Instead, Reeves told IGN that the reference point for Keoghan’s Joker was the David Lynch film The Elephant Man.
The Batman recently showed off its Joker in a deleted scene that featured more of actor Barry Keoghan in the role of the “Clown Prince of Crime.”
Reeves went on to say that this version of the Joker is unlike the comic book version or the Joker that Heath Ledger portrayed in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight.
It also isn’t impossible that there is some story that comes back where Joker comes into our world.”
