Oh man! That was amazing! You know, I couldn't help but laugh when Harley and Jinx fighting. I was like "Are they fighting or are they having fun?" XD I feel like Harley and Jinx should be friend because how they interact. And for the very first times in Death Battle, after 10 years, non-Marvel characters has finally won against DC. That was definitely 10 out of 10.
Harley Quinn VS Jinx was a very solid premiere. Analysis was well written, Harley was covered well enough and Jinx seemed to be as well, and the outcome/post-analysis was clear. The fight was very well done. There is some jank and the facial experessions don't always have the same exaggeration to match the energy of the performance. I can overlook these though since the action and use of gear was top notch as I expect/hope from these episodes. The star of the show, of course, is the performances and dialogue. I've seen some say it feels about as rushed as modern episodes of DEATH BATTLE have been, specifically not allowing time to breath and take it in, but I don't think Harley VS Jinx really had that issue. These are loose cannons of characters so the fast pacing works, but they still make sure to pause and hold on certain scenes to allow the moment to click with the viewer or help with the comedy. The zoom out from the carousel is a great example. It goes on long enough to be funny but not too long as to ruin the pace and overstay its welcome. Picking a favorite moment is difficult. I've always wanted a fight to make its way to a mirror maze, thinking maybe Freddy VS Pennywise could do it, and we got it here with a very intense scene of Jinx just losing it to the toxin. The callback to Joker VS Sweet Tooth, the teleportation schenanigans, Harley talking to the gun, it's all so well done. After considering it all, I'm gonna go with Jinx's reaction to the dynamite in her mouth. I have never seen Arcane, I've never played LoL, but this one moment makes me and the fact that she doesn't even spit it out until she has the perfect opportunity to use it against Harley would probably tell me a lot about who she is even if I didn't watch the analysis. Fantastic stuff all around. I am so glad that premieres are starting to get consistently great now. I dunno if I'd put it higher than Yoda VS King Mickey yet, but they're very close to each other in quality. Will miss the end clips for characters though. Without them, the ending of the analysis feels empty. It also allows for us to actually know what the character sounds like so we can appreciate the voice acting for the fight more. Next time, was not expecting to get to it so soon. I know a lot of people are sick of Marvel VS DC, and this one will probably fail to live up to its potential, but I'm at least happy we're getting this at all. It's also one of the more debatable Marvel VS DC match-ups so I'm curious how this will go.

I have a theory about the episode order. I personally believe they’re trying to get fights with either a Marvel or DC character out of the way first.
I never heard of Jinx, so I was team Harley all the way!
You might think it's an INJUSTICE that Harley Quinn's gonna need redemption, but Jinx was in a whole 'nother LEAGUE.
The king has return
Hell yes he has :)
It was a lot better than I hoped in every way. Especially with the chemistry between both combatants. Added bonus was Elsie Lovelock as Jinx. 9/10
Indeed this has great combat chemistry
Elise returning was the icing
