Harley Quinn The Animated Series tome 1 : The Eat. Bang ! Kill. Tour

Product Information

Informed Judaism: There are plenty of references to Judaism throughout. Sy Borgman speaks with a Yiddish accent, the second episode is centered around the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah, and, of course, there's Harley herself. Both of the creators are Jewish, incidentally. Repeated in another episode when Harley fights Batman on live-TV and gets face-slammed into the camera lens, looking and sounding as if pressed against the TV screen. Disabled Love Interest: Vixen's girlfriend Elle walks with crutches and a lower-extremity prosthesis on her right leg. Ivy seeks out Vixen’s help to defeat Mephitic and save Harley before time runs out! Meanwhile, Gordon gets an anonymous invitation to Detroit. And a new friend changes the way Ivy views relationships in this series finale! [2] Plot [ ]

On TV, Gordon swears up and down he will bring Harley to justice, no matter what. Hearing that, the women decide to go on a road trip to evade him. Unfortunately, they don't know that Gordon has put a tap on them, and follows them... Systematic Villain Takedown: In season 2, with the Justice League out of commission and Gotham in chaos, a group of villains composed of The Penguin, Bane, The Riddler, Mr. Freeze and Two-Face creates the Injustice League, sharing Gotham between themselves and freezing Harley when she poses a challenge to it. The first half of that season sees Harley going in a revenge quest by taking down each of them one by one. While she kills the Penguin, the others have varied fates, she takes the Riddler as prisoner, traps Bane in the bottom of a pit, Mr. Freeze sacrifices himself to heal his wife, and Two-Face is arrested by Gordon, with Harley having no part in his take down. Adaptational Sexuality: Vixen has a girlfriend in this continuity. Nightfall and Livewire are exes. The issue takes up right after the ending of the last episode of the second season of the animated series. Livewire mentions The New Batman Adventures episode " Girl's Night Out" wherin she, Harley and Ivy team up. She already did so in " Journey to Love Part 4".It's All My Fault: Ivy blames herself for hurting Kite Man and ruining the wedding, with her villainous friends being arrested. While the former is pretty true, she had nothing to do with the latter as it was Gordon's plan.

Once More, with Clarity: Joker’s “proposal” to Harley. Harley believed it to be a romantic scene of her dancing with Joker until Joker takes out a ring and says “till death do us part”. Harley is then forced by the mental image of her past self to confront the reality of what happened. They were actually on the roof of a building, the violinists were actually Joker’s henchmen, Harley wasn’t dancing with Joker but actually holding a grenade, and Joker wasn’t saying “till death do us part” to Harley, he was saying it to Batman just before ditching Harley as an explosive distraction.

Tropes shown in this work:

Card-Carrying Villain: All of the supervillains, from the main cast to the Legion of Doom, actively embrace their status as the bad guys and make it part of their public image. Harley Quinn: The Animated Series - The Eat, Bang, Kill Tour DC Print Subscriptions (June 10, 2021). Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: Harley eventually makes it clear to Ivy that while she's accepted all of Ivy's apologies for snapping at her, she hasn't forgotten how often it is. She even says that if she wanted to be put down every day, she'd be with Joker.

Hypocrite: While the Legion expels Dr. Psycho from the group for his blatant sexism, this doesn't stop them from continuing their own sexist practices, with no female members of the group shown before Harley is brought in... just so Joker can emotionally manipulate her again; the lot of them leaving the Queen of Fables to rot in a tax book for years; Lex Luthor gaslighting Ivy at the Joker's behest; Scarecrow kidnapping her, drugging her, and stealing her blood; and other terrible behavior. Evil Power Vacuum: Season 2's main conflict is that the remaining villains took over Gotham after Joker's defeat. Batgirl's "Stephanie" could be Clayface's "student" personna (" Riddler U"), or Stephanie Brown, another member of the Batfamily, who assumes the identities of Spoiler, Robin, and Batgirl. Before starting their honeymoon, Harley and Ivy go drop Bud and Lou at Selina's, who doesn't know about their intention.

Mr. Freeze tells Harley that he stopped the Injustice League from killing her and that he was only able to because he knew heterosexual, cisgendered, white men would love nothing more than to make an object out of a woman put on display like a trophy. note He is obviously glossing over Bane, who is Hispanic but has no respect amongst his peers and whose opinion would not have mattered. Reel Torture: In "The Final Joke", Joker tortures Doctor Psycho by strapping him to a chair and forcing him to watch videos of feminist rallies. In season 1, Bane makes a joke about the ocean being the world's toilet. In season 2, ocean critters do a song and dance number for King Shark, all about being able to poop wherever you want in the ocean. Stalker Shrine: Harley has a wall covered with pictures of Ivy with the words "Harley loves Poison Ivy" crossword style in the middle. Taking the Bullet: Ivy puts herself between a chained up Harley and thousands of dirty needles so that if she can't beat Mephitic in time, she'd take them instead.
