During a time when the DCEU was struggling to satisfy the fans with their offerings, Warner Bros. sought the help of filmmaker Todd Phillips, who createdJoker,the superhero blockbuster of 2019 that took the world by storm.
Everything that the film had to offer during it’s run time was appreciated by the audience to an almost unprecedented degree since each scene was so exceptionally well-executed. And of course, just like with any other film, there were many scenes that didn’t make the final cut.
But in the past, Phillips revealed that there were more than what people expected, which they can also expect to never see with their eyes anytime soon.

Speaking about this withCollider,The Hangoverdirector claimed that there were indeed a lot of scenes that were cut from the final product.
But as far as fans getting a chance to watch them, they were closer to zero if not non-existent. Phillips said that the reason thosedeleted scenes will never make it to the public eyelike DVD and Blu-Ray releases do because the film he made is what he wanted to show the world and nothing more. He said:
“No, there’s plenty of deleted scenes, yeah, but they’re not going to be on the DVD. I don’t do deleted scenes. Deleted scenes are deleted for a reason. I have a thing against extended cuts and I kind of hate deleted scenes. The movie that exists is exactly the movie we want it to be— I feel like all that adding deleted scenes do is confuse it.”
