After Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and Jared Leto, the Eternals star Barry Keoghan is now officially the newest cinematic Joker, and he already made his debut in recently released Matt Reeves’ movie The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson in the titular role.

The Joker’s appearance was briefly teased at the end of the movie in a scene where he was locked up with Paul Dano’s Riddler, the main villain of the movie. Although his face wasn’t clearly revealed, the evil laugh revealed who that mysterious character was, and later Matt Reeves confirmed that was indeed Joker, played by Barry Keoghan.

Fortunately, we won’t need to wait for the sequel to get a clear look at the Joker of the Batverse. Now, twenty days after the movie’s premiere in theaters, a deleted scene was recently revealed, and it shows us Pattinson’s Batman visiting Keoghan’s Joker in Arkham Asylum, looking for advice in catching a serial killer, the Riddler. This intense, five-minute scene ends with Batman leaving a visitation room and Joker laughing with his signature, maniacal laugh.

Co-written and directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman now plays in theaters, and it will be streaming on HBOMax on April 19. The movie received praise from critics and the audience for its screenplay, performances, and dark tone. The movie grossed $606 million worldwide so far.

The Batman is starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, as well as Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell. Farrell played Penguin, a crime lord who is set to get his own spin-off series on HBOMax. The series already received a direct-to-series order, so now we’re waiting for the additional information on when can we expect it to premiere. The sequel to the movie is also inevitable, and we can’t wait for it to be officially announced!

He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
