10 Reasons You Should Be Watching The Harley Quinn TV Show
3. The Show Has Fun With The DC Universe
A cultural medium that pokes fun at itself is always an interesting move. For universes like Marvel, Star Wars and DC, the mythologies are ripe for admiration but also a little bit of mockery.
Once a piece of art based off an existing property starts embracing and making fun of itself it can start to be more appreciated and celebrated (that's why the Lego Batman movie was so much fun). And in the Harley Quinn show; it's not just a run through the Rolodex of DC characters and putting them in hilarious situations. It presents a case that playfully rips into the DC Universe.
From the moment Harley Quinn is certain Batman "f**ks bats" to everyone pointing out how useless Kite Man is, you'll realise that this is a show that appreciates its source material just as much as it likes poking holes in it.
You get to see the world of the DC Universe through a different light; Bane is an emotionally sensitive busy-body, Joker isn't as menacing as enthusiasts would believe him to be, and Poison Ivy operates as an environmentally conscious big sister to Harley.
Fan or not of DC, you'll be impressed with how the show presents itself.
