Despite his minor cameo role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, Barry Keoghan reveals how he landed the role of the new Joker.The Irish actor, known for his roles in The Banshees of Inisherin and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, revealed that he heard there might be an opening for the role of the Riddler. While no one asked Keoghan to audition or encouraged him to send in a tape, Keoghan took the initiative and sent in a self-tape of him walking down a hallway in slow motion without speaking. “I just made it up,” Keoghan said in an interview with Esquire. “I wanted to make it Kubrick-y: symmetrical, the X on the back, the square doorframe, everything square. I just wanted swag to come across. Swag and endearing. It was just me giving my idea. And then I’s lIke, I’ma send this in!”In the video, which has been on the actor’s Vimeo since 2019, Keoghan is dressed in an all-black outfit with green suspenders and a bowler hat. Channeling Malcolm McDowell’s sinister character from Kubrick’s classic, A Clockwork Orange, Keoghan strolls down a narrow hallway. While Keoghan did audition for the Riddler, a role that a producer for the film revealed to have gone to Jonah Hill but eventually went to Paul Dano, Keoghan’s agent called the actor to tell him that Reeves wanted him to play the Joker.RELATED: The Batman Sequel Could Finally Bring a Dangerous Villain to the Big Screen
