Jaskier Actor Says There's "Something Batman-Like" About The Witcher Season 3
The third season of Netflix's The Witcher is almost upon us and chances are some of you have mixed feelings about what's to come from the adaptation. Perhaps the comments of a departing Henry Cavill and Joey Batey, who will continue to play Jaskier beyond the upcoming season, will help sway you as the latter has described elements of it as being “Batman-like”.
Both Cavill and Batey spoke with Netflix ahead of season three's arrival, a conversation in which Geralt's political neutrality was heavily discussed. “Geralt has seen how politics work out. A lot of it’s incredibly selfish. No matter which side anyone’s on, they’re doing the thing for them,” Cavill explains.

“There’s something quite Batman-like about it. Being above the political machinations of the world,” Batey adds, remarking that people are the real monsters as opposed to some of the beasts Geralt has been tasked with taking down during seasons one and two. Not only some Batman parallels to be drawn there but also similarities between The Witcher and The Last Of Us. Barely a clicker in sight during season one as people were the ones responsible for holding up Joel and Ellie's journey across the country.
Batey goes on to say the political atmosphere has shifted massively for season three, providing the biggest test yet for Geralt as he tries to remain neutral. That might prove difficult as the Witcher now has something to fight for, needing to protect Ciri from just about everyone. However, that more or less everyone is trying to get their hands on Ciri may well mean there isn't a side for Geralt to fall on other than his own.
