BATWOMAN Season 3 Midseason Promo Spot Reveals Poison Ivy and a New Version of Joker

A new promo spot has been released for the Season 3 midseason premiere of Batwoman and it puts a focus on the introduction of two major villains in the DC series. Those villains include new versions of Poison Ivy (Nicole Kang) and Joker (Nick Creegan).

When talking about this new version of Joker, Creegan offered some insight, telling TV Line:

"Marquis has a way with his words. He's very charismatic and charming. I think he draws people in with the way he's able to speak to an audience. In Episode 7, you see that when he makes that speech at the end and poses certain questions that make you wonder, 'Is he crazy? Or could I understand why somebody might feel the way he feels?' In later episodes, people will definitely be able to relate to some of the things he's saying. I don't condone any harm on other human beings, but in terms of his philosophy on treating people with mental illness fairly and not just treating them like a pariah, I think people will be able to agree with that part. Marquis is one of the most complicated characters in the series. I feel like my rendition of him is pointed towards making people think more deeply about mental health and awareness, and how we treat people with mental health issues."

"Fans have a lot to look forward to in terms of classic Joker memories. There are going to be certain situations, items, stories brought into the mix that the original Joker from the comic books has always had his hand on. Marquis will be tapping into certain things that will remind people of the original Joker. You can also look forward to him really giving the Bat Team a run for their money. The first episode after the midseason finale is going to be very intense and insane, and they're going to get a full dose of what Marquis has to offer. By the time we get to the end of the season, I think certain people's hair will go gray. It's going to be a stressful season for people who love the good guys."

I’ve been trying to get back into the series. While I enjoyed the first season, this second season has been rough for me to get through. I’m just not finding the story interesting. Have you been watching Season 2? If so, what do you think so far?

Batwoman will return to The CW on Wednesday, January 12th.
