Good animation with an alright story. Has all the potential to be a good movie but suffers from tonal inconsistency, jokes that are old hat, and a basic story. DC has much better animated films, I'd pass on this one and watch a better one.

This movie plays out like terrible Harley Quinn fan-fiction, written by one of those rabid Harley fans who doesn't care much about the rest of the DC universe.I had low expectations going in, and have no qualms about not taking Batman seriously - I enjoy Adam West Batman and The Brave and The Bold as much as I do BTAS, Nolanverse and Arkhamverse. But this was just unequivocally the worst of the worst. The comedy was horrendous, the fighting was awful, and the story was a train-wreck. It makes the Batgirl segment added into The Killing Joke look like a masterpiece in comparison.There are very few worse ways you could spend 1 hour and 14 minutes of your life, and most of them involve dying.

Granted, as most of you are saying here, the movie was not what was expected it to be. Nonetheless, i found it great. Most of the review up here are talking about how it's an insult to the original animated series but what you forget is that this is not an episode of that series. This is a stand alone feature film in the same style of the series. This means they used their original designs en animation style of the series and that's it. And being a feature film animator myself, they took that style to a whole new level with this movie. I loved the improved animation in the action sequences and it really worked well for me. Animation overall was better than what they did in the series.The Musical number was indeed a strange choice but i enjoyed it anyway. Especially when batman starts tapping his finger. Of course, this is completely off character but still it works and showed us that he does like music.What I think it boils down to is that most people expected to see batman, Nightwing, Harley... in their traditional way, the way they know these characters. What we got instead was a movie where the character were very human. A great example of this, and some people might find it distasteful, is the Harley/ Nightwing sequence. It made Nightwing much more human for me. He is a man, she is a sexy girl. How would you react? Another example is the ex boyfriend. This shows that Harley had a life and boyfriends and breakups. Sound familiar. Just think about it, this gave the character so much more depth then just being the villain we all know and love. Even the fart joke, I think a perfectly timed fart joke is timeless and is funny to anyone. And again that made characters more human with bodily functions. I personally think this is a very enjoyable mature superhero movie in a unconventional way and i will recommend it.

With the new mainstream popularity of Harley Quinn it was inevitable they were going to cash in, 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.Thats 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 Nightwing bedding Harley Quinn.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 againThe Bad: Inconsistent tone Most jokes fall flat Ridiculous opening credits Things I Learnt From This Movie: The DC dark and brooding days are long since gone Poison Ivy looks oddly like Kim Possible I can't hear Kevin Michael Richardson's voice without thinking of American Dads Principal Lewis
