Batman and Harley Quinn (2017)

Plot wise, not much to say, but then again it isn't about the plot it's about DC humor, or better yet, Harley's humor. To me it was very entertaining. For mature crowd, since it has some "adult humor." All in all a good tribute to the Adam West TV series.

Fmovies: While the voice acting was great, nothing else was even meh about this.

If they wanted to make a Harley movie, they should have made a good one. Harley Vs Ivy with Batman and "Night-wig" along for the ride was a great idea in theory but poorly poorly poorly executed. Just another cash grab capitalizing on Harley's popularity.

Thin plot, terrible jokes, characters lacked depth, tried way too hard to be zany. This is the Batman Universe, not Family Guy.

Even as a B-movie parody, it's still terrible. Nothing clever about how any of it was done. Wasted opportunity.

This made Teen Titans Go! look like Shakespeare.

I enjoyed this movie. The animation was simple, but it was clearly a particular style they were going for, and it was well executed.

The jokes I found were entertaining, and the dialogue good also. I like how it's not made for kids.

Batman and Harley Quinn fmovies. With the new mainstream popularity of Harley Quinn it was inevitable they were going to cash in, and with the forthcoming movie coming out were teased a future Quinn/Ivy team up with this animated DC venture.

Immediately I was struck with the inconsistency of the tone, it looks and sounds like the old Batman animated series but blood, swearing and over sexualisation of Quinn was present. But then the opening credits was like a Pink Panther movie, half the sequences were camp comedy and the whole thing felt like the original series on acid.

That's not saying it wasn't watchable, but its like that Family Guy/Simpsons crossover. It was like a Simpsons episode, with blood violence and rape jokes. Something about it just felt wrong.

Batman and Harley Quinn is a Saturday Morning cartoon with content thrown into keep adults entertained and they've been doing that a lot lately. What with Batman sleeping with Batgirl in the huge letdown that was Killing Joke (2016), Deadshot hooking up with Killer Frost in Assault On Arkham (2014) and here we have another such encounter.

Due to the mixed tone I really didn't enjoy this as much as I wanted to. It was like mixing the Adam West series with the Nolan Franchise and blending it with the animated TV show.

The Good:

Great voice work

Nice to see old school Harley Quinn again

The Bad:

Inconsistent tone

Most jokes fall flat

Ridiculous opening credits

This movie is an utter disgrace to the Batman animated series we loved in the 90s. I would never think a Batman animated movie would resort to fart jokes. The new voice actor for Harley is awkward. The animation is sometimes choppy as if this was animated in 2001. The ending is a joke, and it symbolizes the mediocrity of the movie

I didn't take this movie quite as serious as some who've reviewed it here on IMDb. Their views are perfectly valid and insightful and I for one appreciate their efforts; I guess I just assumed this movie was going to be offbeat (due to the title) and went in just hoping to be entertained not to have a life-changing experience. Guess what?! I really was (entertained that is)! In my opinion, it was just the right amount of nostalgia for Batman The Animated Series (BTAS) of the 90's with a bit of modern WTF & OMG thrown in for good measure. I was genuinely shocked a couple of times (you'll know when you get to THAT scene) and laughed out loud at others (keep your eyes out for the Batusi!!) Thought I must admit, I really missed Arleen Sorkin's voice as Harley. Not sure what happened there WB?! I mean, it seems like a no brainer to bring her back if you bring everyone else from BTAS back (just sayin').

One way you might be able to enjoy 'Batman & Harley Quinn' more is if you just look at it as a really long "lost episode" of BTAS, not an addition to the DC Animated Universe. That's what I found myself doing. I didn't love every single episode of BTAS (gasp!) but I did love the entire series overall. There are people who will trash this film, stating that it somehow destroyed their childhood, but honestly, if that's the case then they took it WAY too seriously. It was exactly what the title implied; a crazy hybrid story that intertwines Batman (and Nightwing) with a Harley Quinn story. My suggestion is this: if you are hankerin' for an animated film, want to be entertained and maybe kill 75 min., watch this quirky, sometimes shocking flick.

Lighten up people, or as a great clown once said..."Why so serious?!"
