Matt Reeves was talking about a The Batman deleted scene during his interview with IGN.
So, here is the spoiler, The Joker is in the movie and he’s being played by Barry Keoghan.
Reeves opened up about this new version of the Joker and he also spoke of a deleted scene between Batman and Keoghan’s Joker in the movie.
It really did sound fascinating.

Here’s what he had to say about this Joker deleted scene in The Batman:
What’s interesting is that the reason that Joker’s in the movie is there was actually another scene that was earlier. 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.
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. 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. So in the comics, these characters often declare their alter egos in response to the fact that there’s a Batman out there. And so here, we have a Joker who’s not yet the Joker.
Honestly, I really do love the sound of this scene and I really hope they include it in the movie’s Blu-ray release.
