Will Barry Keoghan Return as Joker in “The Batman 2”?

The most telling portion of Barry Keoghan’s brief but potent performance in The Batman arrived in an unusual way—a deleted scene that was revealed a few weeks after the film premiered. Sure, we briefly met Keoghan’s unnamed Arkham Asylum Inmate towards the end of the film, after Batman (Robert Pattinson) has finally nabbed the Riddler (Paul Dano). Alone in his cell, the Riddler’s having a meltdown until his friendly, happy-go-lucky neighbor in the next cell calms him down and promises him bigger things are in store.
