‘The Batman’ meets the Joker: Matt Reeves releases deleted scene featuring newest version of Caped Crusader’s archenemy
SHARE

Heeeereee’s Barry! The Batman director Matt Reeves has dropped a deleted scene from his Bat-blockbuster that provides a longer look at the newest incarnation of the Joker, played by Barry Keoghan (Eternals, Dunkirk). While the three-hour cut of the film that’s currently showing in theaters features a brief (and largely obscured) cameo by the Irish actor, this five-minute scene gives fans a better sense of what the Clown Prince of Crime looks and sounds like. (Watch the clip above.)

Reeves has previously discussed the missing scene in interviews, comparing it to the Hannibal Lecter encounter in Michael Mann’s 1986 classic Manhunter. In the sequence, Batman (Robert Pattinson) visits the Joker at Arkham Asylum to discuss the curious case of the rampaging serial killer the Riddler (Paul Dano).

“I thought he would be really insecure about this and he’d probably want to find some way to get into the [Riddler’s] mindset, like in Manhunter or Mindhunter — this idea of profiling somebody, so you can predict his next move,” Reeves told Variety ahead of the film’s release. The director also confirmed that Keoghan was his Joker at a post-screening Q&A that Yahoo Entertainment attended in February.

“He’s who you think he is,” Reeves told a journalist who directly asked if the filmmaker would confirm the character’s identity. “That’s who he is. The thing about the movie is, it isn’t a Batman origin story, but it is the origin story of every rogues gallery character that you come across. Selina Kyle is not yet Catwoman, and the Penguin is not yet the kingpin. And the character that you’re referring to is not yet the character you’re referring to, but it is in fact him.”

Set during the Batman’s second year as Gotham City’s resident Dark Knight, the film depicts the still-young hero still struggling with his role as detective and protector. That’s a sore spot that the Joker has no problem pressing his proverbial thumb on. “I know who he is,” he says teasingly. “He’s a nobody who wants to be somebody.” He also tells the vigilante that the Riddler is on a “personal” mission — not unlike Batman. “This is very upsetting to you,” the Joker notes. “You two have so much in common: masked avengers. Except he’s even more righteous. Are you afraid he makes you look soft?”

While Warner Bros. has yet to announce a sequel to The Batman, it’s clear that Keoghan will play a role in the next chapter for Pattinson’s Caped Crusader. This glimpse of the confrontation to come has Bat-fans on Twitter alternately intrigued and irritated.

My take on the Batman deleted scene is it makes that other scene in the movie less annoying but also I still need a break from that character in movies for like 15 years

I love the look and body language of Barry Keoghan’s Joker, but his voice is just a higher-pitched version of Heath Ledger’s and I don’t like Keoghan’s laugh at all — too whiny & nasally. Overall, I need to see more, but right now he doesn’t seem like the Joker to me. #TheBatman pic.twitter.com/iFWf6M5Im6

I feel the need to watch Heath Ledger to erase this from my mind. Absolutely terrible. I love the film and I really like Barry Keoghan as an actor, but this is terrible. https://t.co/FH7yu4x4l6
