The Batman star has a backstory ready to go when the Joker is needed

Barry Keoghan’s performance as the Joker proves that no blockbuster is ever truly safe from premature spoilers The Batman was revealed online well before the atmospheric reboot hit theaters, but that didn’t make the actor’s brief cameo any less impressive.

While there were many who criticized Matt Reeves for stepping into the Clown Prince of Crime under the cloak and robe in Robert Pattinson’s first-ever appearance, it wasn’t as if the Dark Knight’s nemesis played a major role in the story . If anything, it was just a hint of what was to come, as there was never much of a chance the Joker wouldn’t show up at some point.

Keoghan’s version of the legendary villain is without a doubt the most gruesome version we’ve seen yet, and you have to admire it eternal The veteran’s devotion to spending so long in the makeup chair for a single scene where his full face wasn’t even visible. We’re all expecting him to return for the sequel in development, and the fast-rising youngster already has plenty of backstory ready should he get the call, as he revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

“Of course I’d like another crack. I did a lot of backwork with him. If an opportunity arises, but they call and I have to respect that. Definitive. Definitive. Definitely because I have a few other things I’d like to bring with me. Actually, I have this little half-Moleskin book that I’ve written a lot in, and yes, I want to show people what that is.”

Although there are many perfectly valid criticisms, not all Batman Movie needs to include the Joker, Keoghan’s short filming time only served to whet the appetite so we’d be more than happy to see him again in a much bigger role.
