10 Most Paused Deleted Scenes In Movie History

7. Batman Meets The Joker - The Batman

Though we do catch a fleeting glimpse of The Joker (Barry Keoghan) in Matt Reeves' The Batman, he's depicted entirely in silhouette, to the point that it's near-impossible to make out any of his distinctive facial features.

However, Reeves did later release a surprisingly lengthy deleted scene in which The Joker has a Silence of the Lambs-esque interaction with Batman (Robert Pattinson) in Arkham Asylum.

Ultimately it's probably for the best that the scene was cut, given that it's superfluous within the scope of the story and would've only added to the film's near-three-hour runtime, but it does nevertheless allow fans to get a somewhat clearer look at this universe's Joker design.

Sure, he's still veiled behind frosted glass, giving Reeves a little leeway to retool the design in a future film, but we can more-or-less see what Keoghan's Joker looks like here.
