@@bigfatcarp93 I remember when one of the animated Batman movies came out during this, and I was so bored the moment Ivy showed up in it, since it was the usual Ivy... as opposed to the more chill version of her from the show.
This show is probably the the first time I actually liked Harley's new 52 design by tying the original design to her abusive relationship and the new design sybolizing her escape from it.
@@Arkayjiya Doesn't surprise me, but I don't really follow Harley's books so I just viewed it as a "fan service" costume change that I didn't like. Now I get what it's meant to convey.
@@wolfpack_104 I think the camera here vs. in the comics definitely helps a lot. Fan service is more than just having a revealing costume but how much what is revealed is emphasized by the camera and its angles. I big problem in comics is that, even with full-body suit, women will still be drawn and positioned in ways that greatly emphasize and draw attention to their breasts, butts, and any bare skin. Here Harley's basically wearing the same outfit as the comics but the camera focuses around her the same as it does for any other character like Joker or Batman. How revealing her outfit is isn't given as much attention as what she's saying or doing, so the fan service feels far less intrusive. Another example of this, just see the difference between Wonder Woman in her solo movie vs. the theatrical JL movie. Same actress, same character, wearing basically the same outfit, but the latter has significantly more shots of her ass.
@@aros0018 I haven't seen the JL movie, but I get your point all the same. The costume of a hero/vilain and how it's presented can convey an unspoken message behind the intent/motivation of the person wearing it (and the artist drawing it). Really glad the writers for this show understood the intention behind the costume and made its inclusion better as a result.
@@nicholashylton6857 Yeah it started out underrated because a lot of people were sick of "woke garbage" content. After a bit people figured out it was actually good though and now its pretty solidly appreciated.
@@aundersave It's funny, you'd think this would be a white sup[remacist joke, but Joker has historically been viciously anti-white supremacist. There was a team-up with him and Red Skull, and when Joker learned who he aligns himself with he beat the crap out of him. His only redeemable quality imo is that he will punch a racist on sight.
Jim Gordon is voiced by Christopher Meloni who played a main role on Law & order special victims unit. I like to think it was great practice for what Jim Gordon would actually be like after decades on the Gotham police force. It sure sounds like Chris is having fun. Also, Ivy got the idea to set up the acid from Harley herself. Ivy asked Harley Quinn to ask Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel. Its brilliant, Harley got her own freedom from her own skill as psychologist. No character is weak or sacrificed to make other characters seem cool or powerful.
I agree I thought the show was going to blow but I wound up really liking it although IMO the ending of the current season got a little hard for me to get through
@@hunterwaguespack3963 Still even the hard parts are better than most of the shows we expected it to be like. I mean the new magical girl friendship squad thing isn't as good at any point so far as any part of this show.
I’m really surprised how quickly I flipped on this show. After watching the first teaser, I thought that it was going to try way too hard to be “whacky and edgy”. Then I eventually binged the first season in a week.
Pretty much the same. This is the first thing I've seen that actually made Harley work as a fully-formed character for me, rather than just being fan service, comic relief, or the Joker's henchwoman/abuse victim.
@@antonbrakhage490 Yeah they really focused in on Harley and those close to her so that they could make up for the rest of the universes rough designs. As long as Harley is fun, the show is good.
Yes!! I never thought you’d react to this show since season 2 finished awhile ago. Honestly one of my favourite shows it felt like the quality never dipped it stayed consistently good
Just caught up on this show, I didn’t watch it for a long time, and realizing I had HBO max and whatever else, prompted me to finally watch it, I love it holy shit. It’s so good. That’s all I can say, I’ve gotten goosebumps multiple times. And I just laugh cause it’s so silly yet so compelling, they do such a good job. Btw I’m on 3x5 as I write this, so excited for the next one
Actually, Eric, while Harley was created for Batman: The Animated Series it was Paul Dini who created her, not Bruce Timm. Her personality was also loosely based off of Arleen Sorkin, Paul Dini's college friend who also voiced Harley right up until 2009.
i appreciate that yall waited until after the show to look up voice actor. idky but it really aggravates me when people get so distracted by figuring out actors in the middle of a reaction that they miss things in the show
This is such an amazing show. I can’t wait for them to meet this shows version of Bane. Easily one of the best characters and most quotable from the show.
Sadly dawning on me how so few people know how fantastic the Harley Quinn animated series is. Top notch comedic writing & so delightfully subversive in its wholesomeness narrative of empowerment and friendship juxtaposed against insane amounts of violence and gore
I completely ignored it until recently cause I was so tired of super hero crap and empowerment stories (doesnt help that both also tend to be bad) and im so disappointed that i deprived myself of such a good show. They managed to do super villains AND empowerment and have neither be lame.
I LOVE this show! Like honestly not only one of my favorite DC shows but cartoons in general. Plus, I think this is arguably the best version of modern Harley. I love how with all of the violence and humor the story and character growths are on point.
This show is honest to god my favorite DC animated show since Justice League Unlimited. And the quotes of this episode alone are gold. No comedy show has made me LMAO in the first 10 seconds. I was a little skeptical about the casting of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy but now I Fucking love them.
So glad you started this show. I think it'll really surprise you because it sure as hell surprised me both in comedy and storytelling. Also Diedrich Bader voiced Batman in the show "The Batman" that was really good.
Finally, you guys started reacting to this show! The good thing about starting so late is that you don't have to wait every week for a new episode, both Seasons are now available. I hope it gets a Season 3, it's too good not to.
@@chillpill8057 BoP got the tone a Harley Quinn movie should have perfectly right, but other than that, it's all meh. The story was alright I guess but I would've liked if BoP teamed up a lot earlier. But the thing I hate most, is how they did Black Mask dirty. I'll never forgive Cathy Yan for pussyfying Black Mask just to push her own Men bad message

