The Batman: Deleted Arkham Scene

It works as a short film, but as part of The Batman, I am glad it got cut. Are we just gonna get a 5 minute scene in the middle of the film involving Batman's greatest villain without any buildup or backstory? Was it just gonna be a 5 minute scene and that is it.

I think it would had been very distracting, I am also not a big fan of the Joker in the end of the film too.

Anyways, it is a cool deleted scene, but it doesn't change the movie at all.

7/10.

This joker is probably the most balanced combination between comic accuracy and realism. We are talking about a joker that probably fell into the chemicals and that's why he is looking like that. We need a genius mind, freak, clown prince of crime, neither a supermodel nor a gangster nor a sophisticated guy like the previous versions. He is something new and promising by a very talented actor.

Why WB, honestly I always wonder what this company does in the DC world, this 5 minutes was great, the actor's acting was so great, also this deleted scene set the stage for legendary events. Screw you WB.

I think the reason people are quick to judge these movies when they come out is because they are expecting a performance compared to their own favorite versions of Batman or the Joker. As long as there is new storylines coming out, there is going to be a new take on all the characters. If you read the comics then you know there are different worlds and every character is different then the last one. I was skeptical about Patterson playing Batman. And while I'm not a fan of him being Bruce Wayne I understand his character is more human and as a young detective just starting out so it works! I think this is the first time they got the dark atmosphere right since the 1989 Batman movie! This is the way they all should have been shot!

I know this is only a 5 minute deleted scene, but I fell in love with Barry Keoghan as I watched. He seems like he'd be a great Joker just like Paul Dano was a great Riddler. I could tell (even tho it was blurry) by the facial expressions and movements that he really could pull it off. I waited and waited for the most important part of being joker and held my breath hoping he'd nail it...the laugh. The end came and we are shown his smile which was fantastic (great makeup) and then Barry laughed. I loved it. The cackling, steadiness, volume, pitch...just loved it all. I'd very much like to see him as joker more in the future.
