Warning spoilers for batmanif you have not seen it, do not continue reading!
In the latest movie of the DC superhero we could see the beginning of a new universe that will lay the foundations for the cinematographic future of the company that owns Batman. That is why much was expected. And not only how this reboot was going to be, but how they were going to introduce the key characters in the world of DC, like the Joker.
The main synopsis introduced us to two antagonists of Batman, Riddler and the Penguin, who are the main enemies throughout the plot. We see the rise and fall of Riddler and how the Penguin becomes the main leader of the Gotham mob.
As we anticipated in Cinemascomics, there will be two series that will come directly from this universe created by Matt Reeves, one will be about the Penguin and the other about Arkham Asylum. «What was seen about him (the Joker) in the film is a preview and a demonstration of the world that is being created. These were Reeves’ first words about the killer clown.
The importance of spinoffs
matt already has explained several times that the Joker that was seen was not the real or definitive one. He is a character that is in creation since he is not something that already exists by itself. Since he is someone who is under construction, you should not expect something 100% definitive.
We have already seen that a movie about Batman can be made without the main enemy being the Joker and it seems that this is going to be common in this batverse created by Matt Reeves and with Robert Pattinson as the protagonist.
In short, it is not yet known if we will see the Joker as an enemy of Batman in the future, what we can expect is to see him in the Arkham Asylum series as the protagonist or with a relevant role.
