Reeves has stated that he made a cut of the film which removed the scene between the two villains, however, the issue with it was that audiences never got to see how the Riddler reacted to Batman pulling “things back from the brink.” For Reeves, without the scene, the Riddler’s story arc does not have a conclusion.
Reeves has admitted that while many fans have asked if this is a set up for a sequel to The Batman, he never saw it that way.

Despite cutting this scene, Reeves decided to leave the final interaction between the two villains in the film. This has since been confirmed, as Reeves released a deleted scene in which Batman visits the Joker (played by Barry Keoghan) in Arkham to ask for help in catching the Riddler.

Close to the end of The Batman, there is a scene in which the Riddler is shown locked in Arkham Asylum in a neighboring cell to an obscured stranger who offers to be his friend.
