Harley Quinn Has a Vibrant Superhero Universe
While Gunn’s upcoming projects like Creature Commandos generate a nice buzz as part of the new DC Universe slate, Harley Quinn has carved out its own vibrant corner of the superhero world.
Unlike many interconnected superhero properties, this series stands independently, delivering a rewarding continuity without requiring viewers to keep up with a myriad of other movies and shows.
Kaley Cuoco’s portrayal of Harley Quinn brings a fresh and irreverent take on the onetime Batman villain, while the series creatively reimagines other iconic DC characters. Its ability to balance affection for superhero storytelling with irreverent humor makes it a standout.
