Harley Quinn Season 5, Episode 9 Review: I Was Excited To See Bruce Wayne Finally Getting Into Batman Action Alongside The Joker

:0:1

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Harley Quinn Season 5, Episode 9.As we near the final episode of Harley Quinn season 5 and possibly the last entry in the DC animated series, I"ve quite liked how this season has panned out so far. Harley Quinn season 5, episode 8, was more of a slower entry that still had an impact on the overall story. We got a nice bit of character development for Harley, Poison Ivy dealt with an infiltration gone wrong, and Lex Luthor finally returned to the show. Its ending set up the final two episodes by building up the stakes.
The animated DC series surprised me earlier when it came to Lena Luthor not working with Brainiac, but overtaking him as the season"s true villain. By the end of the last episode, she had managed to achieve Brainiac"s ultimate goal, perfecting Metropolis and bottling the city. With Harley and Ivy back home and half of the show"s core cast of characters stuck inside Brainiac"s ship in the miniature-sized Metropolis, I was curious to see how episode 9 would explore those situations. The result was that some of my favorite characters got their time to shine.
Bruce Wayne Gets To Shine As Metropolis Finds Itself In A Rough Spot The Joker & Lois Lane Also Have More Screen Time Close Since Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are back on Earth, it comes down to a different set of characters to defend Metropolis from the inside. As one would imagine, all hell broke loose inside the city once everyone realized they had been bottled, with a nod to conspiracy theorists through the "bottle deniers" being one of the episode"s funniest gags. While I love Harley and Ivy, the show"s irreverent take on so many classic DC characters is my favorite aspect, and after spending most of the season in smaller roles, three of them got to shine.
The dynamic between Batman and the Joker is one of the most refreshing in the animated DC series.
Bruce Wayne, the Joker, and Lois Lane teamed up to try to save Metropolis from inside. The dynamic between Batman and the Joker is one of the most refreshing in the animated DC series. In most other media, the two are always at each other"s throats. However, the Joker is no longer a villain in Harley Quinn. Earlier in the season, their dynamic entered friendship territory and it was fun to see how hilarious they could be in the show"s latest episode when paired up once again.
