A tiny detail in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman's delet🔜ed scene featuring Barry Keoghan's Joker might be the key to the plot of The Batman 2 – or HBO's new Arkham Asylum-focused spin-off series.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The five-minute scene was first revealed via The Batman's , which asks users to solve three riddles. When the answer to the final riddle is unlocked, the deleted scene appears, ꦉfeaturing Robert Pattinson's Batman visiting The Joker in Arkham Asylum.

During their tense conversation, Batman slides a file folder containing information about Paul Dano's Riddler. Joker combs through the folder, turning over pages and photographs, before a frustrated Batman ta𓆉kes it back.

Twitter users were quick to🌌 point out a small but important detail hidden within the scene: when Batman first hands over the file, there's a paper clip keeping the papers and photographs together. When he takes it back, the paper clip is gone. Joker took the paper clips.

What could this mean? Most likely escape. It's possible that Joker will use the paper clips to pick the lock on his handcuffs in an opportune moment and break out of Arkham Asylum. It's also possible that this will serve as a main plot line in The Batman's planned sequel, or HBO's upcoming GCPD (Gotham City Police Department) spin-off series that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recently changed its premise to focus more on the world a▨nd characters within Arkham Asylum. The psychiatric prison is known for housing high-profile villains like t♐he Joker, and has spawned several Joker-centered comics, video games, and graphic novels.

Now that the scene has been released, hopefully director Matt Reeves will give us more details in the near future. He 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:previously explained to Total Film why t🐼he scene was left on the cutting room floor.&n♏bsp;

"It was just one of those things where, in the course of the movie, what that scene was doing, other scenes were also doing, and so we didn't need the scene. But as a standalone, that scene i💖s very eerie and creepy and cool," Reeves said.

The Batman is in th✤eaters now. If you're all caught up, check out🐭 our ultimate collection of guides to the movie right here:
