On the morning of this Thursday, March 24, Matt Reeves finally released the deleted scene with joker on TheBatman. The fans had a chance to see what it looks like Barry Keoghan playing this character and the truth is that we all want to see more about it. If the scene is so good, why Reeves decided to remove it?
In an interview with IGN, Reeves explained that this scene would help the viewer understand that the arc of riddler it had already come to an end, and the city was free from danger. He wanted to give the audience a chance to enjoy the calm before the storm, so adding to the joker so hastily would have shaken this idea a little.
“What you’re actually seeing is a Joker before he’s the Joker. The reason I kept this scene, even though I cut it, is because it was important to me in the end. Experiment with this scene for a while. We put it to the test, and it helped us to put an end to the Riddler’s story, and to know that Batman was able to put an end to his plans.
But we also had this idea that now that the Falcone mob was over, there was a moment of hope, but also a power vacuum that Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals would want to fill.”
not his own Reeves knows if the Joker will return for the sequel to batmanand his presence in the film was only meant to imply that this version of the hero had already faced some of his most dangerous villains.
Publisher’s note: I think Reeves has a point, and it would be great to see more of the Joker in a sequel, but Batman has a wide rogues gallery that they can explore in the future. We still don’t know which ones will appear in this second part, and we will have to wait to see what Reeves decides to do.
