The clip had been previously teased by the director Matt Reeves who posted a link where fans can solve three riddles before being able to watch it. However, it has since been shared online.
The scene sees Batman played by Robert Pattinson, face the Joker played by Barry Keoghan in Arkham Asylum. Batman seeks the Joker's help to find the identity of the Riddler who is played by Paul Dano.
Keoghan's incarnation of the villain can be spotted at the end of the film, which shows him having a brief conversation with the locked-up Riddler. Check it out below.
“What’s interesting is that the reason that Joker’s in the movie is there was actually another scene that was earlier", Matt Reeves said of the scene in a previous interview.
"And because the movie is not an origin tale for Batman, but it’s his early days, it really is an origin tale for the Rogue’s Gallery’s characters. And for me, I think [it’s] this idea that the Joker is not yet the Joker, but they already have this relationship".
Reeves continued, “The scene that was not in the movie, the scene that this is really the companion to, which is actually a really cool scene that will release at some point, it’s a scene where Batman is so unnerved because the Riddler is writing to him,” Reeves added. “And he’s like, ‘Well, why is this guy writing to me?’ And he figures he’s got to profile this killer".
“He goes to see another killer that he’s clearly had an experience with in these first two years. And this killer in this story is not yet the character that we come to know, right? So everybody’s in their infancy".
