The Batman: Newcomer’s Mystery Role Revealed?
UPDATE: The first rumblings on what actress Jayme Lawson's "notable role" might be in The Batman have surfaced.
According to io9, Lawson will play Bella, "a grassroots political candidate running for office in Gotham." And, as the site points out, Bella is also the name of the female lead in that other Robert Pattinson-led franchise, Twilight.
Our original report follows.
The already talented cast of Matt Reeves The Batman has reportedly added newcomer Jayme Lawson to its ranks in an undisclosed role, according to Collider. If Lawson's name doesn't ring a bell, that is because The Batman will be her first film role, as she just recently graduated from The Juilliard School, one of the world's leading performing arts schools.
Watchmen: WTF Is Going on With Ozymandias?
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the first four episodes of Watchmen!
HBO's Watchmen series is giving fans plenty of reason to scratch their heads. A lot has changed in this world in the three decades since the events of the original comic. And no character's story has taken a more bizarre swerve than Jeremy Irons' Adrian Veidt.
From cloned servants to outlandish contraptions to his ongoing feud with someone named the Game Warden, Veidt has seemingly gone off the deep end. Read on as we try to make sense of his current predicament and how it all may tie into the larger conflict of the series.
Where Is Ozymandias?
There's a lot the series still has to reveal in terms of what happened to Adrian Veidt in between the comic and TV series. Most of what we do know comes from the companion website Peteypedia, which reveals Veidt mysteriously disappeared and was declared missing in 2012 after Trieu Industries purchased his corporate holdings. As the series opens in 2019, Veidt has been declared "presumed dead" after a seven-year search.

Fans Are Divided Over Fortnite’s Skill-Based Matchmaking
Toward the end of Fortnite Season 10, Epic introduced a new skill-based matchmaking system that aimed to connect players of equal skill. The goal of the new matchmaking update is to help newer and casual players find less competitive matches so that they have an opportunity to work on their skills, rather than just trying to survive against top-tier competition.
With the launch of Fortnite Chapter 2, Epic's skill-based matchmaking system is now in full swing, and it seems to be dividing the community instead of bringing it together. Popular Fortnite YouTuber Ali-A recently took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the new matchmaking system, saying, "Skill Based Matchmaking is the worst addition ever to Fortnite and it's killing the game." His full comments can be seen in the Tweets below.
