The Batman Was Right To Cut Its Joker Scene
The Joker’s recently released deleted scene from The Batman provides the best look at Barry Keoghan’s Clown Prince of Crime yet, but the film was right to cut the scene. Matt Reeves’ The Batman is a dark and grounded new version of the iconic hero’s mythos, featuring new versions of not only Batman but also Catwoman, The Riddler, James Gordon, and The Penguin. As Batman’s arch-nemesis and most famous adversary, Joker’s tease in the final film was not surprising, and while his five-minute deleted scene was entertaining, it adds little to the movie aside from a distraction.
