matthias s @Thescreenasvor Nov 28 Batman and Harley Quinn is a deeply frustrating misfire—one that should have been far better than the final product. With a strong voice cast, polished animation, and Bruce Timm’s name attached, the film had every reason to succeed. Instead, it leans on raunchy humor and cheap, ill-fitting comedy that feels jarringly out of place, creating a tone so inconsistent it becomes distracting. Gotham may look familiar, but the charm and atmosphere that once defined it are nowhere to be found. The story itself is thin and oddly directionless, never justifying its runtime or its premise. What should have been a worthy addition to the DCAU lands as a disappointing 1.5-star stumble—irritating, misguided, and strangely hollow.

It was almost like they got writers from those terrible 2000’s National Lampoon movies. Other than the humor, the plot was not anything special and Melissa Rauch was a miscast. See more Retro C @RT85762021 10/12/2023 Batman and Nightwing reluctantly team up with a reformed Harley Quinn in order to track down Poison Ivy and Floronic Man, who are planning to turn everyone into plant people for whatever reason in this 2017 DC animated feature. With a reliable voice cast including Kevin Conroy back once more as the Dark Knight and an animation style akin to Batman: The Animated Series, Batman and Harley Quinn looked like a fun throwback with lots of potential for an interesting Harley Quinn storyline. Melissa Rauch voices the character and she does a decent job capturing just the right amount of feisty madness, not to mention delivering an unexpected rendition of Blondie's "Hanging On The Telephone". Unfortunately, that's about where the praise ends for this thoroughly disappointing and misguided DC outing. Story-wise, this is an often distracted mess with an unconvincing and uninspired maniacal Poison Ivy plan at its heart. The film includes some of the worst jokes in any DC movie, Batman and Nightwing take a back seat to a scene-devouring Harley Quinn and the anti-climactic ending will make you regret the past hour and a half you spent giving this movie a chance. The writing is the main problem with this film as Bruce Timm and Jim Krieg drop the ball constantly by having the overall tone yo-yo between juvenile goofiness (including fart jokes) and more raunchy adult themes (the Harley Quinn and Nightwing sex scene) throughout. It doesn't help that everyone seems to be acting out of character with Batman hiring Harley Quinn seemingly just because he couldn't be bothered to do any actual detective work so the whole thing is underwritten, to say the least. The characters' motivations are inconsistent and the film really feels like filler, which is a shame because using the same visuals and basic plot, one could have made something worthwhile. A last minute Swamp Thing cameo is wasted and the film ends on an embarrassingly cheesy note. It's like we were promised Batman: The Animated Series but what we got was Batman & Robin... yet somehow worse. If Batman and Harley Quinn is not the worst of the DC animated films, it's right up there. There is really no reason to watch this silly, lazily put together effort. Maybe see if you can find the Blondie clip on YouTube but, otherwise, nothing to see here. Even die hard Harley Quinn fans might disown this one. Pretty bad.

It lacks a good ending. See more Read all reviews
