The decision to relocate Harley and Ivy from Gotham to Metropolis brings a fresh dynamic to the show. Gotham’s apocalyptic state—complete with mutant rats and radioactive puddles—leads the duo to seek refuge in Metropolis’s cleaner, more modern environment.

However, chaos seems to follow Harley and Ivy wherever they go. The season introduces a new villain, the alien android Brainiac (Stephen Fry), whose sinister plans gradually unfold.

Meanwhile, Lena Luthor (Aisha Tyler), Lex Luthor’s seemingly less evil sister, emerges as a surprising antagonist with shades of last season’s memorable Talia al Ghul.
