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

    "Every ending is a new beginning."

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

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

    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. And you know, Gotham loves a comeback story. 
    Riddler: Who are you?
    Anonymous prisoner: Well, that's the question, isn't it? Riddle me this: the less of them you have, the more one is worth.
    Riddler: A friend.

    ...but rather, the blink-and-you-miss-it Easter egg left in the film:

    Text on screen that reads: GOOD BYE <?>

    In this scene, there's a quick flash of a URL: www.rataalada.com. If you click on it, you're led to a site that mimics the one Riddler sets up in the film.

    Text on screen that reads: <?>

    A reddit user — u/vengence22 — was able to crack one of the first codes you see on the site. They all correlate to important dates that are canon to Batman:

    After that, you're brought to this landing page:

    Screen on text that reads: [CLICK FOR REWARD] LOADING...46%

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

    something is coming #rataalada #thebatman

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

    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!
