The Batman had a phenomenal run in theatres, both critically and financially. As a result of the film’s success, a sequel has been confirmed, with Robert Pattinson and director Matt Reeves set to reprise their roles. While it’s too early to guess the plot of the future picture, despite Reeves’ doubts about the villain’s involvement, it’s safe to anticipate that Barry Keoghan’s Joker will play at least another minor role.

Batman’s Clown Prince of Crime makes his official appearance at the close of the film, teasing a team-up with Paul Dano’s Riddler. However, a deleted clip from the film revealed that he had a history with Pattinson’s Caped Crusader, implying that a rematch could be on the cards in the future.

Now, a previously unreleased design for Gotham’s most lethal villain has surfaced on the internet.

The Original Classic Look of Barry Keoghan’s Joker
Mike Marino, Batman’s prosthetic makeup designer, has provided new behind-the-scenes photos of Barry Keoghan’s Joker.

Keoghan’s Clown Prince of Crime’s original design was revealed through a sculpt of the actor’s head in his Instagram stories, portraying the character with a more classic Joker hairstyle:

Will The Joker from Batman Return in a New Look?

Based on the character’s initial design, it appears that his biological ailment is still present, but it hasn’t spread to other areas of his body, such as his hair. However, this design might still be employed in future franchise endeavors, possibly showing how the villain came to be.

While it’s unclear whether the Joker will appear in the already-confirmed sequel, there’s a good likelihood that Barry Keoghan will appear in the planned Arkham series.

During The Batman, Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne is in his second year of service as the protector of Gotham, and the movie establishes that he’s still learning the ropes when it comes to battling crime. For some fans, seeing the Batman take on the Joker so soon after his sequel would feel hurried, and it would be wiser to confront the pair’s difficult interaction in the franchise’s third picture to properly emphasize the Dark Knight’s evolution from the previous two films.

Whatever the case may be, it’s safe to conclude that the Joker has a bright future in the Batman world and that the two mortal adversaries will meet again in a meaningful fight down the road.

On major digital platforms, The Batman is accessible to stream.
