Batwoman's Joker Actor Reveals Advice Jared Leto Gave Him
Batwoman actor Nick Creegan reveals he received some helpful advice about playing the Joker from Jared Leto. Creegan joined the cast of Batwoman season 3 as Marquis Jet, the half-brother of hero Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie), who had a childhood encounter with the Joker.

For many years Jack Nicholson's version of the character in 1989's Batman was considered a quintessential depiction of the Joker and now both Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix have received Academy Awards for their portrayals of the character. Jared Leto, on the other hand, has not received the same warm response for his portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime. Leto played the Joker in 2016's Suicide Squad and reprised his role forZack Snyder's Justice League where the actor came in for additional photography to film scenes that were not part of the original cut.
