This review contains spoilers , click expand to view . I initially made this comment on youtube after watching the second episode of the first season, but I figured I may as well say the same thing here.



Yeah, so i hate to be THAT guy, but this show is giving me some seriously bad vibes about its future. And don't get me wrong. I like Harley Quinn. Have been a big fan of hers since Batman the animated series. And I especially enjoyed her in Injustice 1 and 2 when she reformed and joined the bat-family (I feel that version of Harley has the most potential IMO). A series where she gets over the Joker can be done and rather well at that. That said, this show does NOT feel like Harley Quinn. She has broken up with the joker before, but this show feels a lot less like her breaking up with the Joker and striving on her own and more like pushing some nonsense agenda. The Joker's dumb "my fellow whites" line in the first episode was one thing and easy to dismiss. Batman NOT trying to save Harley from falling into something he himself said was "acid" was idiotic (especially considering the dude has risked his life based on far less information to save Harley's life in the past), but I gave it pass. But having Harley "stand up for the other villains" in light of the Joker's bullying /"mean comments about them" and in light of it being "the same way Joker used to treat her" is BEYOND cringeworthy. Last time I checked Harley, you guys are EVIL SUPER VILLAINS who rob and murder people left and right. You are NOT good people and have never given a damn about common decency. The Joker saying "mean things" to Bane is TAME compared to everything else on his AND Bane's resume and villains would probably suspect something was SERIOUSLY WRONG with the dude if he DIDN'T act like that (like maybe he's the Martian Manhunter or the goddamn Batman himself in disguise, which is NOT unprecedented). Seriously, civility for the Joker (or any of the people in this room) is him NOT torching the whole place down just for laughs or spiking the punch with joker toxin. This entire scene felt like a retarded as hell attempt to continue pushing this dumb as hell "I'm a strong independent woman and don't need no man!" mantra and I'm guessing it's gonna get worse from here on out.



Same goes for Poison Ivy too. You are an EVIL HOMICIDAL MANIAC who kills men, women and children just for even looking at a plant the wrong way. You are in NO POSITION WHATSOEVER to maintain any moral highground about the sick and twisted ways Joker treats Harley. Lets not forget any of your nutjob attempts to murder the entire planet (INCLUDING Harley) just because of what happened to a flower pot.





You're all equal opportunity nutjobs who regularly get checked into Arkham Asylum for a reason. The Joker just has you beat for being better at it, which even the likes of Superman has had to learn firsthand; they don't call him for the clown prince of crime for nothing. He may be abusive to Harley, but considering that this is a dude who will toss infant babies out the window for **** and giggles, what do you expect? The Joker does not give the SLIGHTEST damn about "bullying others", much less "misogyny", "white male supremacy" or any other terms certain people like to throw around these days on twitter simply because they have nothing better to do with their lives. He will gruesomely murder you regardless of whether you're a man, woman, adult, child, senior citizen, black, white, blue, yellow, red or green and will do so will do so with a smile on his face. That's who the Joker is and that is who he will always be notwithstanding whatever hack writers want to attribute to him and his "fellow whites." Unfortunately, this incarnation of Joker is just looking to be a foil for some nonsense social justice crusade, which I'm guessing is gonna be a lot more blatant in later episodes. Shame too, but at least it's better than CW's soon to be canceled Fatwoman. That show is cancer. Yikes.



P.S. As a means of being "edgy", I predict that it will actually come out later in the show that Harley is right about Batman "f-cking bats." H'yuck h'yuck h'yuck. So funny. (◔_◔) … Expand
