A new deleted scene from Matt Reeves' The Batman gives fans a closer look at Barry Keoghan as the Joker when the Batman visits him at Arkham.
It’s hard to get a good look at the Joker from this scene — in most of it, Keoghan’s face is blurred behind the glass, with Pattinson’s back in focus. The scene features the Batman paying a visit to the Joker to find out more about the Riddler’s intentions. (Lots of The Batman spoilers follow, so beware.)
Barry Keoghan's Joker has different scars than other on-screen Jokers. Matt Reeves explains this new iteration's backstory.
“There might be places,” Reeves told Variety in the same interview. This Joker did not fall into a vat of chemicals (see Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton’s “Batman”) or have an open-ended reason for being scarred (see Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight”). His face is half-covered through most of the film.”
Robert Pattinson's first Dark Knight adventure sees the Irish actor show up as an iconic baddy. Let's break down all the adventure's climactic moments.
He also works with Gordon and DA Harvey Dent to prevent a gang war between the Falcone and Maroni crime families. That URL brings you to a viral marketing website where you answer a series of the villain's questions. This movie is reportedly the first of a trilogy, and two HBO Max shows (a police procedural set in the GCPD and a Penguin-centric crime series) are seemingly in the works. And so Edward grew up to be the Riddler. Bruce's late mother, Martha, was a member of the Arkham family whose parents died in a murder-suicide, with the trauma leading her to be institutionalised multiple times growing up. This threatened to expose Martha's story, and Thomas went to Falcone for help (because going to a mobster for aid always ends well) and Elliot ended up dead. Before Batman and the GCPD can take Falcone into custody, Selena confronts him with the revelation that he's her father and prepares to kill him. Batman leaps into action to stop people from getting electrocuted in the flood waters, then rescues the new mayor and a bunch of others who got trapped under debris. But that shouldn't be taken as canon since the scene isn't in the movie. "One day you're on top, the next you're a clown... The Batman is in movie theaters (but not on HBO Max yet), with Robert Pattinson donning Bruce Wayne's iconic cowl and beating up Gotham City's criminals in an intense adventure set in the early days of his vigilante career. They open fire on the trapped crowds, but Batman, Catwoman, Gordon and the city's cops stop them in a pretty epic action sequence.
Matt Reeves' "The Batman" has one last stinger featuring Batman (Robert Pattinson) interrogating the Joker (Barry Keoghan) in Arkham Asylum.
“But in this case, I have plenty of ideas about where it goes.” “Not because anyone asked me to cut it, but [I didn’t think] it was necessary,” Reeves said. The scene also features a fuller glimpse at Keoghan’s physical transformation — which includes intense scarring on the skull, hands, and face — for the famed role outside of his brief cameo as an “unseen Arkham” inmate in “The Batman.” Fans have already compared Keoghan’s mannerisms to Heath Ledger’s Oscar-winning turn as the comic book villain in “The Dark Knight.”

The new scene takes place in the Arkham Asylum, where RBatz has come to ask the Joker what he knows about the Riddler. We never get a clear shot of Keoghan, but from what we do see, he looks pretty rough. Of course, this Joker refuses to give us a straight answer about the Riddler’s origins. Whether or not you wanted more of Barry Keoghan’s Joker, he and his unsettling laugh are here, because Warner Bros. has released a deleted scene from Matt Reeves’s The Batman that gives us another glimpse of his take on the grinning villain.
Director Matt Reeves posted a link to watch the deleted scene with Batman and the Joker - but you'll need to solve his riddles first.
“So at some point, I definitely want the audience to see that scene, just because they could see this really cool scene, but it isn’t something that’s part of the overall narrative that is like, “Oh, I wish…” I won’t even put it in the movie. He said: “There is a scene that I would love the audience to see that I didn’t put in. “But it’s a really cool scene with that same unseen prisoner in Arkham. There was an earlier where Batman, because he’s getting these cards and letters from the Riddler, and he’s thinking, “Why is this guy writing to me?
