7. Harlequinade
Another Harley-centric episode that serves as a follow-on to Harley & Ivy as it once again examines the dysfunctional romance between her and the Joker.
Plus, for fans of Joker’s quirky looks, this episode features both swimwear Joker and WW1 fighter pilot Joker.
Batman frees Harley from Arkham in order to help him track down the Joker, who has stolen an atomic bomb. His plan is simple and frightening - to nuke Gotham and everyone in it.
Harley turns on Batman to side once again with her beloved Mr J, but soon realises that the Joker had no intention of sparing her from the blast (let alone their pet hyenas or friends in Arkham).
It’s a relationship rollercoaster with Harley thwarting the Joker’s plan but ultimately falling for him all over again.
