I don't normally pay attention to John Campea, but I do agree with his take on this. Reeves should have either put both Joker scenes in, or cut both of them out. On its own, the scene with The Riddler was a bit jarring and it wasn't a particularly well-written scene anyway. Just called attention to itself. Maybe if the Arkham scene was still in the film, that last scene would've worked better, but I 100% agree with Reeves' decision to cut the scene. So here we are.
I know we are all just a bunch of bored fans wanting something to talk about, but Keoghan has literally played the character for 7 minutes' worth of screen-time - 5 minutes of which were cut from the film. Anybody crowning it as the "best Joker ever" or writing it off as a "Ledger imitation" are not giving it a fair and honest shake. There is simply not enough data to go off of yet.
I really like what I've seen and heard thus far, but I'm still firmly in "wait and see" mode.
