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

Warner Bros.

I watched the film for the plot, aka Zoë 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.

Warner Bros.

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. 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.

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:

"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...👀

Warner Bros.

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