Barry Keoghan says a funny thing happened on the way to playing the Joker in the new Batman <\/em>film. <\/p>\n “The Joker, that was funny how that happened,” he related in an Esquire interview. <\/p>\n He heard there might be an opening for the role of the Riddler. No one asked him to audition. No one encouraged him to send in a tape. But he sent in a tape which fetaured him walking down a hallway in slow motion without speaking. <\/p>\n “I just made it up. I wanted to make it Kubrick-y: symmetrical, the X<\/em> on the back, the square doorframe, everything square. I just wanted swag to come across. Swag and endearing. It was just me giving my idea. And then I’s like, I’ma send this in!”<\/p>\n As it turns out, The Riddler role went to Paul Dano. Keoghan instead got The Joker, joining the long, colorful line of players in the role that started with Cesar Romero. <\/p>\n The Barry Keoghan version of the Joker has been visible so far only briefly in the 2022 movie The Batman <\/em>and on YouTube in a deleted scene with Robert Pattinson.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nMust Read Stories<\/h2>\n
