BATWOMAN Actor Shares Proper Look At Arrowverse's Original Version Of Classic Batman Villain The Joker

One of the actors from the third season of Batwoman has shared a behind-the-scenes photo revealing the Arrowverse's take on The Joker in all his glory. Take a look at the Clown Prince of Crime here...

Batwoman has introduced its own version of The Joker, though it's not exactly a comic-accurate take on the Clown Prince of Crime. A newly created character, Marquis is the half-brother of Gotham City's current Craped Crusader, Ryan Wilder. A chance encounter with The Joker as a child left him with brain damage, leading to the emergence of a psychotic Joker-like personality prior to the midseason finale. 

In episode 12 of the show's third season, "We're All Mad Here," that moment was revisited in a flashback. As is so often the case with big-name characters in these DC TV shows on The CW (and even HBO Max's Titans, for that matter), we only saw The Joker from behind, though the Arrowverse's Clown Prince of Crime did appear somewhat comic accurate.

Now, Kendrick Jackson, the young actor who played Marquis, has shared a behind-the-scenes shot of the uncredited actor who brought The Joker to life in the Arrowverse. 

While we doubt this was ever going to make it into Batwoman, it's certainly not a bad design, and is faithful enough to not cause the same sort of backlash as Jared Leto's take in Suicide Squad. Of course, even this new "Joker" played by Nick Creegan hasn't exactly been embraced by fans, and we can only assume Warner Bros. has real plans for the villain elsewhere in the DCEU.

Take a look at this photo from the set of Batwoman in the Instagram post below:

@TheManWithoutFear - don't even know why they made it look so good. He's clearly just gonna be in the flashback scene to explain that guy who becomes batwoman's "joker".

@Dredd97 - No love for Joaqin? I thought that movie was overrated to be honest.

@UnderBelly - mad overrated. I liked him in it, and other movies he's done he's great. But Joker was not for me. I've already seen Taxi Driver

@UnderBelly - he didn’t look like the joker , that movie is really good but it isn’t a joker movie it’s just a movie about mental illness with the thin veil of being the joker
UnderBelly
UnderBelly - 2/24/2022, 1:35 PM
@campblood - Agreed. I think they used the name and loose connections with the Wayne family to give the story more coverage and audience. last 20 minutes was what it was all about.

@UnderBelly - I just liked that it shines light on the massive problem this country has with mental illness, I’ve been suffering from visual and auditory hallucinations that appear as “ghosts” since I was 5. My parents did nothing and put my on autopilot to raise myself. They ruined my life and mental health, now I can’t socialize and and barely hold my relationship with my brother and friends. I was hoping that movie would have been a wake up call for a lot of people

@campblood - Yeah, speak your truth bud. the movie that opened my eyes on that was A Beautiful Mind. I always see more and more on repeat viewings. I hope you're in a place that you have full insight to it and can live a fulfilling life.

My feelings while reading the article:

“Oh wow. That’s actually a really good look. No gold grill. No ‘Damaged’ forehead tattoo. What movie is this for? Batwoman?! Ugh. They’re wasting a pretty great looking Joker on a C-tier CW show?”

Looks pretty much what Joker should look like. Faceshield included. Too bad it's on a CW show that I assume not a lot of people watch.

As for the current Joker on the show, I like how it sounds on paper. But as I am one those who doesn't watch the show, I can assume it's only good on paper.

@bkmeijer - I still watch and you are right as it really sounds good on paper, but the writing just leaves a lot to be desired with the character and the other players for that matter. Solid "C" quality show. Sometimes it gets a little better, but more times than not stays primarily in that lane.

Well it definitely has that CW "quality" to it.

Corny. A prime example of why "slavishly comic accurate" should be saved for Heroes on Ice, or Amusement Parks. The dude looks kind of like young John Travolta, which is funny.

All that effort for a character that we likely won't get a clear shot at.

This looks good actually, it is a shame that we will never se Joker in it.

Looks too clean but overall nice

Not enough to get me to watch the show again because i know some of the other stuff they have done but this is a decent effort for a Joker

I'm surprised they fully designed him given they weren't going to fully show him, green wig and the purple coat is probably all they needed for a decent shot from behind. It looks cheap, but also more than fine for its intended purpose.

I gave up on the Arrowverse, if you can even call it that anymore since they axed the Green Arrow. It started going way downhill after their Crisis event. All that was really left that held some interest was The Flash, but I eventually just gave up on that, too. The whole CW universe is just constant blueballing. All set-ups and no payoffs.

I was very surprised to see such a comic accurate design, they did a great job in bringing him to life there.

Green hair? Checked. Chalk-face due to the chemicals? Checked. Purple coat? Checked. I even like his gloves.

It's a very detailed and faithful look to just be used for flashbacks...
