The Batman (Matt Reeves, March 4, 2022) Movie • Page 148

First answer was obvious. Couldn’t move on after that haha.

 

The rest of the scene is in the thread

 

beaten to it

 

Alright, I’m sold, way better than the scene at the end.

 

Full scene is on YouTube if you'd prefer that.

 

Eh

 

That’s a way better use of him than the weird way he was shoehorned in.

 

Definitely would have made that ending scene go down better, but I understand why they cut it.

 

I need my subtitles, I feel like I missed half of what Joker said.

 

I thought it was just me.... I couldn't understand shit even with my good headphones on.

I'm very glad that wasn't in the movie. Felt way too long and this movie def didn't need an extra 5 minutes.

 

The joker as a leper is an interesting take.

 

decided to watch Lego Batman and what a perfect movie

 

Awesome scene. I understood p much everything he said. Much better than what they went eith

 

This is hilarious, I love this guy

 

Holy shit, he nailed it. That was fucking incredible.

 

4K version

 

Meh

 

I'm on the fence about it. Definitely can see why it was cut.

 

Should have been Calendar Man.

 

Like Barry as the Joker, but yeah, the movie is better without that scene.

 

Extremely close to Ledger's inflection and delivery. Intentional I assume

 

Why bother you might ask

 

That is a hell of a take on the character. Somewhere between Ledger and Arkham.

It would have ruined the movie for me and I wish they had cut all of it - not because it’s bad. It’s so good, to me, that it would have ruined the rest of the film.

 

I actually wish they’d put that scene in the movie — exploring Arkham and visiting Joker would’ve been a lot more interesting of a side-mission than the 15-20 minutes of mobster exposition we got IMO. And in a movie aping Fincher it would’ve been cool to have the “detective talks to a psychopath to understand the psychopath he’s hunting” homage in there.

Don’t even think this scene would feel like a cheap trick in the context of the movie either. Putting him at the end was always going to feel like “studio-requested sequel set-up”, regardless of Reeves’ intentions. This scene in the middle of the film would’ve felt more like “the Joker exists in this world and obviously will be back, but we’re not dangling it like a carrot at the end because we know you dummies will eat it up.”

As far as the character itself, I’m on board. I’m not like “holy fuck now I really need to see a sequel with this Joker”, but I trust Reeves and Keoghan to do something awesome with it. I kinda dig the whole approach of Batman having a previous relationship with Joker after having caught him in their early hero/villain days.
