've gone in multiple directions, and Batman has such a storied rogues gallery that any number of his villains could make the team. I also don't think we need to go one for one with Spider-Man's Sinister Six, meaning we don't need a Batman villain version of each Sinister Six member, but I'll explain which role a villain could serve.

Lanterns “The Jordan Boys Legacy” Review

Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another another review/reaction of this week’s episode of Lanterns, “The Jordan Boys Legacy.” If you want to see our thoughts on last week’s episode, “Bad Optics,” here's a link to that review. "The Jordan Boys Legacy" had some great callbacks. That's good, sometimes even great. And this week's episode did some things to progress Lanterns season one's plot, but I'm afraid it may not have done enough. The season finale has a ton of work. As the episode's title implies, "The Jordan Boys Legacy" dives into Hal Jordan's backstory.

Fifth Wednesday September 2026: Personal Updates

Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here, and we just barely got a fifth Wednesday this month. You know what that means: Personal Updates. Today, our writers share personal updates from the past few months. I'll kick off this post with some of my personal updates. Kyra's Updates Well, this is an awkward time for an update. Nuke-Con 2026 is a couple of days from now. Not only will I be at the board game convention, I'll be a guest of honor. What? I've never been a guest at a convention before.

3 Lists of 3 Trans Representation: Take 01

Hey, hey! Kyra Kyle here. Today, our classic three lists of three post returns. We haven’t done one of these in almost two years. The last one took a lot out of me, and I wanted to retire the format for a while. But it’s back. Three lists of three posts allow Geekly to explore a topic from multiple angles, maybe even some angles we would seldom cover in a solo post. Today’s topic is transgender representation in media. Geekly started an ongoing series of transgender representation in media. Typically, that series follows television (occasionally) and movies, but let’s discuss other media.

Geekly News: September 27, 2026; New Releases

Happy Sunday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another week of Geek News. With the holidays around the corner we have plenty of new releases for board games and video games this week. Let's get to the games. Personal Demons Launches on KickStarter A group therapy ritual where 1-4 players summon and seal away their own personal demons. This fast-paced, simultaneous-action drafting-style game has each player populating their own summoning circle in a tableau-style puzzler, aiming to form complete seals and conquer their demons. Hefty and colossal Demons of increasingly larger card sizes can be summoned and sealed once their requirements are met, and each one gives all players unique benefits that can change the way you play the game.

Top 5 Punisher Villains

Happy Saturday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another Top 5 Villains List. Today's post breaks down The Punisher's best villains. Honestly, The Punisher has a thin number of unique villains. The Punisher borrows quite a few villains from other superheroes' rogues' galleries, so you may see some villains on this list that are typically connected with another superhero. This isn't to say that The Punisher is devoid of great stories; we shared some great Punisher Starter Stories a year ago, but The Punisher lacks a compelling rogues' gallery.

Lanterns “Bad Optics” Review

Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another review/reaction of this week’s episode of Lanterns, “Bad Optics.” If you want to see our thoughts on last week’s episode, “Lights Out,” here's a link to that review. This week's episode of Lanterns marks Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner's first appearance. Oh! Spoiler alert is in effect for the rest of this post. "Bad Optics" does a lot of heavy lifting, as in a ton of playing catch up between the 2016 storyline and 2026 (which was hinted at in the series' pilot).

Geekly Tunes: September 2026

Happy Wednesday, Geekly Gang! Today, our writers share what they've been listening to over the past month. Feel free to share what you've been listening to in the comments, because we're all part of the Geekly Gang. I'll get this post kicked off with what I've been listening to over the past month. Kyra's Tunes I mentioned Weezer some time last year. I still claim their first two albums are all-time greats, but the rest of the band's catalogue pales in comparison. Bassist Matt Sharpe (pictured second from the right above) was Weezer's secret weapon.

Top 5 Tabletop Games From 2003

Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another Top 5 Tabletop Games throughout the years. Today’s list features the best games from 2003. Unfortunately, 2003 gets sandwiched between two of the better years for board games, but that doesn't mean we don't have a handful of standouts this year. Almost every year has at least one or two stellar games. We’ll talk about 2003’s board game list soon, but let’s review the ground rules for which games make these lists before we begin. 1: Cultural relevance plays as much of a factor as overall quality.

Writing Brain Dump: September 18, 2026

Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another writing brain dump. We've entered the "Ber" Season, months ending with the letters BER, so I'm doubling down on my writing. But I had trouble getting into gear, finding a flow state, discovering my voice, and all that fun stuff. Thankfully, one method got me on track: The Literary Triptych. Literary triptychs work like art triptychs. Triptychs are the sets of three art pieces that build off one another. The artist tells a story with their set of three paintings. A literary triptych--as I define it--can do a similar thing.

Lanterns “Lights Out” Review

Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another review/reaction of this week's episode of Lanterns, "Lights Out." If you want to see our thoughts on last week's episode, "The Weenie," here's a link to that review. I was pleasantly surprised when Lanterns ended its 2016 storyline this week. It ends about as well as one might imagine (not well at all), but before we get into my thoughts on "Lights Out," let's get the spoiler warning out of the way. There's little chance of me discussing this episode without spoiling the story.

Whatcha Watching, Geekly? September 2026

Happy Wednesday, Geekly Gang! Today, our writers share what they've been watching over the past month. Feel free to share what you've been watching this past month, because we're all part of the Geekly Gang. I'll get things started with what I've been watching this past month. Kyra's Shows I've been rewatching Black Mirror episodes this past month. I've bounced from one episode I remember enjoying to the next. Even though Black Mirror's quality has waxed and waned over the years, mostly waned, the classics are classics for a reason. "Playtest," "White Christmas," "The Entire History of You," "San Junipero," and "Be Right Back" still hit hard, and newer episodes like "Joan Is Awful" are a ton of sick fun.

5 Comic Book Villains Who Can Be the Main Character

Happy Monday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another list of five. Today's Top 5 list centers around comic book villains who could be the main character in a television series or movie. The DCU and DCEU have been better showcasing their villains. Penguin, Black Adam, Joker, Clayface, and even Harley Quinn have all had television shows or movies featuring them as the main characters. Marvel has been less prolific. This may be a Marvel-heavy list of five, but I'll try to sprinkle in some DC Comics characters who haven't yet seen the limelight.
