James Gunn's relaunch of the DC Universe is looking up. Following the box office success of Superman, this resurging superhero franchise is next offering Supergirl, a flashy spinoff that's giving Guardians of the Galaxy energy with this first trailer.

Maybe it's Blondie blasting "Call Me" across footage of Supergirl partying and crashing alongside her lovable superpup, Krypto. Maybe it's the collision of outer space shenanigans, rock 'n' roll, and eye-popping action. But we are seated to see House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock reprise the role of Kara, Superman's enchantingly chaotic cousin.

Based on the comic mini-series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, written by Tom King and illustrated by Bilquis Evely, this movie will follow Kara on her party odyssey, which crashes into a quest to help an alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley) seek justice.

Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Cruella) directs Supergirl, with a screenplay by Ana Nogueira. Joining Alcock and Ridley in the superhero action are Matthias Schoenaerts, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa, who is not playing Aquaman here. Nearly a year ago, Momoa announced on Instagram he'd been asked to play Lobo, a hulking anti-hero who works as an interstellar bounty hunter.

What else can you glean from this teaser? Sound off in the comments.

Supergirl opens only in theaters June 26, 2026.

"Content creators can get plenty done on the go with the featherlight and ferocious Apple iPad Air, and it works well as a drawing tablet."

Although it leaked online before the announcement, Time magazine made its 2025 Person of the Year official on Thursday morning: It's the "architects of AI."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Time magazine's official cover(s) for the 2025 Person of the Year edition include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, AMD CEO Lisa Su, Tesla and xAI CEO Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and the "godmother of AI" Fei-Fei Li.

However, Time's accolade arrives as Generative AI faces increasing blowback over concerns about privacy and inaccuracies, its environmental impact, mass production of slop, and copyright issues. Still, more companies have started using AI for creative works, such as commercials. Coca-Cola and McDonald's are just two examples of big brands that published AI-generated holiday commercials – only to retract the ads after receiving criticism from consumers.

Those anti-AI feelings appear to be spilling over into Time's 2025 Person of the Year announcement as well.

On X, users commented about AI training off of intellectual property it may not have consent to use.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Others knocked how Time was celebrating the CEOs of tech companies rather than the "engineers and researchers who actually build AI."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Some X users focused on Time's choice of a cover for the Person of the Year issue, which recreates the infamous "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" photo from 1932, replacing the iron workers sitting on a steel beam with tech CEOs.

On Reddit, some of the top comments on the highest upvoted posts were very critical of Time's choice.

"Oh god Please burst the AI bubble ASAP." 

"how very disappointing" 

"The editors were so proud of this choice... ..until they all lost their jobs to the 'Person of the Year'."

And, of course, there were a few wise guys who cracked jokes about how "AI" written out looks like we're talking about a guy named "Al."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

It's important to note that Time's 2025 Person of the Year article does touch upon many of the negative aspects about AI.

The magazine's Person of the Year designation is not meant to be a moral judgement on the person chosen, but instead a recognition of their impact on the world, whether it's good, bad, or a mix of both. Over Time's history, the publication has given Person of the Year to some truly terrible individuals along with some who have devoted themselves to helping others.

Still, many online seem to believe that AI and its big tech cheerleaders don't deserve the recognition.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

If you grabbed Apple's AirPods Pro 3 on Black Friday, I'm sending my condolences. The same earbuds are now $20 cheaper — great news for those who still have them on their list.

As of Dec. 11, the AirPods Pro 3 are now on sale for just $199 at Amazon. That's 20% or $50 off the list price of $249 and a new best price ever for the premium Apple earbuds. Walmart kicked off the record-low pricing in the early hours of the day, but it didn't take long for Amazon to give 'em the old price match. At the time of writing, Best Buy and Target have yet to join in on the fun (both retailers currently have them on sale for $219.99).

"The AirPods Pro pop up on most best of lists, and though we've always been fans, the third generation takes these earbuds to a new level," writes Mashable's reviewer. The new Apple AirPods Pro 3 feature better noise cancellation (twice as good as the Pro 2s), better battery life (eight hours with ANC, 10 hours in transparency mode), and new foam-infused tips that come in five sizes to find the right fit. They also brought the heart rate monitoring tech from the Powerbeats Pro 2 (our favorite earbuds for working out) and Fitness app compatibility to the Pro 3s, and introduced a live translation feature.

If you already have the AirPods Pro 2, we don't think it's necessarily worth an upgrade, but if you're debating between the Pro 2 and Pro 3, this price drop really seals the deal. Go with the AirPods Pro 3.

The prices of PC components have been on a steady rise over the past few years, but this year's been something else. PC gamers are slowly being priced out of building a PC that'll be good enough to handle AAA games for the next few years.

Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI, the entertainment giant announced on Thursday. As part of the deal, OpenAI users will be able to create AI images and videos featuring some of Disney's copyrighted characters.

OpenAI recently launched Sora, an AI video generation app powered by the Sora 2 video model, which allows users to create short videos by typing in a text prompt. When the app first launched, it freely used copyrighted characters from companies like Disney, before OpenAI ultimately cracked down. Now, users will be able to create content on Sora using characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars universes.

The deal also extends to ChatGPT, where users will be able to create images with these characters just by entering a text prompt.

“The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI, we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement.

"Bringing together Disney’s iconic stories and characters with OpenAI’s groundbreaking technology puts imagination and creativity directly into the hands of Disney fans in ways we’ve never seen before," he said.

Disney also said that it will now become a "major customer" of OpenAI, and that it will be using its API to "build new products, tools, and experiences," as well as deploy ChatGPT for its employees.

While Disney has cozied up with OpenAI, the company has taken a very different approach with other AI companies. In June 2025, Disney and Universal filed a lawsuit against AI company Midjourney, calling the AI image generator a "bottomless pit of plagiarism."

Sora ruffled some feathers when it launched this September, too, with the Motion Picture Association urging OpenAI to take action against copyright infringement on the platform.

Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal have dazzled audiences in big-budget MCU titles like Thor: Ragnarok and Punisher, as well as earned critical acclaim for their turns in projects like Hedda and The Bear. Now, the pair unite for a Netflix limited crime series His & Hers.

SEE ALSO: The best Netflix TV shows of 2025

Based on the novel by Alice Feeney, the series stars Thompson as reclusive news anchor Anna Andrews and Bernthal as small-town detective Jack Harper. When a brutal murder rocks their small hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia, the pair find themselves drawn to the case from different sides. Oh, and one more thing: They're married.

Anna and Jack's marriage is a complicated one. The pair are estranged, and tension simmers between them in every scene they share in His & Hers' first trailer. Anna is coming at the case from a journalistic angle, hoping to catch the killer and spin a compelling news story. Her investigations cause trouble for Jack, and the couple soon begins to suspect one another of being involved in this heinous crime. They both claim not to be involved in the trailer, but that's just what a killer would say, right?

So whose side of the story will prove to be right in His & Hers? Check out the full trailer above to choose your allegiance.

His & Hers also stars Pablo Schreiber, Crystal Fox, Sunita Mani, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Marin Ireland, and Poppy Liu.

His & Hers premieres Jan. 8 on Netflix.

SAVE $143: As of Dec. 11, the LG 34-inch UltraGear WQHD curved gaming monitor is on sale for $356.99. That's 29% or $143 off its list price — the lowest price on record at Amazon.

Even if you missed the impressive discounts on gaming monitors on Black Friday, you can still score a great deal before the holidays.

As of Dec. 11, the LG 34-inch UltraGear WQHD curved gaming monitor is down to just $356.99 — nearly 30% off its list price of $499.99. That's its lowest price on record at Amazon and $3 cheaper than it was on Black Friday.

The ultra-wide curved display of the LG UltraGear WQHD takes you from just playing games to being submerged in them. The 34-inch display features a steep 1500R curvature and a 21:9 aspect ratio, so the screen will essentially wrap the action around you as you play. If you've never had a curved monitor before, it does take a bit of getting used to. But everyone from gamers to artists to multitaskers can benefit from the beauty of a wrap-around monitor. They do take up a bit more desk real estate than a typical monitor, so be sure you have to space available before you snag one.

As far as gaming specs go, it offers a 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time (which could certainly be speedier), and AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility. It also features Dynamic Action Sync, an FPS counter, a black stabilizer, and plenty of ports for your peripherals. It's not the most premium gaming monitor on the market, but it'll suit most casual gamers just fine. It also does pretty well as a regular monitor for work and everyday scrolling and streaming. A premium OLED monitor can cost you over $1,000, so the LG 34-inch UltraGear WQHD is quite the steal at $356.99.

These noise-cancelling headphones are one of our favorite pairs, with immersive listening developed by mastering audio engineers. They come with a special driver housed in a carbon fiber dome to deliver fantastic sound. Their HD noise cancelling processor is also 7x as fast as the QN1 model from Sony as well, with 12 microphonoes that work in real time to give you better noise cancellation, sound quality, and clearer calls.

Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth praised these headphones for having "close" to the best sound he's ever heard, and that their "elite noise cancellation, comfortable fit, and travel-friendly design" do justify their usually high price tag.

"They're not an instant upgrade if you already own the XM5 headphones," he wrote. "But if you have an older pair, want LDAC support, or just like the Sony product ecosystem, they're a worthy purchase, no doubt." Grab them while they're still on sale to get them for the lowest price we've found to date.
