In ‘The Batman,’ there is one moment in particular that has everyone talking. This pivotal scene between Riddler and another fan favourite villain completely sets the stage for a ‘Batman’ sequel. SPOILERS!
The Riddler and Carmine Falcone are Batman’s principal antagonists in The Batman, but one critical sequence appears to reveal Batman’s next adversary in a likely sequel. After wreaking havoc on Gotham, The Riddler is apprehended and sent to Arkham Asylum, where he meets a fellow Arkham inmate. Despite the fact that we never see his face, every Batman fan knows who this inmate is: The Joker.
“One day you’re on top, the next day you’re a clown,” the Arkham inmate adds, implying that he is The Joker in a big way (or will become him very, very soon). “Gotham likes a comeback tale,” he continues to Riddler.
“Well, that’s the question, isn’t it?” The Joker says when Riddler asks who this intriguing fellow prisoner is. Through the prison door, a dark glimpse of The Joker’s disfigured face appears. The scenario closes with The Joker’s psychotic laugh reverberating through Arkham’s halls, with Riddler joining in.
At the end of ‘The Batman,’ who was the Joker?
Who is The Joker in The Batman? That is the burning question on everyone’s mind. Irish actor Barry Keoghan, best known for his recent performance of Druig in Marvel’s Eternals, is the new Joker.
With good reason, his position in The Batman has been kept under wraps for a long time. The part of Gotham’s Clown Prince of Crime has been coveted by actors such as Heath Ledger, Jack Nicholson, Jared Leto, and Joaquin Phoenix. If Warner Bros. intends to make more Batman films starring Robert Pattinson, this is the ideal approach to set up the sequel.
Barry is credited as “Unseen Arkham Prisoner” rather than “The Joker” in the credits. During DC Fandom in August 2020, the 29-year-old was revealed to be playing another character: Office Stanley Merkel. The cast list for The Batman’s YouTube teaser announced Barry’s casting. Stanley Merkel is Jim Gordon’s companion in the comics, and he is finally slain by Hangman. There has been no official confirmation from the director or Warner Bros. on why Barry was given the name Stanley Merkel at first.
The Director of ‘The Batman’ Confirms the Joker
Barry’s “Unseen Arkham Prisoner” role is a “proto-Joker,” according to Batman director Matt Reeves. He revealed that two scenes with Barry as the upcoming Joker were shot, but one was deleted from the final version. Matt discussed the deleted sequence as well as the motivation for this version of the classic villain.
“What’s interesting is that Joker is in the film because he was previously seen in another scene.” And because the film isn’t about Batman’s origins, but rather his early years, it’s all about the personalities of the Rogue’s Gallery “Matt clarified the situation. “I think it’s this notion that the Joker isn’t quite the Joker yet,” she explains, “but they already have this relationship.”
“The sequence that wasn’t in the movie, the one that this is really the companion to, it’s a scene where Batman is so frightened because the Riddler is writing to him,” he continued. He wonders, ‘Well, why is this guy writing to me?’ He also believes that he needs to profile this assailant.”
All of the characters, including Batman, are “in their infancy,” according to Matt. “In the comics, these individuals frequently reveal their alter egos in response to the existence of a Batman.” As a result, we have a Joker who isn’t yet the Joker,” he explained to IGN. The Batman is now showing in theaters.
