SPOILERS for The Batman ahead, but to be fair, the movie has been out for a fair few weeks by now, so if you haven’t seen it by now, then that is on you.
For those still here, you’ll already know that the movie ends with The Riddler (Paul Dano) locked up in Arkham, only to discover a new friend in the cell next door… yep, it is The Joker (Barry Keoghan).
That is the first time we see this character in the cut of the movie that arrived in cinemas, but it turns out that there were other scenes filmed with Keoghan as The Joker, but they ended up on the cutting room floor.
The Riddler’s website was updated with three new riddles – see if you can get the correct answers yourself here – and if you get his three riddles correct, then you’re given access to the deleted scene, and who knows how long it’ll remain online…
Here is that scene in full:
“It’s our one year anniversary…”
As you can see, Batman going to The Joker for help in taking down another Gotham-based villain has a very strong Clarice and Hannibal vibe from The Silence Of The Lambs.
It also absolutely hammering home the fact that we can’t wait to see what this version of The Joker will get up to once he’s been freed from his shackles.
The Batman is still in Irish cinemas right now, and you can check out our full interview with Colin Farrell right here:
