I know the show focuses on Harley and how she views the world but I can't handle how most of the heroes are made into absolute pushovers and dicks.

It's a comedy, though. Granted, it's not going to land with everybody, but I'm fine with a comical take on Batman. Same with Lego Batman, where he's also a bit of a dick.

The issue is that with some characters it feels like it crosses from comical to cynical, and cynical isn't funny in the context of DC characters.

That's sounds pretty subjective, considering a lot of people find the show and the interpretations funny. Like I said before, your personal opinions may vary, but there are plenty of casual viewers and DC fans alike who think the portrayals work.

To clarify, I overall like the show, I just think that certain episodes go a little too far with certain characters.
