The fifth season continues to explore their dynamic, which provides emotional depth amid the show’s sharp humor and chaotic antics. Late in the season, Ivy’s playful jab at “shippers” who dread a potential breakup between her and Harley underscores how integral their relationship has become to the series’ identity.
An Ensemble Cast That Shines
One of Harley Quinn’s greatest strengths is its rich ensemble of supporting characters. From obscure DC villains to reimagined takes on household names, the show offers clever and fresh perspectives on familiar faces.
The fifth season sees Harley and Ivy leaving Gotham City’s grim streets for Metropolis, where they encounter new challenges and quirky characters.
While Bruce Wayne (Diedrich Bader) remains an entertainingly whiny presence, and Superman (James Wolk) makes a few dim-witted appearances, the show shines brightest in its use of recurring characters like Bane (James Adomian), King Shark (Ron Funches), and Clayface (Alan Tudyk).
Though some plotlines, such as, King Shark’s familial drama, feel underwhelming, others, like Bane and Clayface’s roles in the climactic episodes, deliver satisfying payoffs.
