The third episode, “So You Need A Crew?,” centers on how no one will give Harley her own squad because she’s no longer with Joker, and how there’s a glass ceiling for female supervillains. The series’ commentary on sexism and misogyny is done through its own unique world. Harley Quinn doesn’t always work-some of the side characters are more eye-rolling than entertaining, and sometimes it feels as if the themes are being beat into your head with Harley’s giant wooden mallet, But when it does, it’s almost exhilarating to watch. Harley Quinn’s Birds of Prey crew includes Renee Montoya, Huntress, Cassandra Cain and Black Canary DC

Relatedly, the movie’s full title is Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) it was influenced by Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner’s comic book “reboot” of the character created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for the animated Batman series.
It takes some trickery for Harley to finally see the truth, claiming her emancipation from Joker and aiming to become a member of the criminal underworld on her own terms. Her new best friend Poison Ivy ( Bless This Mess‘ Lake Bell) repeatedly tries to convince Harley to leave Joker, to no avail even after Ivy breaks Harley out, Harley manages to get sucked back into the Clown Prince of Crime’s life. Well, that’s not entirely accurate: throughout the year spent in prison, in which Joker never shows up, Harley continues to be in love, to pine after him, steadfastly believing that he’s going to break her out eventually. The pilot introduces us to Harley Quinn (voiced by The Big Bang Theory‘s Kaley Cuoco), who is happily in love with her boyfriend and partner-in-crime Joker (Alan Tudyk)… until he abandons her in Arkham Asylum.
The adult animated series, which premiered on the DC Universe streaming service back in November, has become increasingly enjoyable every week. But if you can’t wait, there’s already a series that portrays just that: DC Universe’s Harley Quinn.
