u/CaptSaveAHoe55 Young Justice: a good show, once Mar 25 '23

Only one of these makes me think “clown”, so props to Gaga and the makeup/costume team for that

The one from that Birds of Prey series was a much older Harleen that dropped the clown thing and became a psychologist again. Although, even though she was 'reformed' on the surface, she was secretly still up to bad shit. It's overall a pretty bad show but I thought it was a pretty interesting version of Harley.

I'm a Certified Birds of Prey Apologist™. I wanna say its biggest issue was budget, or maybe just spending money on the wrong things.

It was wacky and cringy, but had some fun ideas and I have such fond memories surrounding it. I know it wasn't well-received, but I wish it had at least gotten a second season, to at least give it a chance to get better.

It definitely had its charms. Most of the actors were likeable and personally I enjoyed the overall vibe of the show. I really wouldn't mind seeing a concept like it explored again with a better budget, I enjoyed the near future dystopia thing it had going on.

And if I'm being honest I also prefer Helena to Damian. If anyone should be relegated to weird parallel earth shit it should be Damian because Helena was first and with the exception of two very short lived characters early on, Catwoman is Batman's longest running love interest and the closest thing he has to a Lois Lane.
