In the midst of promoting his next film, Bring Them Down, Barry Keoghan was interviewed by Variety about his return in The Batman II. As usual, Barry Keoghan has remained very evasive, and has repeated several times that he has no right to speak on this subject. However, his somewhat embarrassed attitude, and his excitement around this question, demonstrate that something is brewing. So there is a good chance that we will see Barry Keoghan again as the Joker in The Batman II. And that is excellent news.
