I understand why they cut this scene, it would have immediately diminished the threat and impact of the Riddler, knowing a better scarier villain is right around the corner.

"Maybe he's a fan of yours?". I like how the Joker seems like he is trolling Batman, but instead, he actually gave Batman the right answer straight away.

"You're so much more fun" is such a Joker thing to say. I love how most of Batman's main villains don't want to kill him cause thanks to Batman, they have a sense of purpose in their lives

How do we know if he’s “damaged” if he doesn’t have “damaged” tattooed on his forehead?

I love this interpretation because it gets one thing right - Joker is someone who understands Batman on a ridiculously deep level.

I love how you can feel that the Batman is somewhat unnerved by the joker, funny considering Joker's the only person who isn't unnerved by Batman

"You're terrified because you're not sure he's wrong, you think they deserved it, huh?" These mental games Joker plays are what makes him one of my favorite characters

I love how each actor is taking Joker to just another level..first it was Heath then Phoenix and now I think Barry would do an incredible job. The saga of Batman is in safe hands..thanks to Matt Reeves.

This makes the joker scene that made it into the movie so much better knowing that he's already seen riddlers psych profile and knows EXACTLY what to say and what buttons to push to manipulate and recruit him. Matt Reves put on a masterclass 👏

"You're not sure he's wrong, huh? You think they deserved it, huh? " This quote hit the spot... The silence in Batman. Like wtf, it really demonstrates why these two are such awesome characters. The line between them is so thin! I love it Well, that had some likes, thx I guess (What I meant to say is that the joker can easily guet into batmans mind because deep down batman kinda understand and have simpathy for the reason's why the joker and the ridler are the way they are, thats only my pov doe)

The most frightening thing about this scene is one has to wonder how terrible Joker's crimes were in this universe for him to not only be locked in Arkham. Not only locked behind a glass cell to talk to Batman but also to be handcuffed on top of all of that. I mean we see how terrifying Riddler is here, I don't wanna even imagine the brutality of this Joker. His voice is so soft here which shows his manipulative nature of sounding so calm and toned back when you know his violence is just waiting to be unleashed. Also I would like to point out something that gives chills down my spine as well. This Joker is so good at reading Batman even though he is wearing a mask and staying (trying anyways) as calm as possible so if he can read a vigilante with his identity hidden so well just imagine how quickly he can read everyone else.

I love how disgusting he looks and how Batman seems on edge around him for once

I like this take on the Joker... he genuinely comes across like a demented serial killer. Considering the darker nature of this Batman film, I think his take is a perfect fit for whatever they have brewing

That last laugh at 4:56 is one of the best I’ve ever heard, imagine hearing that at night with this in your house

Batman meets the Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, and Carmine Falconi in this film. All dangerous people but here you can tell just by the way he’s acting, not taking his eyes off and zero focused in, THIS is the most deadly individual he’s ever and probably will ever meet.

Omg the end is amazing. "You're not sure if he's wrong. You think they deserved it". Wow, that speaks so much to his character throughout the film from telling Selina her friend didn't make good choices, and to Gordon when he said: "he crossed a line". This scene should have been in the film.

This scene is perfect as a deleted scene, if it was in the movie it would've stolen the attention from the riddler, but releasing it as a deleted scene made it canon in the universe and we can expect more also the last minute is just... amazing i think barry has a lot of potential for the next films

R.I.P heath ledger, this joker actor had that little hint of the legend in his voice and laugh

I loved how the Joker immediately gets complete control over Batman.

An amazing scene that I'm so glad was cut. It would've distracted us from Paul Dano's Riddler, but I genuinely can't wait to see what they do with this Joker. Barry Keoghan's Joker has a lot of potential.

I cannot help but love his laugh so much. To me, it sounds like the kind of laugh one would hear from a child, mischievous but full of innocence, yet, coming from the joker, the laugh shifts to being very sinister and eerie.

