Barry Keoghan Shares His Riddler Audition That Got Him the Joker Role in THE BATMAN

Barry Keoghan, who played Marvel’s Druig in last year’s Eternals, as well as The Joker The Batman this year, has made his mark on the comic movie world. Although his screen time was minimal in Matt Reeves’ take on the Dark Knight and The Joker wasn’t even this film’s central villain, Keoghan’s take on the character really made a mark. Fans loved what he created and are hoping to see him front and center in a sequel, but as it turns out, the audition video he sent in was aimed at getting him the Riddler role.

The Riddler was the villain in The Batman, and he was played brilliantly by Paul Dano. Keoghan tried to get in on that, but when Reeves saw his audition, he decided to point the actor in another direction. It all worked out, as the movie was a huge hit, but Keoghan decided to let fans take a look at the audition he originally made. It’s really more of a clip of him walking around, giving off a style and vibe. He doesn’t read lines or anything, so it’s not super interesting, but it is kind of cool to see. Watching it, it definitely makes sense to see why Reeves saw a bit of The Joker in there.
