THE BATMAN | Batman/Unseen Arkham Prisoner Scene Released!

6522

UPDATE: Well, there it is!  Just as I was working on the original story (see below) AND trying to figure out the riddles, the scene was released on YouTube!  Check it out below and listen to the new BOF Social Hour where we discuss this scene.


 

According to Matt Reeves (via a February 2022 interview with VARIETY), the scene follows Batman’s discovery that The Riddler has killed the Gotham City police commissioner and has left another card addressed to The Batman. Seeking insight from another killer that he had taken down a year before, The Batman visits The Joker in Arkham.  “Almost our anniversary, isn’t it?” The Joker asks Batman in the scene.   “You realize that they have a relationship,” Reeves said, “and that this guy obviously did something, and Batman somehow got him into Arkham.”

“I thought he would be really insecure about this and he’d probably want to find some way to get into the [Riddler’s] mindset, like in MANHUNTER, said Reeves.  “This idea of profiling somebody, so you can predict his next move.” – Bill “Jett” Ramey

 


ORIGINAL REPORT: Matt Reeves is suggesting that we head on over to RATAALADA.COM to solve some more riddles.  Looks like the endgame will either be an image of Barry Keoghan as the “Unseen Arkham Prisoner,” or perhaps the entire cut scene between him and Batman will be posted. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
