The Joker – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Sat, 26 Mar 2022 17:01:15 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png The Joker – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 The Batman Deleted Scene with Barry Keoghan’s Joker Officially Released https://www.geekfeed.com/the-batman-deleted-scene-with-barry-keoghans-joker-officially-released/ Sat, 26 Mar 2022 17:01:15 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=64592 Before The Batman even premiered, word was going around that Barry Keoghan (Chernobyl) was set to have a cameo as an early version of the Joker. Though we did get him in the end, there was actually an exchange between him and the Dark Knight in the middle of the film.

Now the scene has been officially released, and you can see Matt Reeves take on an earlier Clown Prince of Crime:

The scene is essentially an ode to Silence of the Lambs where Batman (Clarice) asks the Joker (Hannibal Lecter) to profile a serial killer. It gives us a look at the dynamic between the two, and a good handle on this new Joker’s attitude all-in-all.

While we’ve had several versions of the Joker through the course of decades, Matt Reeves said that his take on the character here is more inspired by The Man Who Laughs; in a sense that the Joker’s smile comes from a genetic disease.

I haveto say, I wasn’t all up for Keoghan’s Joker in the movie, but seeing him stand against Batman here, with the grotesque makeup and mind games, I would say this would be the creepiest rendition of the character yet. I’m honestly bummed this scene got cut because just having Joker in the end kind of feels like a cheap set-up for a sequel.

For now, you can catch The Batman showing in theaters. Rumor is going around the movie hits HBO Max sometime next month.

]]> Has Robert Pattinson’s Joker Already been Cast? https://www.geekfeed.com/has-robert-pattinsons-joker-already-been-cast/ Tue, 14 Dec 2021 11:15:25 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=62894 A lot of Bat-fans are excited to see Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight clash with the Riddler, but one villain is considered to be the ultimate Batman nemesis—The Joker. We don’t have news on the Joker in the film, but some new test screening rumors believe that he could be appearing in the movie next year.

As per THR, a test screening has been held for The Batman, with one actor being at the middle of it. Here’s what they wrote:

“Multiple sources tell us that Warner Bros. has been testing two different cuts of The Batman, one with a certain actor, one without. And the final test screening occurred last week, with the decision now made as to which version the studio likes, says one source.”

No details have been revealed on who this actor in the test screenings is, but word had been going around the past month about Barry Keoghan (Eternals) being cast as the new Joker; though we don’t have official confirmation, fans think that WB is deciding this early on who will be Pattinson’s version of the Clown Prince of Crime.

If anything, the presence of the kids in the face paint in the previews could have been a teaser for the Joker (like the Joker Gang in Batman Beyond), but Matt Reeves could very well go in another direction. I guess part of the fun of the Joker is that he doesn’t have any definitive origins, so writers can always get creative.

Catch The Batman when it hits theaters on March 04, 2022.
