The Batman director Matt Reeves tweeted out that the movie’s ARG viral website has launched the prolonged prisoner scene that was lower from the movie. In it we get an extended have a look at Barry Keoghan as the Joker. At this level it’s fairly apparent its him—following the collection of puzzles individuals in the Riddler’s video games on the positioning have been taking part in, every resulted within the letter “J” being lacking. And whereas we received a fake-out prize of all of the the Riddler’s recordsdata, some nonetheless suspected we might be getting this very scene on the finish of the viral marketing campaign.

Of the scene Reeves beforehand was reported saying, “It’s a really creepy, cool scene,” he says. “That was the scene that was meant to introduce this guy and just to tease the audience to go like, ‘Oh my god, he’s here too? And he’s not yet the Joker—what’s this going to be?’ And then it seems so delicious in the story, since we’d already set him up, to have the end of the story, the completion of the Riddler arc, be that he was in a cell next to this guy.”

From the sense of this clip, this scene occurs whereas Batman seems for tactics to determine what the Riddler has deliberate. He goes to the Joker for recommendation, who clearly simply desires to rejoice their paper anniversary. So he’s been in there a couple of yr we determine. Maybe if he let himself be romanced by the OG member of his Rogues’ Gallery, he would have gotten extra out of this alternate.

If something we’re excited to see extra of Keoghan’s tackle the character, who serves as a Hannibal Lecter for Bats right here. Having performed trickster roles in David Lowery’s The Green Knight and in Chloe Zhao’s The Eternals, he’s completely chaotic for the function. And the look is beginning to come collectively. We’re undoubtedly getting a little bit of Lee Bermejo Joker within the look, by the use of New 52’s face mutilation.

The Batman is in theaters now and anticipated to drop on April 19 onto HBO Max.
