10 Best Batman: The Animated Series Episodes

7. Harley And Ivy

Heart of Ice Batman

Team-ups, eh? Well, if Batman can do it…

Harley and Ivy is a relatively simply story. Felt slighted by her ‘puddin’, Harley Quinn seeks refuge in the arms of Poison Ivy and the pair go all Thelma and Louise in carrying out a crime spree to prove, on Harley’s part, that she is every bit as bad an apple as her beloved.

After more than proving themselves as a very capable and successful duo, Harley and Ivy, and ultimately Joker too, end up back in Arkham Asylum.

This episode is an absolute hoot from start to end. Harley Quinn, who was actually created for the animated series, is shown here in all her unhinged glory to be every bit the foil to Joker. Poison Ivy, too, is a delight, riffing off her new-found buddy with ease. And any episode featuring Mark Hamill’s Joker is a winner, right?
