The Batman’s epic saga is one that is worthy of going down in history as a remarkable Dark Knight adaptation. Packed to the brim with villains, plotlines, tyranny, and despair, Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader was as full of potential as a fledgling bird on the edge of a cliff – it was either soar or sink. But the ingenuity of Matt Reeves shined bright when he tied every aspect of the film together beautifully, and the narrative, instead of coming off as overwhelming or hyperstimulating blended in the plot elements in a perfect balance.

The Batman – Part IIPromises an Epic Joker Plotline
Robert Pattinson has only begun scraping the surface of greatness and his career has already seen such masterpieces asGood Time,The Devil All The Time, andThe Lighthouse.The Batmancomes to the actor at a time of incredible opportunities in the world of CBM dramas. Just as Pattinson begins his superhero journey with DC, his on-screen alter-ego, too, spreads his first formative wings in the underbelly of Gotham, essentially leaving the character’s canvas entirely blank and full of potential.

One of these markers of potential is contained within Barry Keoghan’s Joker. Although barely having any inkling of a plot in the first film, the criminally insane Clown Prince of Crime did make an appearance at the very end, setting up a narrative arc that may well pit the Bat against his battiest archnemesis in the coming sequel.
The Potential Rise of Barry Keoghan as Joker
Matt Reeves’The Batmanhas already promised a sequel worthy of the original run. The coming saga that will serve as an Elseworlds story has already promised the potential return of the Riddler and the Penguin. And given how both Paul Dano and Colin Farrell have been engaged with their own projects (Dano with his Riddler origin comics and Farrell withThe Penguinspin-off series), it seems unlikely that these two will be brought back for a Round 2 when the Joker remains perfectly available to get involved with the story.

Barry Keoghan, who has already shown off his weirdly affable chops as the Riddler (with a cane and a bowler hat) and pulls off an unnervingly terrifying Joker in the miniature peek that he delivers into his rendition of the legendary villain, is primed to take on a darker and more sensational role after his incredible run withEternalsandThe Banshees of Inisherin.
As for the Riddler, if he is already paired with the Joker within the maddening walls of Arkham Asylum, the two might even walk out hand-in-hand out of the institution’s rotten wrought-iron gates as they plot the epic takedown of Gotham’s hero.
The Batmanis now available for streaming on HBO Max.
