Harley Quinn The Animated Series tome 1 : The Eat. Bang ! Kill. Tour

Product Information

Livewire mentions The New Batman Adventures episode " Girl's Night Out" wherin she, Harley and Ivy team up. She already did so in " Journey to Love Part 4". At one point, Doctor Psycho quips that possessing Ivy while surrounded by the Trinity and Harley has the drama of a CW show except "if the cast were less hot". The CW makes live-action shows for DC and is known for casting talented and/or attractive actors while having a mixed reception towards other aspects of their shows. Mr. Freeze's intro in "Thawing Hearts" - entering from the shadows as his glasses turn on - is a visual nod to his typical entrances in Batman the Animated Series, best seen several times in "Heart of Ice," and the title card of "Deep Freeze." Slasher Smile: Ivy and Harley sport broad smiles of sadistic glee when they're about to drop Gordon's cop car off a highway.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Harley is more upset that Mr. Freeze put his wife’s small business out of business than his numerous crimes and the fact that he kidnapped the crew. After a good night, they get frisky on the hood of their car, while a hooded figure walks away: a trap has been set...Systematic Villain Takedown: In season 2, with the Justice League out of commission and Gotham in chaos, a group of villains composed of The Penguin, Bane, The Riddler, Mr. Freeze and Two-Face creates the Injustice League, sharing Gotham between themselves and freezing Harley when she poses a challenge to it. The first half of that season sees Harley going in a revenge quest by taking down each of them one by one. While she kills the Penguin, the others have varied fates, she takes the Riddler as prisoner, traps Bane in the bottom of a pit, Mr. Freeze sacrifices himself to heal his wife, and Two-Face is arrested by Gordon, with Harley having no part in his take down. Naturally, since this is DC and has both Batman and Catwoman appear. Selina breaks up with him, but she still wants to support him. Reel Torture: In "The Final Joke", Joker tortures Doctor Psycho by strapping him to a chair and forcing him to watch videos of feminist rallies.

From Roommates to Romance: Poison Ivy lets Harley move into her apartment after the latter breaks up with the Joker. Harley eventually gets Ivy evicted when the Shark Man member of her crew triggers the no pets clause on Ivy's lease, so Harley lets Ivy live with her and her crew at an abandoned mall. Starting from halfway through Season 2, Harley and Ivy's relationship turns romantic after years of friendship. By Season 3, they're now a couple and move into Catwoman's apartment together.

Tropes shown in this work:

Doctor Psycho is one of Wonder Woman's more serious threats, and was part of the inner council of the Society. Here, he's still one of the heavier hitters on Harley's team, but regularly gets shown up. Gordon's habit of Too Much Information continues, as the fellow police in the stakeout van do their best to ignore the spiel of personal facts pouring out of his mouth. His mentioning of ass boils while they're eating is unwanted.

Card-Carrying Villain: All of the supervillains, from the main cast to the Legion of Doom, actively embrace their status as the bad guys and make it part of their public image. Alfred Molina plays Mister Freeze. This isn't the first time he's played a scientist who loses his wife and becomes a supervillain. After Batman is unmasked as Bruce Wayne against Joker's wishes, he decides to use the opportunity anyway to complain about an electric car promised by WayneTech which he put a deposit down for that he hadn't recieved. Not Worth Killing: Harley tells her parents this after they sell her out to the mob's hit men and try to kill her to collect the bounty on her head. Evil Power Vacuum: Season 2's main conflict is that the remaining villains took over Gotham after Joker's defeat.

Cerebus Syndrome: The first several episodes are light, comedic, and mostly standalone; there is an ongoing story, but mostly the show is Monster of the Week-type fun antics as Harley builds her crew and makes plans. Once she joins the Legion of Doom, the show becomes far more serialized and much darker, and previously established plot points and characters return and convene to demonstrate a larger narrative they were building towards.