I've never been so uncomfortable watching a character in a movie. I usually love the joker but this guy is just so deeply unsettling. Seriously The Batman is one of the best movies ever made and I'm not surprised this scene is just as intense and dramatic.

I think this guy has nailed the Joker. Great job, I hope we get to see this guy reprise his role.

That immediate giggle he does upon opening the file. It's so spot on. Sends chills down the spine. You immediately know who he is.

I love the way they’re doing the joker, a true manipulating, intelligent, psychopath

barry keoghan is perfect for this role in my opinion. i've been a fan since he was in Dunkirk. he played the part of being disturbing and unsettling so well in The Killing Of A Sacred Deer and he is definitely one of those actors that is so chameleon like and can just adapt to any role. however, he is just so good at playing those off putting, disturbing, and almost scary roles! for anyone who is not familiar with him, definitely check his other movies out!!

This is definitely the best Batman/Joker relationship we have seen on screen yet. Can’t wait to see how they keep developing these two and their relationship together. They are similar yet so different. Joker understands Batman maybe better than he understands himself, but wishes they were closer and Batman would slip to his side. He loves messing with Batman and really feels like they have a deep connection. All while Bruce is trying to walk that line. Fight for justice but not become a deranged killer fighting for the wrong reasons like Joker.

From this look, It's freaking terrying. He looks so sadistic, bloody, empty inside, a full psychopath and that he can get inside Batman's head very easily, which is my favorite part. I also love that he kinda has the looks of Arkham City's Joker.

I love how they portrayed the joker as a psychotic genius rather than just some insane guy with make up on.

Both Barry and Heath are the perfect actors to play Joker 🃏

One thing I love is how Joker is blurry for Batman, but Batman is crystal clear for Joker. Batman has yet to understand Joker, but Joker has already figured out Batman.

They definitely went for the "Fell into a vat of chemical" origins for this Joker. Honestly, I think this is a pretty great Joker from what this scene alone shows!

Looking back, this Joker is actually very smart. He accurately profiled the Riddlers off of the file, so he knows a lot about Riddler before he comes to Arkham

I've actually liked all the interpretations of Jokers laugh (even elements of Lego's take) but this interpretation of the laugh is the most chilling. Crescendo and almost light-hearted as a child. Extremely scary

This is a very good scene, and this looks like a terrifying adaption of the Joker, but I do agree with it being removed from the final film. It would really distract from the plot and would take away from the later Riddler interrogation scene. While I do agree that the Joker has been a bit overused and other Batman villains should get the spotlight, I would love to see more of Barry Keoghan's Joker.

Heath's performance was and still is incredible - but this actually looks good. Different style and different take of the Joker. Can't wait to see this in the next or third movie.

The best thing about this movie is that Reeves used a balance of CGI and practical effects. I worked on the set during Covid (Liverpool). The work and detail that goes into a movie this big is breathtaking. Kudos to Reeves for using the story of the ‘Halloween party’. A different ‘multiverse’ take on Batman, maybe the Flash will run into a different multiverse?

He went from spider man in a parody film to joker in a real Batman film, what a transformation

This is a perfect Joker, taken right from the comics. He is extremely clever and perceptive. A true genius. Batman doesn't trust him, but he knows he can help him solve his cases, because of his ability to understand others. In fact, he his the only one who truly sees Bruce for who he his. He strips him naked, forcing him to face his darkest parts, the ones which he hides from himself. Also, I love the fact that Joker was flirting with Batman. He always does that in the comics as well.

