In the Max show's latest outing, Harley tempers her freewheeling, violent ways in an effort to be “good.'
It’s a compelling setup for the next installment of the series: two soulmates who’ve had each other’s backs long before they started dating committed to keeping their relationship strong even as they set out on divergent paths.
Unfortunately, this concept turns out to be less compelling in practice than it is on paper. It means that Harley and Ivy are apart for much of the first half of season four, which is a bummer as their opposites-attract interplay has always been the strongest aspect of the show. But more importantly, it means Harley is laying down her iconic black-and-red baseball bat in favor of a … uh …bat, working to reform her freewheeling, violent ways in an effort to be “good.
than as major ones. Batgirl’s goody-two-shoes attitude, Nightwing’s gruff intensity, and Robin’s tween tantrums feel one-note after a couple of episodes. We miss Harley working with her old crew of C-list villains—King Shark , Clayface , and Dr. Psycho , who are all consistently compelling, hilarious characters in their own right.
That said, the way Harley approaches her reformation is very on brand: Her attempts to win over the Bat Family—particularly Nightwing—are so gleefully fanatical that they inevitably lead to disaster.On the other hand, Ivy’s story this season is riveting and fully realized from the jump. It’s a surreal office comedy in which there’s a high chance of your PR team morphing into a 50-foot-tall kaiju or your coworkers murdering each other in the conference room.