Blind Wave please watch more than one episode a week
What happened to B99?
The dc animated movies are so good. You should do a watch party for those movies. Starting with justice league: parkside war.
Did you guys stop Brooklyn 99?
This show has my favorite version of Poison Ivy to date, I absolutely adore how they wrote her in this.
She's literally the most capable member of the squad, and the rest of them would be dead many times over without her 😂
@@bigfatcarp93 I remember when one of the animated Batman movies came out during this, and I was so bored the moment Ivy showed up in it, since it was the usual Ivy... as opposed to the more chill version of her from the show.
This version of Ivy is my spirit animal. She reminds me of Daria back when MTV used to make cartoons.
Yeah, me too.
Agreed she’s easily my favorite character of the show
Best line was “I ate an orange and shit out a seed!”
That never gets old!!! 🤣🤣🤣
06:21 Harley Quinn and Joker: kissing
Me: Kristen Bell and Jason Segel 😘😘🥰🥰😍😍🥴🥴🤢🤢🤮🤮
"HE DOESN'T DO THAT!!" Is my favourite
This show is probably the the first time I actually liked Harley's new 52 design by tying the original design to her abusive relationship and the new design sybolizing her escape from it.
There's a pretty creepy sequence in the Injustice games about it.
I'm pretty sure that's always been the intent. The new 52 version had the exact same origin story for the design.
@@Arkayjiya Doesn't surprise me, but I don't really follow Harley's books so I just viewed it as a "fan service" costume change that I didn't like. Now I get what it's meant to convey.

Oh god, please do this entire show. It’s amazing and super underrated.
They definetly will lmao
10:20+10:21+10:22
Underrated? Not by much. I have heard only good things.
@@nicholashylton6857 Yeah it started out underrated because a lot of people were sick of "woke garbage" content. After a bit people figured out it was actually good though and now its pretty solidly appreciated.
Literally starts of the series with *"MY FELLOW WHITES"*
Of course the joker says that.
@@aundersave It's funny, you'd think this would be a white sup[remacist joke, but Joker has historically been viciously anti-white supremacist. There was a team-up with him and Red Skull, and when Joker learned who he aligns himself with he beat the crap out of him. His only redeemable quality imo is that he will punch a racist on sight.
Puts you off kilter and immediately sets the tone of the show. I thought it was a brilliant choice.
@@aundersave i think he meant the makeup
@@zalizoo0402 yeah EVEN someone as messed up as joker he still hates nono germans
This is the most graphic, violent and inappropriate show i've ever seen
I love it
Hydra Hunter I guess you haven’t watched the boys
Yes, finally they are reacting to this...
It's one of my favourite TV shows
Watch The Boys
After the Boys...watch Misfits. And after that watch Future Man.
@@djsosonut nah misfits first cause nothing will surprise or shock after the boys.
This is the best birthday gift I could ask for, and it's not even my birthday.
Happy Un-birthday!!!
Happy Birthday!
Happy.... day
Happy not a your Birthday Day
Happy birthday!
It's gonna be some day so when it is just come back here and read it
Diedrich Bader was the voice of Batman for the Brave and Bold series.
The voice acting in this series just keeps getting better.
Jim Gordon is voiced by Christopher Meloni who played a main role on Law & order special victims unit. I like to think it was great practice for what Jim Gordon would actually be like after decades on the Gotham police force. It sure sounds like Chris is having fun.

