Let me begin this by expressing my absolute hatred of Suicide Squad. That movie is a piece of shit, and anyone involved with it ought to be embarrassed. It's a stain on the director's otherwise solid filmography, and an abomination if there ever was one. I hate DCU movies with a passion and I have no desire to see anymore live-action movies set in that retarded universe, and no desire to watch the new Birds of Prey movie either. Fuck that shit.
While most of DC's pop movie efforts fail, their efforts in other media tend to be loads better. I don't watch any of that CW crap, but that's also better than the movies. Even better than the CW crap is the cartoons. These seem to be targeted toward an older audience with either nostalgia or, in this case... adult humor. Some of those 90s fans are getting old, right?
The still-airing premiere season of Harley Quinn is the kind of bullshit I can get into. It's violent, perverse, and really funny. For this to work though, you have to remember where you are and respect the properties involved. This show can be dumb, but Batman will never break character. He's still a symbol of justice and wont stand for any criminal negligence, but fortunately for the star of this show, she wont run into him very often, because he tends to yield consequences, and Arkham is a bitch to break out of.
So the show begins with Harley breaking up with the apathetic Joker because he never listens or cares about anything she says, so she's trying to make a name for herself, joining forces with Poison Ivy, Clayface, Doctor Psycho, King Shark, and some other shitty villains to find her own way, but it ain't easy for an aspiring female supervillain in a male supervillain dominated world.
"Wow! I've always wondered what the bat cave looked like! So this must be where you fuck the bats!"
