Trivia[]
- In an interview with the magazine GQ, Keoghan revealed he'd initially auditioned for the Riddler, going as far as making a tape of him in the role and send it to Dylan Clark. Said video was heavily inspired by Alex DeLarge in the film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange, with the costume mirroring those worn by the character and his "droogs". Though unsuccessful, this helped secure Clark's attention and led to his casting as the Joker.[1]
