TheBatman director Matt Reeves reveals that a deleted scene would have introduced Riddler's friend earlier in the movie: ' I didn’t think that within the larger narrative it worked, that it was necessary. But it’s a really cool scene...' 🚨 SPOILERS 🚨
According to director Matt Reeves, an earlier scene featuring Barry Keoghan’s character was cut from The Batman. Keoghan’s character, referred to in the film’s credits as Unnamed Arkham Prisoner, has been revealed to be an early version of Batman’s notorious archnemesis, The Joker. Prior to the film’s release, it had been speculated that Keoghan had been cast as The Joker, but news reports and leaked set photos seemed to confirm that he was instead playing GCPD officer Stanley Merkel.
“There is a scene that I would love the audience to see that I didn’t put in. Not because anyone asked me to cut it, but because I didn’t think that within the larger narrative it worked, that it was necessary. But it’s a really cool scene with that same unseen prisoner in Arkham. There was an earlier scene where Batman, because he’s getting these cards and letters from the Riddler, and he’s thinking, ‘why is this guy writing to me? I’m supposed to be anonymous and he’s putting a lens on me.