J: Oh. Present? Almost our anniversary, isn't it? B: There's a serial killer. I want your perspective. J: Our first anniversary is paper. What makes you think I come so cheap? B: I thought you'd be curious. J: You think I get off of this stuff? B: Don't you? J: You have pictures? His violence, it's so baroque. He likes little puzzles, doesn't he? So meticulous. Like he'd been planning this his whole life. I know who he is. B: Who? Who is he? J: He's a nobody. Wants to be somebody. The mayor. The commissioner. He's got ambition. B: You think his motive is political? J: Oh no, no no no this is very very personal. He feels these people have all wronged him. Probably goes way back. Unhealed wounds, stolen lunch money. B: Why is he writing to me? J: Maybe he's a fan of yours? Or maybe he's got a grudge against you too. Maybe you're the main cause? Any theories? B: Not yet. J: Really? You're normally so ahead of the curve. But something is different this time. This is very upsetting to you. B: Let's get back to him. J: Why? You are so much more fun! B: I'm not here to talk about me. J: What are you here to talk about? B: I want to know how he thinks. J: You know exactly how he thinks. Have you read this file? You two have so much in common. Masked avengers. So he's even more righteous. You're afraid he makes you look soft. B: You're wasting my time. J: Okay! Can I tell you what I really think? I think you don't really care about his motives, whether he loves or hates you. I think somewhere, deep down, you're just terrified, cause you're not sure he's wrong, huh? You think they deserved it, huh? You think they deserved it!

I think he’s going to do a really good job. The standard for the joker role is set so high. Also to be honest some of the dialogue in the new Batman seems a bit corny but somehow he’s playing it off extremely well, he totally embodies the vision

The brilliant Barry Keoghan

The psychological component in this movie is amazing, the mind games. This movie was incredibly well done, I can’t wait for the next one

He gives me the psychotic vibes that heath ledger gave joker but this already feels more realistic serial killer vibes than almost any other joker

Really wished they included this in the film, and not make a deleted scene but there's no flaw in this film at all. They nailed it. Just wished they put this as a bonus. By far the greatest Batman movie ever, and by far the most realistic and modern one as well. If I were to rank this, it would definitely be ranked first out of all of them. Going to keep things short and simple, and not try to spoil it for anyone that hasn't watched it yet as it only came out this year but I watched this on Christmas and fully on the 26th just like every year when my brother and I pick out a movie to watch on Christmas since its always been a tradition of ours. Like this is honestly such a masterpiece, there's no flaw with it. It's the most realistic version of the actual storyline version of Batman that they were able to portray properly, realistic, and accurately. The movie literally tells us the actual story of "Batman"/"Bruce" storyline from how it began and how his legacy started out as well as grew from a very different perspective in comparison to all the other Batman movies. Like even the cast were amazing, especially Pattinson where he successfully managed to depict both Bruce as well as Batman perfectly well, same thing with the rest of the cast, like Carmine who was played so well, same thing with Catwoman especially the riddler. Even the Batman and Commissioner duo was amazing, and one to watch. Goodcop, and batcop. Such an amazing soundtrack, a perfect, realistic, modern storyline that fits in with today and isn't overreached, or unrealistic, great cast with amazing potrayls of there characters that had no flaw, great effects, and emotion. Like you would always be on edge, and on your seat thinking as well as wondering what was going to happen next. You were literally focused on the movie at all times, esepcially with the amazing detail of the storyline that they nailed, and the attention in detail. Its literally a masterpiece and such an unforgettable movie, theres honestly no flaw with it and is one of my most favorite movies that I've ever watched on Christmas with my twin brother who never fails with his picks. Truly worth it, as well as a must watch if you wish to understand it or to see for yourself. Honestly can't wait for its sequel, trilogy if there's going to be one, and the future of this Batman. It's the best version of Batman as well as the most realistic Batman yet. One that isn't over the top, overreached and is just like the rest of us - having emotion, a past etc. - 12.26.2022

The dialogues are great in this scene because the younger versions of batman and joker are almost like friends. You always go for a friend's advice when you feel stuck and they always give you insights about u coz they see you better than u do yourself. The best quality about Barry Keoghan is that you never really know what he is thinking but he will always seem friendly at first.. patiently waiting for the right moment to finish you. I love this!

