Via an interview with E TALK, Barry Keoghan was asked if The Joker (which he played in a THE BATMAN cameo) would show up in PART II. Here’s his answer…

I can’t really say anything about that. It would be exciting, wouldn’t it? To see the Joker come to life again. My smile says all, you know what I mean?

If I had to bet, I’d say it’s very, Very, VERY likely that we see more of BK as The Joker in THE BATMAN sequel.  In fact, I’m on record saying that these core supporting Bat-characters from the first film will be seen throughout THE BATMAN SAGA: Selina, Oz, and Edward Nashton, along with Gordon, Alfred, and Bruce Wayne, of course.  And let’s throw Ofc. Martinez into that mix because, well, he better be!

So far, there haven’t been any casting announcements — though I figure they will start soon after the first of the year.  Also, PART II was supposed to start filming around March of next year (2024), but I’m hearing it might get pushed to and commence around Summertime/the middle of the year.  Stay tuned because things are about to get really busy around here! – Bill “Jett” Ramey

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.
