Aside from the official theatrical release, The Batman also has numerous minor scenes, temporarily cut to avoid excessive runtime. Among them is a segment that intrigues viewers when director Matt Reeves reveals, directly related to Joker - the most famous villain in the DC universe.
Initially, The Batman's ending was set to feature the appearance of Joker, portrayed by actor Barry Keoghan. The scene unveils a portrait of the character from the darkness of the Arkham cell, only revealing scars on the mouth and green hair.
According to director Matt Reeves, this cut had to be toned down to heighten suspense in the later part of the movie. Robert Pattinson's Batman is still dealing with the Riddler, then he will understand and clash with the infamous Joker. At that time, Joker will reveal to Batman about the Wayne family's past, opening up countless other surprises.
Allocating screen time to Joker is also a timely decision, allowing the audience to focus more on Riddler as the main antagonist. Because the ultimate villain Joker has a very high allure, expected to have more charisma and performance than actor Robert Pattinson.
Before the news of The Batman cutting a great scene, DC fans regret it heavily but still agree with the crew's decision. Because hiding the Joker character makes The Batman unusually captivating, with a special detective element that keeps the audience eagerly awaiting the next installment.