I actually think this silence of lambs style scenes between these two should become a recurring thing in future movies, less is more, his character has a menacing and twisted enough presence in this setting, it’s perfect

This is so Silence of the lambs, it shares a lot from Clarice/Lecter "relationship". This is brilliant, i just hope this Batman project continues with Pattinson, Reeves and the rest of the cast.

Very neat scene, but I'm glad it was cut. The Riddler was FINALLY given his proper due as the lead villain in a (very) serious live action Batflick, for once. 🙏

Barry Keoghan has recently intimated that we haven't seen the last of the Joker as played by him. I truly think he's got an excellent potential to be the primary villain in the third Batman movie with Robert Pattinson as the Dark Knight.

I have nothing negative to say about this film. Truly worth it, and can't wait for the future of this Batman trilogy!

I honestly think they made the right call to remove this scene because then there would be no point to hide his face in the end when Riddler is in Arkham Asylum

To have Joker look somewhat distorted through the glass, gives it an edge to know only slightly what he looks like without seeing the full image. Genius.

Matt Reeves did what I always wanted. He actually made the characters dark and what they really are. *Physcopaths* He made Riddler a stone cold sociopath which is what he is. & I loved every minute of it. Matt Reeves needs to do more with the Batman universe he's taken such an adult take on the characters and applied them perfectly to cinema. Heath Ledger will still & always be the true OG Joker though. Not one man on earth so far has even come close to his performance of portraying the joker in Dark Knight.

I'm coming back to this video over and over again. I can't wait for the next movies!

This makes me so excited for this Joker. Only issue I had was it was sometimes hard to understand him through the glass.

This version of the joker looks amazing. He actually looks scary. For the very little we see him.

Only a character like The Joker could turn BEING psychoanalyzed into DOING the psychoanalysis so quick and smoothly. Genius.

I'm really glad we only get him briefly in the movie, as he wasn't part of that story, but I'm really looking forward to Keoghan's Joker as the primary antagonist of a movie.

This scene has that vibe that heath gave when he met the mob, and they're calling him crazy. And joker is like "no, no i am not" A sense of calmness yet chaos lurking beneath. I hope we see him again, later.

I’m so surprised this was released. It’s a great scene.

That laugh gives me chills

I abosutely love how for most of the scene the Joker is joking around with Batman, saying stuff like "first anniversary is...paperssss" or "Maybe he's a fan of your's?", up until 3:10, where until that point the music was somewhat calm, but very eery, then all of a sudden the low bass comes in and ramps up the eeryness as soon as the Joker shifts the conversation to a serious one with "Or maybe he's got grudge against you too...maybe your the main course" all with a smile. Just a genius way to add suspense, very well done. Sucks that it wasn't in the movie, but I'm glad it's here to watch.

I love how this is finally the look of a guy who fell on acid and lost it. Like I looked at him and went, YUP THAT OUGHT TO DO IT. Also is amazing that what Barry did in a 5 min deleted scene is literally way better than whatever Leto did in a wholeass movie.

Yeaaahhh Barry made this look easy. I was honestly on the fence with him playing Joker due to being unable to imagine what the performance would look like but after this, 100% on board. Dude knocked it out of the park.

I like this demented joker. Takes a darker twist. Like ledgers joker but darker and I feel like he would make his crimes less silly. Like the "let her go" or "magic trick" scene from TDK.

4:20 tell me that didn't bring back chills of the greatest joker that ever played the joker, if you don't know then leave now.

For the people in the comments, the director has said that the "joker" here hasn't yet developed his joker persona and declare himself as the clown we know yet

Heath ledger’s performance as the joker is without a doubt one of the greatest joker performances ever. Mark Hamill‘s voice work on Batman the animated series is also exceptional. This performance however as short as it was could very well be an extension of heath ledger‘s performance. I can certainly understand why it was cut from the Batman movie I just hope they return to this in a sequel or perhaps a prequel. For what amounts do about four minutes of screen time this joke was performance was truly unnerving, terrifying, and completely fantastic!

