Here Is Your Much-Needed Explainer On "The Batman" Post-Credits Scene

This weekend, the highly anticipated The Batman hit theaters and captivated audiences!

Warner Bros.

I watched the film for the plot, aka Zo? Kravitz on the same screen as a clowder of cats.

And I, for one, enjoyed all 176 of the minutes Matt Reeves blessed us with.

And you know what? I could watch 176 more minutes!

ICYMI, Matt Reeves took a page out of the MCU playbook and gifted us with a post-credits scene. And no, not the ~veiled~ hint that the Joker could make an appearance in the next film...

Anonymous prisoner: What is it they say? One day you're on top, the next, you're a clown. Well let me tell ya, there are worse things to be...Don't be sad! You did so well.

Riddle me this: the less of them you have, the more one is worth.Riddler: A friend.

When you click for the reward, you're brought to another cypher that appears to have been cracked by Twitter user @itsmtf:

"You think I'm finished but perhaps you don't know the full truth. Every ending is a new beginning."

Warner Bros.

PERHAPS we are 46% of the way to finding out what that new beginning is...??

Needless to say, I will be checking the site daily for updates!
