ROBOT BOXINGChinese robotics company Unitree just dropped the announcement for what they claim will be the first ever boxing match between humanoid robots. The event is called “Iron Fist King: Awakening!” —which, let’s be honest, sounds more like an arcade game from the early 2000s than an actual tech showcase. But apparently, it's happening. In about a month. And yes, they’re promising punches. Between robots. For real.
They’ve already released a teaser video showing two of their machines squaring off in what looks like a training session. The bots throw punches, move around with a certain flow, and even stumble a bit —as if the video’s trying extra hard to look real because not everything looks polished. Still, it’s hard to buy it completely.
The movements feel… off. Too smooth to be robotic, too clunky to be cutting-edge animation. It sits in that uncanny valley where your brain goes: “Nice try, but I’m not sold.” It smells more like well-done CGI packaged as “look what we can already do,” rather than something truly happening in real time.
Are we getting closer to actual robot sports? Maybe. Are we seeing a real one here? Yeah, not likely.

A sweet memento from their first date.
SUPERMAN: LEGACYThere was a time, back in the '90s, when going to the movies felt like a weekend ritual. Every Friday brought new and varied releases. There was always something that grabbed your attention—maybe a wild comedy, an action flick full of explosions, or a story that hit you right in the feels. Not every movie was a masterpiece, but most of them did the job: they entertained you, made you laugh, pulled you in. And the best part? You walked out of the theater feeling like it was worth it, like you hadn't been ripped off. (Back then, 4 euros got you a ticket, popcorn, and a drink.)
Nowadays, though, it’s hard to find something that actually makes you want to pay for the big screen experience. Weeks can go by without a single release that doesn’t feel recycled, predictable, or just plain boring. I don’t know if it’s me getting pickier, the industry running out of ideas and cash, or a mix of both. But in this case, it really does feel like the “good old days” weren’t just nostalgia—things really were better back then.
DC just dropped a nearly five-minute clip on YouTube featuring David Corenswet as Superman, along with his dog, Krypto. The video shows a wounded Superman in a frozen, icy setting.
