The animated Harley Quinn series is back for a fourth season. In an interesting media crossover, some of what happened between seasons three and four was covered in a comic book limited series, “Legion of Bats.” But now the show is back, with, among other things, Harley and Ivy trying to find a new balance in their lives, since Harley is working with the Bat-family in Batman’s absence, and Ivy is running the Legion of Doom. Talk about a mixed marriage.
While it’s not a show without flaws, Gotham Knights has taken an original approach. They’ve drawn in different elements from a lot of different versions of the Bat-mythos, and made the interesting choice of opening the series with Batman’s death. They weave in a few other interesting bits with this episode, “A Chill in Gotham.”
Despite some really badly done trailers, Gotham Knights turned out to be an enjoyable show, even if it only lasted one season. One of the things I enjoyed about the show was that they created a new spin on Gotham, bringing in elements from many different versions of the Bat-mythos.
The group that’s being forced to work together is starting to gel, and while I don’t think they’ll be a team for any of the usual reasons, survival is a good motivator. With most of the city turned against them, the gang really is “Under Pressure.”
As I mentioned in the review about the pilot, they borrow story elements from all over the Batman mythos, and make something unique. I’m enjoying so far, as the plot thickens in “Scene of the Crime.”
The third season of the deranged but enjoyable madness that is the animated Harley Quinn show careens to an end. Credit where it’s due, they make some changes that I expect will affect the future of the show (the series has been renewed and is targeted to debut sometime this year).
For the third season, the idea seems to largely be Harley supporting Poison Ivy, her now official girlfriend, as Ivy pushes ahead with her eco-friendly, people-unfriendly plans.
The third season of the Titans has been a hell of a ride so far, and it’s still getting interesting and odd. With two character deaths and a resurrection, it’s safe to say there have been surprising twists and turns.
The Titans, a live action series that started on the now-defunct DC Universe and migrated to HBO Max along with Doom Patrol, returns for their third season. Season two ended with the tragic (and poorly written) death of Donna Troy, AKA Wonder Girl.
…revealed is the plan behind some of the recent changes in the Justice League’s membership, a new and intriguing Gotham-based team, and at least a nod in the direction of the one original Outsider we haven’t seen yet.
