Barry Keoghan Talks Joker in The Batman Sequel: “Call Me, DC. I’m Free!”

Buy Me A Coffee

Barry Keoghan, our favorite Irish charmer with a penchant for playing unsettling characters, is here to remind us that he once cackled his way into The Batman as the Joker—and he’s ready for round two if someone would just pick up the phone.

ICYMI, Barry popped up in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in the 2022 hit starring brooding vampire-turned-vigilante Robert Pattinson. His Joker moment was enough to send fans into a frenzy, dreaming of Barry joining the ranks of Heath Ledger, Jack Nicholson, Jared Leto (we’ll circle back to him later), and Joaquin Phoenix as the infamous Clown Prince of Crime.

So, is Barry painting his face and perfecting his maniacal laugh for The Batman sequel? Well… not so fast.

“It’s iconic,” Barry said, clearly using “iconic” as his Joker buzzword. “The people before me… you know, just iconic performances.” Translation: “Do you realize how terrifying it is to follow those guys? Especially after Heath Ledger practically made the Joker untouchable?”

When asked if he’d take another stab at the role, Barry went full humble-but-hopeful mode. “If the opportunity came about, yes, I’d love to explore it. But, uh, no one’s called me. My phone is as silent as Gotham’s streets after Batman shows up.”

Despite the ghosted vibes from Warner Bros., Barry’s still fondly reminiscing about his brief gig. “I had a great time,” he said, casually brushing over the part where he spent hours in makeup to look like he fell face-first into a vat of acid and self-loathing.

Rumor has it, Barry could even get his own Joker spin-off series, much like Colin Farrell’s Penguin waddle into the spotlight. But until then, Barry’s just here, subtly reminding us that he’s ready, willing, and waiting.

Your move, DC. Don’t leave this man on “read.”
