Harley Quinn Season 5 Review: DC"s Most Interesting Series Cleverly Reinvents Itself & Makes A Case For Its Continued Existence

:0:0

Harley Quinn is one of the most interesting offerings DC has ever had. Clearly taking inspiration from both Margot Robbie"s version of the character and DC Comics, the TV-MA animated series has no fears, exploring several different corners of the DC Universe. Following Creature Commandos season 1, those wanting another dose of bloody, hilarious adult animation with DC characters should check out Harley Quinn season 5. The new year of the TV show makes a good case for why James Gunn should keep it around for years to come as an Elseworlds project.
TV-MA AnimationActionComedy Developed by Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey, Harley Quinn is a Max original series focusing on Harley Quinn, the former therapist led astray by the Joker. The show sees Harley learn that the Joker truly doesn't love her and decides to find her place in the world without him - and cause a little mayhem along the way.

It did have multiple exciting episodes, and I loved certain decisions, like the introduction of Nightwing, but overall, I felt like it did not quite reach the level of the other three seasons. In my Kite Man: Hell Yeah! review, I explored how the Harley Quinn spinoff felt like a breath of fresh air and expanded the universe in a great way. Now it was time for Harley Quinn season 5 to do the same.
We Are Definitely Not In Gotham Anymore Harley Quinn Season 5 Moves The Action To Metropolis Much like Harley and Ivy find in the series, a change of scenery was needed to shake things up. While Harley, Poison Ivy, Bruce Wayne, and most of the other characters in the DC series hail from Gotham City, that location was played out. Harley started the show as a villain under the Joker"s thumb, slowly growing into a hero, albeit a violent one. She even joined the Bat-Family last season. As such, everything that could be done with Gotham had already been done.
Moving the action to Superman"s pristine city allowed the show to make things fresh and exciting again.
Still, before it was announced, I had never thought about moving the show to Metropolis, but I absolutely loved the story that followed that decision. Moving the action to Superman"s pristine city allowed the show to make things fresh and exciting again. This allows the series to tap into the Superman well of characters while also having key supporting players from Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy"s Gotham days return. The Man of Steel even gets funny and heartwarming scenes opposite Harley, a character who is so different from him.
