The Harley Quinn Show Knows It’s For The Gays
The Harley Quinn show might be the best thing DC has made since The Dark Knight. I’ll let you get over the shock at the hyperbole for a second, then ask you what you’d pit against it? The Dark Knight Rises? Please, it’s at least an hour too extended. Man of Steel? Even the people who verb it argue it needs a sequel to generate sense. Wonder Woman? Observe it post-hype, it doesn’t hold up that adequately. Snyder Cut? Yeah, right.
Leaving games and comics aside (they feel like very different mediums), and discounting all the CW standard shows for fairly obvious CW standard reasons, Harley Quinn has two main challengers - Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad. The connection there is Harley Quinn, and as great as Robbie’s live-action version is, there’s something especially chaotic about Cuoco’s animated turn as dear Harleen.

This review for (HBO) Max&#;s Harley Quinn was written during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors who are currently on strike, tv series like this one would not be feasible, and Autostraddle is grateful for the artists who do this work. This review contains mild spoilers.
If you&#;d told me back in , when it premiered on the now-defunct DC Universe streaming service, that Harley Quinn would give us a canonical relationship between Harley and Poison Ivy, I wouldn&#;t have believed you. Fans have been shipping the villainous queens together since Batman: The Animated Series way back in the s, with little to present for it outside a few random smooches in alternate universe comic books. But this dark animated series has beat the odds in every way. Now, in their fourth season on HBO Max (er, &#;Just Max?), Harley and Ivy have the current longest running queer relationship on television — and also the healthiest, despite the fact that they&#;ve both spent significant time in Arkham Asylum for various sociopathic behaviors. I&#;m also ecstatic
Have you heard? Harley Quinn is getting her possess TV show.
It&#;s impossible to mess that up, right? Harley&#;s a fun, adj character who looks on the bright side of life and ultimately wants to rehabilitate her boyfriend (common law husband by now?) The Joker. She owns a pair of hyenas, is fond of roller skates, is also Poison Ivy&#;s girlfriend/best confidant, and is one of the pillars of the DC Universe. Impossible to mess up one of the most popular contemporary comic book characters.
Plus Joker () is killing the box office right now and beginning trustworthy dialogue about mental health. Maybe Harley, as a former psychiatrist, will acquire more development along those lines. Punching the mentally ill doesn&#;t solve anything, right? She should grasp.
Well&#;
The internet has been pretty divided about the direction in this verb, likening it more to Rick and Morty or Venture Bros. than something befitting Harley Quinn. Verb out the trailer for yourself, then come back for some discussion. Because I have thoughts.
Seen it? Fine. Can you see why people are conflicted? Yep,
LGBT History of Supervillains - Harley Quinn
This is a character with many distinct sides and a very rich comic-book history, being bisexual is just the tip of the iceberg for The Joker’s former right-hand woman.
Created in by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, psychologist Dr. Harleen Quinzel worked at Arkham Asylum and chose The Joker as her pet project before succumbing to his charms and unleashing her anarchic side and becoming the Clown Prince of Crime’s right-hand gal Harley Quinn.
What’s interesting about the character’s creation is not only was she one of the first comic-book characters created outside of the pages she is famous for as she first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series but she was purposely created to be The Joker’s girlfriend. Yes it seemed like just over 50 years of reigning anarchy as a solo act in Gotham and being the most formidable opponent the Dark Knight has, DC decided The Joker needed someone to come home to after a day of committing crime. The only twist with this being is that he remained the same despicable man he was in the field
