The Batman Director Says Barry Keoghan Hasn’t Yet Become the Joker

The Clown Prince of Crime has yet to make his debut in Gotham City in The Batman canon. In the film, a brief appearance can be seen of Barry Keoghan as someone who is clearly the Joker. With the villain incarcerated and bearing various disfigurements, the film even hints at a history between this Joker and Robert Pattinson’s Batman. But that doesn’t mean Batman has already faced the Joker necessarily, as this criminal hasn’t quite gotten to that point yet.
