The Batman (Matt Reeves, March 4, 2022) Movie • Page 149

What’s puzzling to me is given the popularity of the Joker why was his look revealed in a deleted scene?

I hope it’s because Reeves use of him will be little to none and he will focus on other villains

 

Honestly, this take didn't do anything for me. I don't like the look that they're going for, and he felt too low key.

Maybe that's because my favorite take on the Joker will always be Mark Hamill and that version loves to chew the scenery, but I loved Ledger's take too and this still feels off from that. I don't get a sense of "wow, this guy is crazy".

Then again, it is just one scene.

 

I like that it actually looks like a guy that fell in a vat of chemicals.

 

“He's got this congenital disease. He can never stop smiling. And it made Mike and I think about — I was talking about The Elephant Man because I love David Lynch. And I was like, ‘Well, maybe there's something here where it's not something where he fell in a vat of chemicals or it's not the Nolan thing where he has these scars and we don't know where they came from. What if this is something that he's been touched by from birth and that he has a congenital disease that refuses to let him stop smiling? And he's had this very dark reaction to it, and he's had to spend a life of people looking at him in a certain way and he knows how to get into your head.’"

 

Hmmmm!!!

 

I definitely would've rather had this scene than the "Bruce learning about what happened to his parents" side quest

 

I mean throw it in the film. It’s already 3 hours, what’s another 5 minutes.

 

I just don't see where it would end up where it wouldn't feel wedged in.

 

Yeah you’d need more than just that scene for it to fit into the movie

 

Gordon walks into a room where some bad shit happened, looks at Batman "Jesus Christ"
Batman looks at Gordon back stoically
Gordon: "I think it's time to consult...him."

cut to: that scene

gimme my paycheck please

 

it's better than having just the stinger but they simply shouldn't have included either scene

 

it's better than having just the stinger and they simply should've included both scenes

 

This scene should’ve been in the movie, the scene that was in the movie should’ve been post-credits

 

100% agree that this scene should have been in the movie. I liked the Arkham scene at the end too so I'm fine with both being in it but if I had to choose one it definitely should have been this one

I love TikTok for these videos

It’s a meme video about the riddler being a streamer

 

Scene definitely should have been in the film. I think the take on him visually could work, although I worry it will be too grungy overall. Wonder how much he will be used in the sequel.

as far as the dialogue, I thought it was solid. The voice and laugh might need some fine tuning.

 

I like the scene because it makes the world broader. It feels comicy* in that these villains aren’t sequential but instead a gallery of threats. Just throw me into the depth of Gotham/Arkham…I’ll figure it out.

 

This was solid. Truly dreadful wig on Pattinson though.

 

Finally saw this over the weekend and wow, I was not disappointed.

 

I mean, there was nothing in the actual movie to identify that, so it's not like they couldn't still make it Venom if they wanted to go that route in the future.

They probably won't, but still, the option is there.

 

Sure, concept art isn’t canon necessarily. But it does show the original intent was that it’s not Venom.
