Speaking of Riddler, it seems we can probably rule out appearances from enemies like Hush, Holiday, and Calendar Man in a future sequel, since Reeves’ version of the Prince of Puzzlers sort of draws a bit from each of those characters, and we don’t necessarily need to see another serial killer running around Gotham right away (that would also rule out someone like Victor Zsasz). As the mayor of Gotham once said, “The clown will keep.” Let him and Riddler continue to become friends in Arkham and perhaps tag-team the Batman in a third or fourth film.

So it will be critical that he be different.”īut not yet, okay? We’ve had three different Jokers running around these last few years (if you count the Gotham TV version alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Jared Leto), and there are many other villains to bring out before falling back on that familiar grinning face. I can’t say whether we would do him specifically in the movies or not…The idea is that what you’re seeing is a pre-Joker Joker actually.

Reeves himself told Den of Geek about his Joker: “His appearance at the end of the movie is really more contextual. Yes, we know that one of the final scenes in The Batman finds Riddler making a new friend in Arkham Asylum who is clearly meant to be the Joker, and we are resigned to the fact that Reeves - like all filmmakers who spend time in Gotham - will eventually want to offer his take on the greatest ongoing conflict in all of comics. Should Reeves stick with this approach for future films - and we’re pretty certain at this point that he’ll be making at least a couple more - it’s time to turn our attention to which other figures from Batman’s classic rogues gallery, often cited as the best in all of comics, can be introduced in future films within the aesthetic that the director has established. In line with that thinking, the new film deploys down-to-earth versions of classic villains like the Penguin and Catwoman - returning them to their gangster and burglar/wrong side of the tracks roots respectively - while interpreting the Riddler as a truly chilling Zodiac-like killer. It’s also a refreshing change of pace after watching a different iteration of the Bat spend time in the Snyderverse fighting against and alongside godlike beings from Earth and space. The Batman, as a result, is a “grounded,” “realistic,” and “gritty” - to throw around those buzzwords one more time - take on the Caped Crusader’s travails in Gotham City, which is certainly in line with Nolan’s approach as well. There’s virtually none of the fantastical carnival aspects of the Burton/Schumacher films and far less of the propulsive action pyrotechnics of the Christopher Nolan-directed Dark Knight trilogy. If you’ve seen The Batman by now, it’s plain to see that director/co-writer Matt Reeves’ vision for the Dark Knight is perhaps the darkest we’ve seen onscreen to date, drenched in the brooding atmosphere and morally ambiguous tones of noir while constructed on the spine of a classic detective story.
