Batman the beginning
“The Batman” Director Confirms That Yes, That’s The Joker You may know Keoghan from his scene-stealing work in films like “Dunkirk” and “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” or more recently over in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Druig in “Eternals.” And now, he’s The Joker. Yes, the Riddler is stuck in containment next to this universe’s version of the Joker played Barry Keoghan, who had previously been announced as playing a GCPD officer named Stanley Merkel. (Towards the end of the movie, he starts to understand that some of his actions might be a tad bit selfish and also that his style might be inspiring the wrong kind of person.)

There is also a question that we cannot go into without spoiling the “The Batman” ending, but that could illuminate where the character is headed (and who he’ll be facing off against). Is the tone too serious or should they have gone back to the Bat-nipples or pop art title cards that say “POW!”? Where does Robert Pattinson’s characterization of the Dark Knight fall amongst the various iterations of the character? And can you believe that that is Colin Farrell under all that make-up?

“The Batman” is now out in theaters and streaming on HBO Max, and it is surely prompting strenuous debate.
