At the 2025 Emmy Awards, Banks was tapped to present Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Rather than simply introduce the nominees and let the moment speak for itself, she tried to make it into a feminist statement.

Could the next Superman movie feature Brainiac? Gary Buechler, host of Nerdrotic on YouTube, thinks so. In a conversation with Chris Gore of Film Threat, Buechler said he’d heard from a source that an earlier cut of Superman featured two post-credits scenes, one of which wasn’t used. “And one was Brainiac,” Buechler said. “So maybe… they moved that to Supergirl.”