I think it was a really good cinematic choice, to have the camera never fully focus on joker

I get Silence of the Lambs vibes from this scene. And can we talk about that glare from Batman at the end?

Chills….literal chills on the back of my neck. Love the teasing, not letting you get a full shot of him, pieces of a puzzle but Batman sees him fully. The relationship is established, now it begins to grow, to evolve. Master class of filmmaking.

I love how this Joker is serving as a more hannibal lector type character and is like, " Batman, he's literally you, you seriously don't see that?". Brilliant!

"his violence is so baroque" best line

Damn the laughs and noises at 1:48 are like straight out of a video game joker. ICONIC i m sold.

Just seen the movie. I've been watching batman since it was in black n white. I have to say the best take on batman I've seen to date. I loved how it was more investigative. Also loved that we saw batman much more than we did Bruce. Hands down amazing job. Seeing this scene makes the wait oh so much harder.

Different take. I dig it. Going off the scars it seems like they use the Ace Chemicals story. And I love that he shows all the burns and disfigurement. Showing the bond early in between the 2 of them is awesome. I'm in. Let's do it.

They should use this at the beginning of the next movie, it would set it up perfectly.

His laughter sounds unique and cartoonishly accurate.

Once again, Matt Reeves goes above and beyond. I believe this is going to be the most comic book accurate Joker of them all. His laugh, his psychotic sadistic flare, and most importantly his relationship with the bats. I am so excited to see a full film with this interpretation of the Joker.

Inspirations I see: Heath Ledger's smile, Jack Nicholson's acid burns, Hannibal Lecter taunting his interviewer. Loving it all.

His laugh and face (pause at 1:53) this gave me both realism and creepy joker vibes, I keep rewinding cuz I never seen a joker looking like this

So much more sinister than whatever Jared Leto was trying to do

The darkest Batman ever made. I loved the lighting, music and specially the writing of the script and character sketching was marvelous in the movie.. ❤️❤️❤️

Wasn't sure of the actor at first since he didn't look particularly intimidating, but oh boy now that we see him, I think he's my favourite

The way he pauses between his words, and takes very unsettling deep breaths really makes me remember Ledger's portrayal.

Batman walking out like ‘I don’t know what I was expecting’

The writing for this scene was pure genius.

It would’ve been weird to see Dano’s prison scene after seeing this one…so it’s good that it was cut. With that being said - I love the scene and Barry’s Joker look. Would love to see more of him.

This is some of the best Joker laugh I've heard, almost on par with Mark Hamill's.

"You think I get off on this stuff?" "Dont you?" He didn't say no lol

He’s like a mix between Heath Ledger and Cameron Monaghan and I love it

I love that this is a “year one” Joker, you can picture his look evolving later on

Barry looks very promising as the Joker here, but the character as a whole feels a little overused. Personally I'm thinking the studio should let him sit out for a few films, and give the spotlight to other villains in the rogues' gallery, I feel that Victor Zsasz/Hush/Hugo Strange would work in this iteration of The Batman.

4:31 Joker: "I think somewhere, deep down, in my heart.. I still love you." Batman: "eeeeeeeeeEEEEEHHHHHHHH"

He looks a derived version of Jack Nicholson's Joker, but acts like Heath Ledger's. Can't wait to see him in getting more time screen in the future!

The Batman renewed my love of film. Haven’t seen a movie that moved me like this in too long. I know it stuck with me because I’ve been outlining a sequel since I first saw it. Mr Freeze has always been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I’ve got a Mr Freeze heist/hostage story coming along. I couldn’t care less about Mr Freeze after seeing this.

I can't imagine someone hitting the dislike button!!! Damn that kid can act. The joker is usually brilliantly cast and the character brings out the best him them.

Oh my God, that laugh is so diabolical! Love it!

This joker looks like he's been through the ringer and I love it.
