Batman: The Animated Series returns... sortof. This is a Harley Quinn book drawn in the same style. Unfortunately, Templeton is not as good of a writer as he is an artist. And he doesn't draw any of the book. The art often looks sketched out and unfinished. The story falls flat and is depressing. In the last half of the book, there is no story. It's just random little interludes. Meh.

This series is very uneven. The art is OK in some issues in this collection, but seem rushed in others. Also, the stories don't really line up. Occasionally, it seems as if a story line is being developed only to be dropped in the next issue. That doesn't make for satisfying reading.

Got this as a freebie and honestly it was kinda bad XDIt's the first time I've read a DC comic tbh and I feel like it was a bad one to start with. But it was fun to kind of pick up the personalities of the characters throughout.Honestly though what's up w Harley and Nightwing?! Is that a real thing??!

Just awful. Totally out of character, Harley breaks up with Mistah J, turns in her bestie Poison Ivy and decides to become a hero – for no reason besides DC wanting to make her more “safe” to like, I guess? Batman meanwhile stands in the background with his arms crossed. So DC decided to cash in on nostalgia by returning to the awesome world of Batman: The Animated Series, and Harley is super popular these days so she gets top billing with Batpants – but that’s all it reads like: cynical marketi...

Divided into two parts. I liked the first one better. The second one has chapters that seem hardly connected, and don't make for any larger plot.Harley Quinn betrays the joker, because she thinks he doesn't love her, joins poison ivy. Robs Catwoman to get money for poison ivy, ends up giving herself in, to stop being "mad".She is released from Arkham, and gets a job as a psychiatrist, after Bruce Wayne asks to give her a job.In the second part, there are various plots. Something about Killer Cro...

Fun stories orbiting that unique animated film, done in the DCAU animated style. It’s a kick to see Ty Templeton and Rick Burchett to that style, too! This book is split between a prequel story and a few epilogues, including an interesting version of the Suicide Squad.

40% | D+ | Meh"Play time, babies! Mama found you a chew toy!"Harley Quinn has decided to go clean, but a normal life isn't exactly easy for someone with her track recordThis is completely stupid, yet it did manage to make me laugh a few times. Since it's based on the animated universe, it's quite a bit lighter than a lot of other Batman stories with the tone definitely more child-friendly. However, you can pull that off without losing the essence of the characters themselves. I feel like Templet...

Nostalgic fun in the vein of Batman: The Animated Series, but with a modern edge. This collection has several stories and was meant to take place before and after the recent DCU animated movie of the same name. Check it out if you're a fan of the old series, Harley, or the new movie. A quick, fun read! Recommended.

Ty Templeton and Rick Burchett were who you wanted to be in charge of writing and art duties when the newest issue of Batman Adventures dropped. Both talents return to the Batman: The Animated Series universe in this pair of stories starring the Dark Knight and Harley Quinn!The Joker has belittled his girlfriend for the last time! Feeling completely ignored, Harley Quinn betrays the Clown Prince of Crime to Batman, only to find that The Joker is too pre-occupied with defeating the Caped Crusader...

Alright. This one is basically as-advertised. It is all Harley Quinn stories and they're done more in less in the same style as Batman: The Animated Series. For the most part, the stories seem to be written with younger readers in mind, so Harley maybe doesn't behave as you'd expect her to--she's reformed--but that isn't necessarily a problem in itself. The problem is that the writing is bad. And frankly, the art is worse. I'm not going to work hard to defend either of those opinions, but I will...

3.5This collection really highlights the difference between Bruce Timm's and Ty Templeton's take on animated Batman. When Harley and Nightwing flirt here, it's fun, not gross. When there's fart jokes there's more thought to it than just fart=funny. Best of all, Templeton's Harley's is the cheerfully chaotic character she was in the original animated series and not the sexed up punchline she's become.The main drawback of this collection is the art, which can be sketchy and downright unfinished on...

This was a chance find at the library and as a lover of Harley Quinn, I gave it a go. Solid 4 stars really unexpected fun, loved the Harley + Ivy dynamic.

Eh. Just OK. I'm trying to read Harley's comic appearances in chronological order, and this was on the list.

I enjoyed it, but please don't make me watch Harley and Dick Grayson flirt ever again. Just no.

Fun call back to The New Batman Animated series in a comic loosely based off of the 2017 animated film Batman and Harley Quinn. A pretty quick, fun read.

I liked this one! I loved that the artwork was reminiscent of the old Bruce Timm stuff with the same light-hearted feel. I was a bit disappointed with the overall content. The beginning story was enjoyable with Harley and Ivy's friendship and Harley trying to define who she was and what her worth was as well as Ivy struggling to maintain humanity and where she fit in the world. The second half seemed to be disjointed one shot "chapters". I was less interested in those standalones, wishing instea...

Wish I'd read this before watching the movie its based on. Harley has called it quits from Joker and has been trying to strike out on her own with Ivy. Nothing goes right and she ends up back in Arkham. But harles is changing her stripes and batman can see that. A lot of "villain" characters are trying to gi "straight" in this graphic novel. Some very interesting pair ups in this one that I wish I'd have seen to completion.

A great collection of stories. Really enjoyed this return to the more Animated Batman style of comics. The last three chapters were definitely my favourite. Amanda Deibert's few chapters were hilarious and Luciano Vecchio's art was amazing! I loved his take on Harley's costume. Would love to see more of this kind of thing!

Wow. I didn't realise when I got this that I have the plot of Suicide squad in my hands. The last two chapters and the first part of the book were really good but the parts in the middle were quite boring. Felt like fillers and I didn't like them. But I loved the ones I mentioned. I am glad that I own this copy

absolutely love the art here. they rough lines in the earlier sections are beautifuldunno why Batman's name is even on this, he's barely a part of this story. It's entirely HQ's journey to realizing that all the people in her life are using her I too, like Harley, prefer to send emails at night in my underwear
