“Jason Momoa just gave a better performance than Barry Keoghan”: Fast X Fans Brand Jason Momoa’s Dante as Crazier Than The Batman’s Joker
Anti-hero characters like the Joker and such have a way to make an impression on viewers and fans. More than the heroes, these days the villains with their dark and twisted sides can draw people’s attention much more than the morally always right Heroes.
And after the release of the latest film Fast X, people pointed out the great performance by Jason Momoa as the villain of the story. Following this, many have compared him to Barry Keoghan who played the role of Joker in The Batman and some people are seemingly of the opinion that Momoa did a far better job in the role of a villain. However, some do not think the comparison is a fair one.
Fans Think Jason Momoa Gave A Much Better Performance of A Villain Than Barry Keoghan
Following the release of Fast X, people got to watch the performances of the actors including Aquaman star Jason Momoa in the role of a villain. His performance is being praised by a lot of fans who even think that he did a far better job at the villain role than Barry Keoghan’s Joker. The comparison was brought up due to the similar characteristics of both Joker and Dante Reyes.

Like Batman’s Joker, Reyes is also a psychologically disturbed sociopath. And these roles are considered difficult in terms of their perfect execution. But now some people think that Momoa’s portrayal of Reyes outperformed Keoghan. One Twitter user wrote,

I mean, Keoghan gave one of the worst performances, so not hard.

He's probably my favourite villain in the FAST franchise.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that thought he gave off joker vibes..

He was the joker version of fast and furious

However many others do not think the comparison to be a fair one. As Momoa got to execute the role of Danter Reyes for a much longer time than Keoghan got to do with his Joker in last year’s The Batman.
Keoghan only had 3 minutes of appearance because the main villain of the film is The Riddler played by Paul Dano.
