Batman and Harley Quinn was a peculiar experience, to say the least. I wanted to be excited about a potential continuation of the DCAU, but I knew to temper my expectations. Good thing I did. Aside from Conroy, Lester, and the visual style, it really didn't feel like the DCAU at all. It tried to use its PG-13 rating to be more "mature" and ended up being anything but. That's what baffles me: this PG-13 movie in 2017 felt less mature than a cartoon that aired during kids programming blocks in the 1990s. The tone was way off. It referenced the '60s show in places and incorporated some low-brow humor (part of the immaturity). So, imagine Batman:The Animated Series with profanity, sex, '60s Bat references, and....fart jokes. It just didn't mix.
The story was pretty basic and probably could have been condensed into a single episode of the show if they were smart about it. The ending was dumb and resorted to a couple of cheap jokes instead of resolving itself satisfactorily.
I never could warm up to Melissa Rauch as Harley. She didn't sound anything like Arleen Sorkin, and when the movie is throwing all the old character designs and other key voices at me, that's hard to get past. The accent just annoyed me. On the other hand, I thought Ivy's voice was fine. It was in the ballpark.
It probably doesn't help that I'm not a huge Harley fan. Her popularity is a mystery to me. I like her, particularly in association with The Joker, but I'm not crazy about her. Also, maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't think she has to be as sexualized as she normally is.
I went into this movie hoping it was officially a continuation of the DCAU. I came away hoping it wasn't.Comment
