The Harley Quinn News and Discussion Thread

[2kt09]

The meta commentary is interesting but I hope there's an actual show in there.

I assumed this was just for the teaser. Harley isn't normally the 4th wall breaker.

So, Harley's now the female Deadpool?

She's been the female Deadpool for like the past 6 years.

[Boy Scout]

That was great fun. Love the Harley voice.

 

[Lencho01]

I'm surprised she's dressed more like her original version.

 

[Dave McFly]

seeing who they have cast in the series I take it Bader is playing Batman in this, if so, that is cool next to Conroy, he is my other fave Batman VO

 

[Sithborg]

Not feeling the Harley voice, to be honest.

Some info...

The animated Harley Quinn series was previewed via a short video crafted especially for Wednesday’s event (check it out above). The irrepressible Harley was introduced as a character not in the comics but on television on a September 1992 episode of the acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series. Harley was portrayed by Margot Robbie in the 2016 feature film Suicide Squad.

Cuoco joins a voice ensemble on Harley Quinn that includes Lake Bell (Childrens Hospital), Alan Tudyk (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Ron Funches (Powerless), J.B. Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), Wanda Sykes (Black-ish), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Natalie Morales (BoJack Horseman), Jim Rash (Mike Tyson Mysteries), Diedrich Bader (Veep), Tony Hale (Arrested Development) and Chris Meloni (Law & Order: SVU).

In a nod to her cachet with fans of Comic Con culture, Cuoco also will be an executive producer on the series through her company, Yes, Norman Productions, which celebrates its one-year anniversary this month. Cuoco shares the show’s executive producer duties with Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker and Dean Lorey.

Great choice, I’m cuoco for great casting. Hope she has fun!

Kaley Cuoco as Harley Quinn already sounds better and more bearable than Tara Strong's Harley Quinn. This looks like a fun show and it seems that the creators of this show understand what the character is all about. I'm glad that Diedrich Bader is back as Batman.

Will Tony Hale be reprising his Joker from Batman Ninja?

 

[Poppy]

I love that little teaser !

 

[I Am The Knight]

I'm surprised she's dressed more like her original version.

Maybe she will have different looks? The reveal pic had her in a thrashy outfit similar to what she was wearing in the Suicide Squad movie.

Oh ok. I don’t remember seeing that pic.

 

[HBarnill]

Look, I don’t care that this is unnecessary. Just please give us something better than this:

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I really loved that teaser. Especially the Daria-esque Poison Ivy.

Plus, it's always nice to hear Diedrich back as Bats.

A much better look. I hate how Harley's costume has devolved from looking like an actual harlequin to the punk rock nonsense she was wearing in SS.

That's what I'm guessing.

Seriously what was Bruce Timm thinking when he wrote this?

 

[Teelie]

Probably if he could get away with it and no one call him on it.

 

[Fincher]

I like Ivy's design better here than in the concept art, and the tone seems good.

 

[Lilbaz]

Not a fan of kaleys voice for harley.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Kaley sounds fine to me, but I'm still baffled that DC keeps pushing the same characters ad nauseam. I could be wrong, but I really don't think Harley is as popular as they think she is.

And taking shots at a Deadpool cartoon that didn't get to series is easy when you're self-publishing your own cartoons on your own digital platform. They're not really comparing apples to apples there. But whatever.

This, along with that confusing "Suck it, Mr. Pool" tweet just show that DC still doesn't know how to market its characters. They're trying to be cheeky and meta, but it just comes off as a hard left turn to over correct what wasn't working before.

Oh LORD...
