I’ve talked before about how Ivy in these comics behaves differently than she does in the show, namely how she’s far more emotional.
It manages to make their relationship into something interesting to read about, but possibly at the expense of characterization. The presence of Ivy’s ex seems to be one of the main plots of this miniseries, and I’m of a mixed mind about it. It adds an element of scandal to what is normally wholesome fluff. Because Ivy is trying to hide the fact that she’s been meeting up with her ex, the morning romance becomes a way for her distract Harley from snooping into her activities. This issue does, however, set itself apart by incorporating the obligatory love scene into the plot. Over time this can feel repetitive, if nice, for those who like saccharine romance. The way that manifests for Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! is usually starting each issue with a few pages of the two expressing their love for one another, verbally and physically. It makes sense it’s also probably the most consistent topic as the show as well. If there’s one throughline that remains consistent, it’s Harley and Ivy’s relationship. What’s presented here is instead a drawn out plot where too often nothing of consequence happens. Ideally the way to handle this sort of thing would be to have a series of one-off adventures (history fun fact: that used to be what all comics were).
She can’t progress anything going on in the show because that all needs to happen on TV, and she can’t start any meaningful plots of her own, because they can’t do anything that would upset the status quo. I’ve talked about this before, but there is only so much Tee Franklin is able to do with a story set between seasons of a show with ongoing plotlines. The issue is now on sale from DC Comics, and available to read on DC Universe Infinite.This series is in an unenviable position. Main cover art is by Yoshi Yoshitani, with variant cover artwork contributed to by Dan Hipp, Logan Faerber and Jess Taylor. For example, the Joker is no longer obsessed with fighting Batman, but serves as Gotham City's mayor, a loving husband and stepfather to two children.Īlong with Franklin and Beagle, Harley Quinn: The Animated Series - Legion of Bats! #1 features inks by Roberto Poggi and Shae Beagle, colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Taylor Esposito. Along with status quo changes for Ivy and Harley, the show has also shaken up other Batman-related characters and their place in Gotham City. Since the show debuted in 2019, Harley Quinn has introduced viewers to a DC Universe of mature comedy and violence, where heroes and villains have celebrity-like status and host award shows, sit down for televised interviews with the media and more.
