If I had to paraphrase this as RLM, "Batman and Harley Quinn is an experiment film in how awful fanfiction by creators you like ruin things you love."

Honestly this is the worst animated film made by the DC direct-to-video animated film group.

I haven't watched it yet but honestly from the clips I've seen, I have no real desire to watched it now.

I've only seen clips of it, and yeah, it doesn't make me want to see the rest of it.

Giving the creators of the DC animated movies freedom to include straight-up sexual content somehow turns them into juvenile little boys who just want to see characters fuck. Apart from that, Harley's voice acting is atrocious and the animation sucks.

Remember when the series had this quality in animation?


Now we have... t-this.

Hey man your loss, I am enjoying Harley showing her booty to me ;)

But yeah Harley's voice actress is just not doing it for me. I think the problem is she sounds like she's in her 30s, but the character's design look like she's 16.

There's more than enough cartoon porn for that. And heck, that clip I posted already leaves very little to the imagination. Bruce Timm's designs usually don't. But these recent movies are just embarrassing in how much they want to show off their "adult" side.

No, she's just going for some sort of thick Brooklyn accent or something, making her sound like she's doing a bad Al Capone impression. When Arleen Sorkin did her normal voice for Harley she sounded like someone in her mid to late 20's -- she never sounded this stupid.

Not only is the film terrible. But, the villains plan was incredibly stupid, even if it had gone exactly as they wanted.

Turn every living thing on the planet to a plant-hybrid. Since everything is using photosynthesis, we eventually convert all the carbon dioxide into oxygen. Nothing is converting oxygen back to carbon dioxide. The entire planet dies.

Eh, at high oxygen concentrations fires are much more impressive. You'd get CO2 that way.

Which one?

The one that doesn't look weird and unnatural. So I guess both are out.

Seriously, what the hell is going on with her butt in that left picture? Your ass doesn't look like that when you bend over. I mean, did her spine snape off by the hip bone and reattach itself to her crotch? Another sign of the piss poor animation that went into this movie.

So, a Killing Joke sequel.

Someone stop Timm before he OVAs again.

I haven't seen this yet, but I wasn't impressed by the trailer. Someone remind Bruce Timm that he was much better at this when he had to sneak the adult stuff under the radar.

I really liked it. The more sexed up portion is kinda weird (though sex appeal has always been a part of her character and the part itself is very short), but in general the tone is a lot more tongue in cheek, Harley is always fun to watch and the ending is amazing. This is for people who want a bit less GRIMDARK Batman.

I like a Batman with a bit less grim dark and I like comedy, but I don't know what the hell this movie was at all.

Trust me, its much MUCH worse than the Killing Joke. They're both pretty awful.

It looks quite terrible, so I guess I'm going to end up hate-watching it.

On a semi-related topic: why Harley Quinn, fans? Of all the Batman ladies, why go for the annoying, sugar baby character who primarily exists to get knocked around by the Joker?

Why do people think the Joker is an interesting villain when for the last oh, 10-15 years or so he's been little more than a laughing serial killer (or some impossibly forward thinking clown god of bullshit)? People are a lot more shallow than they like to believe. They might point to some perceived intrigue about a crazy clown girl with a penchant for bad relationships, but really she's just a shapely blonde in a form fitting costume wearing dark make-up. As a sexual object she's pretty conventional, but her character can be interesting if the author cares to try. Just look at her recent popular comic runs.

It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the best either.

Weird tonal thing going on with it.
-Drama and then fart jokes? Sure...why not?

Also, the ending was kind of...off.

I mean, if the animation style was different I could see it as less Batman:TAS and more Loonie Toons.

If anyone is an interesting villain its Darkseid. I always prefer Evil Dark Lords over Psychopaths.
