word of advice : The chase contain SPOILERS forHarley Quinnepisode 2 , " A High Bar . "
The latest episode ofHarley Quinnmakes Gotham City ’s villains seem far from ominous , and downright idiotic . While this can partly be explain by their being off - responsibility for most of the episode , many of the trick in episode 2 " A in high spirits Bar " hint thatBatmanhas a passably comfortable job of it when it do to outwit his foe .
The first scene of " A High Bar " assume situation in the happy chance room at the Hall of Doom . It is here thatScarecrowand Bane gossip about the recent breakout - up between Harley Quinn and The Joker , while hanging out around the coffee auto . This is hardly suitable behavior of the self - described " Master of Fear " or the humanity who " broke the Bat , " and it ’s hard to take either of them seriously for the rest of the episode .

Harley catch her own moment of humiliation after she decides to prove to the rest of the villains that she is altogether over The Joker and is living her best life without him . This head to her and Poison Ivy crashing what Harley thought was an official Legion of Doom gathering , with Harley making a wonderful rap - star entry , guzzle a nursing bottle of Cristal while walking a tiger on a trinity . regrettably , the assembly turns out to be a Bar mitzvah for The Penguin ’s nephew , Joshua . To add contumely to injury , The Penguinthinks Harley is one of the strippers he hired for the event .
Even The Joker , who was originally planning to skim the party , does n’t fare much well as we trim back to him as he ’s in the heart of rebuilding his secret den , which Harley put down inthe first installment . We see the Clown Prince of Crime fence with his contractor over Gotham City ’s requirement that he practice for a particular permit for a trap doorway , when " the whole point is no one is theorise to have it off about it , specially the metropolis !

While it ’s apparently silly to expect an syndicalist like The Joker to care about adhere to building codes , or that Gotham City would strictly regulate the construction of deathtraps , this self-love is half the playfulness of the show . More than any revive serial publication sinceThe Venture Bros. Harley Quinntries to explore the realities of how a society with substantial costumed criminals and superheroes would function while still hold fast to the innate absurdity built-in to the superhero genre . This results in a level of humor that is far deep than one would ask from a mere animated series focused on a Batman villain . Although the show still take up a number of cheap shots atKite Man , so it evens out in the end .
