As production on The Batman kicks off (and set photos circulate of a fully batsuit-ed Robert Pattison riding a batcycle), actor Jeffrey Wright has shared some of the reading he's doing to prep for his role as Jim Gordon. In his Instagram post, Wright, who's set to appear in Season 3 of HBO's Westworld in March, revealed an image of the trade paperback Batman: The Golden Age Vol. 1. Here's a look... "Background reads for the culture," Wright writes. "In the beginning..." Batman: The Golden Age Vol. 1 contains Detective Comics #27-45, Batman #1-3, and New York World’s Fair Comics #2 - so it really hones in on the Caped Crusader's first published outings as Gotham's go-to vigilante. Director Matt Reeves has said that The Batman will focus on Batman's detective abilities, emphasizing a rogues gallery and offering a more mystery, Noir-influenced take on Gotham City. Though no one knows yet if Wright's Jim Gordon will hold the title of "commissioner" in The Batman, or if the story will have him start out as a detective or lieutenant, Gordon was police commissioner in his first appearance in Detective Comics #27. Check out Robert Pattinson in the batsuit, as part of test footage released by Reeves, as well as all the various comic book influences for the suit. You can also see IGN's official ranking of all the movie batsuits here. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/13/the-batman-camera-test"] Plus, Ben Affleck recently explained why he gave up playing Batman in the DCEU. The Batman -- which releases June 25, 2021 -- stars Pattison as Bruce Wayne / Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle / Catwoman, Colin Farrel as Oswald Cobblepot / The Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton / The Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and John Turturro as Gotham City mobster Carmine Falcone.

Court documents reveal that Activision is attempting to subpoena Reddit in order to uncover the identity of the user who recently leaked key art for Modern Warfare's battle royale game mode, Warzone. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Activision is filing a Digital Millennium Copyright Act subpoena against Reddit in an effort to reveal the identity of the user who leaked "infringing Activision content." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-call-of-duty-review&captions=true"] The now-deleted Reddit post seemingly revealed some key art from the upcoming Modern Warfare: Warzone game mode. This is not the first Warzone leak, as there have been a handful of leaks over the past couple of months, which have all but confirmed the unannounced battle royale game mode. A December leak seemingly revealed an official look at the new Warzone map, while a leak earlier this month seems to reveal the full battle royale map. Since Modern Warfare leaks are not uncommon, it's unclear why Activision is just now deciding to take legal action. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/14/new-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-battle-royale-details-reportedly-leaked-ign-news"] IGN has reached out to Activision for a comment, but did not immediately receive a reply. A DMCA subpoena allows a company to notify another company that copyright-protected materials have been posted in some form on their own service, ostensibly compelling that company to respond and take down the infringing material. The DMCA protects companies like Reddit, YouTube, or other internet-based companies from legal damages if a user posts another company's content on their site, so long as they agree to comply to the subpoena. Activision is not the only company that has taken legal action against a leaker in the past few months. In November, Epic sued a UX tester for leaking details about Fortnite Chapter 2, and one month later sued another leaker for the same thing. At the time of writing, it is unclear if Activision will be successful in subpoenaing Reddit to court, and if Reddit will comply with releasing the user's identity. We will update this story in the coming days as more news unfolds. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Andrew Smith is a freelance contributor with IGN. Follow him on Twitter @_andrewtsmith.

A new leak from Target employees seems to confirm that a new generation of the Apple TV, iPod Touch, and AirPod tech is in the works. Listed as placeholders in the Target backend, these listings don't mention any kind of release date but do offer some pricing details. Uncovered by 9to5Mac, the placeholder listing has the new Apple TV priced at $179.99, which is $30 more than the 4th generation Apple TV and the same price as the Apple TV 4K. The iPod Touch and AirPods are currently listed at $399. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-tv-show-coming-to-apple&captions=true"] It is fairly common for retailers to create placeholders for unannounced items so that the backend will be all set up when the new products arrive. Further, these prices are far from confirmed, as retailers usually just put in a "best guess" price until an official announcement has been made. It's important to note that while a new generation of Apple products is likely coming, none of this has been officially confirmed by the tech giant. Apple tends to hold a major event every spring, so it's possible there might be an announcement then. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/13/apple-arcade-in-100-seconds"] The new Apple TV will likely look to provide additional support for Apple Arcade, the company's game streaming service. Apple Arcade released last September and costs $5 a month.

With just about a week before PAX East, Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has announced that the long-awaited RPG will first launch in early access later this year.

Hasbro, which owns Wizards of the Coast, which in turn is responsible for the publishing of D&D products, made the announcement at the New York Toy Fair, according to a report from DSO Gaming.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/06/baldurs-gate-3-announcement-teaser-uncut"]

It wouldn’t be the first time Larian has released one of its expansive role-playing games in early access. Divinity: Original Sin 2 first released as early access in September 2016, and finally launched in full almost exactly a year later in 2017. During its first stage of early access, Larian only had the prologue, first chapter, and a transition to act two available to play. Hasbro and Larian have made no further comments regarding what amount of content will release during this early access period, or what state it will be in. After its full release, Divinity: Original Sin 2 also received ongoing updates, culminating in a Definitive Edition in August 2018, which came with a wide array of improvements.

Larian will be debuting gameplay footage during PAX East for Baldur’s Gate 3 on February 27 at 3:30 P.M. Eastern Time. Larian has said that the PAX East presentation will feature gameplay and story details, plus a Q&A session for fans afterwards.

Hasbro discussed plenty more details during their presentation at the New York Toy Fair. The company echoed the Wizards of the Coast president’s earlier comments, saying that seven games based on the Dungeons & Dragons IP are currently in production, including Dark Alliance (the spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance), which lets players hack and slash their way through orc hordes as the popular Icewind Dale characters Drizzt the dark elf, Cattie-brie, Wulfgar, and Bruenor.
