As a result of the domain name being “seized” by the Gotham City Police Department, a website associated with the marketing effort for Matt Reeves’ The Batman underwent a fresh alteration. In the beginning, the “rataalada” website was a private page where fans could communicate with The Riddler (Paul Dano), work out puzzles, and win little prizes for answering the villain’s queries. The puzzle game is now unavailable due to a bogus GCPD seizure, but a quick modification to the website could be a hint that Warner Bros. is getting ready to reveal some information about the Batman universe.
Long before The Batman hit theatres, fans discovered the “rataalada” website after deciphering the coded messages on the movie’s official posters. The website would frequently be updated with new puzzles for followers to complete, awarding them with movie snippets and images. Fans discovered the website existed in the fictional world of The Batman and was used by the Dark Knight (Robert Pattinson) to communicate with the Riddler once the film was ultimately released. That could mean the game is over, but a week ago, a new update to the website gave fans access to a five-minute deleted sequence featuring Barry Keoghan’s Joker.
Fans no longer see anything when they visit the “rataalada” website; instead, a legal notification informs them that the domain has been taken by the GCPD in response to a warrant filed by the city’s District Court. The fictional takeover of the game may indicate that the “rataalada” game has ended, but it may also portend that one of the series spinoffs presently in production will soon have a release date. Reeves worked on a television programme on the GCPD prior to the debut of The Batman. Since the GCPD still plays a significant role in the plot of that programme, which later became an Arkham Asylum production, the “rataalada” website may be reused to continue updating fans on Reeves’ area of the DC universe.