This show, god I thought i would hate it but its goddamn amazing and hilarious
Me too
Hope they announce season 3
It was the trailer tbh, it didn't do it justice. Made it feel like it was just try harding, and pandering.
I agree I thought the show was going to blow but I wound up really liking it although IMO the ending of the current season got a little hard for me to get through
@@hunterwaguespack3963 Still even the hard parts are better than most of the shows we expected it to be like. I mean the new magical girl friendship squad thing isn't as good at any point so far as any part of this show.
Finally! This show is one of the best animated dc shows I’ve ever seen!
Then you have not seen a lot of dc animated shows
@@Crinjester name them and I’ve seen them
"HE DOESN'T DO THAT!!" Fucking killed me first time I watched it
I’m really surprised how quickly I flipped on this show. After watching the first teaser, I thought that it was going to try way too hard to be “whacky and edgy”. Then I eventually binged the first season in a week.
Pretty much the same.
This is the first thing I've seen that actually made Harley work as a fully-formed character for me, rather than just being fan service, comic relief, or the Joker's henchwoman/abuse victim.
They want full wacky and edgy but with good timing and humor lmao
Yup same here. I think that was most people's expectation for the show, but I'm glad that it actually was above expectations.
@@antonbrakhage490 Yeah they really focused in on Harley and those close to her so that they could make up for the rest of the universes rough designs. As long as Harley is fun, the show is good.
Just binged the first season yesterday. In one day.
Y’all are going to have a great time with this show
FINALLY! Been waiting for you guys to start this one for so dang long 😂
I was hoping you guys would react to this show 😅
Same here
Fun fact: Margot Robbie was originally suppose to voice Harley in the show but didn’t because of scheduling conflicts.
I had serious reservations about Cuoco (really not a BBT fan), but she totally knocked it out of the park IMO.
@@glenmcculla6843 She really did.
Just you wait...the voice cast for this series just gets better and better. You haven't even heard Tudyk's *real* masterPIECE!!!!
I love that show, it's so over the top and violent but at the same time, it got some fun discussions under the hood...
Love Alan Tudyk in this show. He is a great Joker as well as many other characters
Oh my gosh they finally get to see the best version of Bane! My boy!
There's a nonzero chance that before they get to that episode.... he'll BLOW THEM UP! 😂
06:09+06:10+06:11+06:12+06:13
I cannot wait to see their reaction to Bane.
@@Hockeyhobo89 I take it you dont like kiteman
Top three funniest characters for me. Clayface just wrecks me
I love harley new outfit and her hair, So cool
Dietrich Bader has been the voice of Batman for a while. Like he’s second to Kevin Conroy in terms of voice.
Yeah he voices him in Batman: The Brave And The Bold.
My theory he is the guy they go to for "funny batman".
I love what they did with the characters in this show.
Diedrich Bader is amazing as Batman, plays him perfectly straight in an inherently silly world.
Diedrich Bader is an underrated Batman. He was great in Brave and the Bold.
Super happy you guys are watching this. probably the best show DC has right now.
Ah more DC reactions. Today is a good day
YOOOOOOOO you're doing the HQ Animated Series!!! Finallyyyyy.
Everyone need a friend like Ivy.
"its a flame thrower Aaron" he sounded so disipointed in him lol
Yes!! I never thought you’d react to this show since season 2 finished awhile ago. Honestly one of my favourite shows it felt like the quality never dipped it stayed consistently good
Thank-you SO MUCH for reacting to this! I've been waiting for this. I wish everyone was apart of this one
Please watch all of it! It's better and better with each episode!
I can’t wait for u to see bane he’s hilarious in this show
Just caught up on this show, I didn’t watch it for a long time, and realizing I had HBO max and whatever else, prompted me to finally watch it, I love it holy shit. It’s so good. That’s all I can say, I’ve gotten goosebumps multiple times. And I just laugh cause it’s so silly yet so compelling, they do such a good job.
Btw I’m on 3x5 as I write this, so excited for the next one
It makes me so happy that you guys recognized all the other villains in the background!
I fucking loved this show from beginning to end. I fucking LOVED IT. I don't think that I had a choice but to stan.
4:01
“NO WONDER YOUR DAD DON’T REMEMBER YOUR BIRTHDAY!”
Best line for a first episode…
this is an amazing show. good action, great comedy and a surprisingly heartfelt story underneath it all.
What a great surprise! I only just finished binge watching this show. Great arc story, and even hits the feels.
Actually, Eric, while Harley was created for Batman: The Animated Series it was Paul Dini who created her, not Bruce Timm. Her personality was also loosely based off of Arleen Sorkin, Paul Dini's college friend who also voiced Harley right up until 2009.

I LOVE this show! Like honestly not only one of my favorite DC shows but cartoons in general. Plus, I think this is arguably the best version of modern Harley. I love how with all of the violence and humor the story and character growths are on point.
Just finished the series last night. Now I get to watch it all over again!!

the characters are fantastic here, the violence and and language feel natural to who they are
Finally. So glad you guys are watching it!
I was waiting for you guys to react to this show for months now!! I love this show!! It is AMAZING!!
Vanessa Marshall has also voiced Wonder Woman in a number of projects (hint hint), and she was Black Canary in Young Justice

One of my favorite series to come out from DC so far ❤
It’s actually so funny to imagine Penny from The Big Bang Theory saying all the stuff that Harley says
I never for a minute cared about that.
Hyped for your reaction to this show! Been thinking how you will react to it haha
Just wait until you meet Bane. MVP!!!
you guys are only watching this now? omg guys this was like one of the best shows of the last couple years lol
Finally, you guys started reacting to this show! The good thing about starting so late is that you don't have to wait every week for a new episode, both Seasons are now available. I hope it gets a Season 3, it's too good not to.
This Show is a gem for DC. I’ve always loved Harley Quinn and I adore what this series has done for her :).
