So much appreciation for Joey Batey
I'm with you! He brings that Dandelion we love into the show as much as he can, regardless of how the writers keep fucking it up by not staying faithful to source materials. More on reddit.com

I really loved Joey Batey as Jaskier/Bard in Season 2
That purple leather trenchcoat with the big vents is a perfect more modern version of his goofy Shakespeare gear from the game. More on reddit.com

Jaskier and Joey Batey are one and the same in my mind.
Book Dandelion is more witty, sarcastic, and competent. Batey definitely, COULD pull off book Dandelion, he's got the skill as an actor. The shows writing just turns him into a clown. More on reddit.com

The Witcher's Jaskier Has A Real-Life Band So Dark It'll Completely Change How You See Him
December 7, 2024 - Since the show's first season, Jaskier's presence guarantees a good episode of The Witcher, and there's no denying Jaskier's songs are phenomenal. The real-world troubadour behind the lute, though, is even more talented; English actor and musician Joey Batey has been a performer since childhood, and has an incredible list of British film and TV projects as well as a stint with the Royal Shakespeare Company to his name.

r/witcher on Reddit: So much appreciation for Joey Batey
February 12, 2022 -

I just wanted to leave a post of appreciation for Joey Batey's interpretation of Jaskier; be it the more nuisance-puppy-dog version of s1, or the slightly more cynical, darker, but still funny and endearing version of s2.

The man did his homework, read the books, and we will never know how much he manages to influence the writing - especially when the script fails him frequently, like in s2 (then again, the pathos and generic writing failed ALL CHARACTERS, where is the dry, dark wit of the books?!).

My bet is, he lightly improvises the script Jaskier closer to the Jaskier from the books. He is a low-key operator in this, not as outspoken as Henry Cavill (for one it is a career break, the other is a star, they differ in personality) - but I have a huge amount of appreciation for this fellow NERD.

And he is the bard OF the show, not just the bard ON the show. The level of musical and lyrical talent of this charismatic man is mind-blowing. And he can sing beautifully.

So yeah, just this. So much love. Joey Batey, you need more appreciation here. Who's with me?

(Edited for clarity. My mother tongue is Polish, please forgive any errors. I love these books)
