Barry Keoghan Honors All Joker Actors In Response To The Batman Deleted Scene
Actor Barry Keoghan responds to the release of his Joker deleted scene from The Batman. Director Matt Reeves' The Batman is currently playing in theaters and a tremendous success around the world, recently passing the $300 million mark at the U.S. box office. The film stars Robert Pattinson as the titular character, with Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as Riddler, Colin Farrell as Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, and Andy Serkis as Alfred. Another cast member in the film that was teased at the end of the film was Keoghan's Joker, who has a small scene with Dano's Riddler inside Arkham.
However, there was another scene shot with Keoghan's Joker which was ultimately cut from the theatrical version, as Reeves' believed it wasn't necessary within the larger narrative of The Batman. The scene in question had Batman visit Joker in Arkham during his investigation into the Riddler, seeking advice about the case from what he believes is a like-minded villain. WB just released the scene online, which gives a much closer look at Keoghan's performance as the infamous character, showing off more of his mangled appearance and alluding to the history he already has with the Caped Crusader in Reeves' new Bat-verse.
