For all we know about Matt Reeves's upcoming DC film, The Batman, there's still a ton of mystery surrounding it. Yes, Robert Pattinson will be playing Bruce Wayne, Zoe Kravitz will be Selina Kyle, Collin Farrell will play The Penguin--but beyond the star-studded cast, the details have been kept extremely vague. The slow drip of information continues to trickle in and the latest is test footage for the movie. Reeves took to Twitter to share the video, giving us our first look at Pattinson in full costume, and our first glimpse at what we can expect from the brand new Bat Suit.#TheBatman#CameraTesthttps://t.co/M1tAE2aTA1 — Matt Reeves (@mattreevesLA) February 13, 2020The Batman is expected to take a more detective-focused look into the world of the Dark Knight, pitting Bruce Wayne against not only The Penguin and Catwoman, but The Riddler (Paul Dano) tool. Joining Dano, Farrell, Pattinson, and Kravitz will be Andy Serkis as Batman's faithful butler, Alfred Pennyworth. Westworld actor Jeffery Wright has also been in talks to take the role of Commissioner Gordon.We can't be sure where or how The Batman will connect to the rest of the DCEU, or if it will remain a completely disconnected alternate universe similar to Joker--but one thing is definitely certain: The new costume looks absolutely incredible. The Bat logo on the chest seems to be made of fragmented metal, the shoulders look heavily armored, and the cowl looks like it may have already seen some battle damage, which could indicate that we'll be joining the Caped Crusader well into his superhero journey, rather than at the very start.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

With the April 15 tax deadline approaching for Americans, some might be wondering about what they do and do not need to disclose on their Form 1040 as it relates to gaming. The situation just got a little more complicated due to a change by the IRS.The IRS recently removed wording from its website that said Americans needed to disclose whether or not they received, sold, exchanged, or acquired a financial interest in Fortnite or Roblox virtual currency during the 2019 tax year. Millions of Fortnite and Roblox players would presumably be impacted, as they would need to disclose this as taxable income.The wording was discovered by Coin Center director Jerry Brito. The IRS removed the language after Bloomberg Tax followed up with the government group, though it has yet to comment officially on the matter.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
