After being teased multiple times, the halfway point of Season One marks the show’s big Harley episode — for those who suspected she was more than she let on, you were right. However, it’s a deliberate play against type: Timm said in interviews he wanted this Harley to be a bit eccentric on the outside, when she’s chatting with Montoya and other “normies,” but dark on the inside, a side she only lets out in private. Batman is finishing up a pretty easy job — a bank robber who thinks he can bribe him — when there’s some commotion across the street that distracts him.

I'm not sure how I feel about Harley's new design in this show. She looks... different. I mean, I get that they're going for a more realistic look, but the extra weight? It's kinda throwing me off. I liked the classic, more stylized look. Maybe it's just me, but this feels

t's nice to see a Batman show that can be creepy without going overboard. Like, Harley's whole torture thing is messed up, but it's not super gory or anything. I can watch it with my friends without getting nightmares. Also its weird seeing Harley to be not cheerful in her masked form and be serious on her Civilian form.

I feel bad for Renee. She finally gets asked out by a cool girl, and it turns out she's a psycho kidnapper! Dating in Gotham must be rough.
