Batman and Harley Quinn was decent, I guess. Gets a 5/10 maybe. It definitely utilizes the PG-13 rating as far as cussing goes along with blood.
The artwork definitely invokes BTAS and it works great too. Ivy's design in particular benefited from that decision IMO but I've always liked her BTAS style. The plot was incredibly basic and the screenplay did the entire thing very little to work with beyond the team up aspect, which was done better in Harlequinade anyway. The story felt like something that could've worked if it had been properly fleshed out. The set designs and art is a highlight though and just visually you can 'see' this as being almost a B-Plot BTAS type episode.
There was almost no development to Ivy or Woodrue as villains beyond their evil scheme so it was hard to really give a shit about the stakes. We'd already seen the Batman/Harley team-up and the screenplay really didn't try to play around with it, which was a real shame. There were some lines & little moments but way too few and far between, same for Harley's interactions with Ivy when they finally do meet. The action was fine but it felt like the screenplay tried to use the action & set pieces to gloss over or hide the lack of character interaction and heavy dialogue which made the pacing come off as really fast especially by the final scene.
The screenplay had some potty humor that should've just been cut and a horrible "filler scene" where TWO songs were sung that was very reminiscent of Harley's Holiday (with Harley singing Blondie's "Hanging on the Telephone") that just dragged. It also had a poorly done death scene to try and show some humanity to Harley(?) but the person who died had such little screentime, who cared. I actually didn't mind the Harley/Nightwing stuff since it was clearly not meant to be 'serious relationship' and was treated as two in need of sex just boning each other.
All the voice actors were great to very solid. I enjoyed Melissa Rauch & Paget Brewster a lot as Harley/Ivy respectively, which surprised me given how well known their BTAS voices are. Conroy and Lester were fantastic, same for Richardson, so no real surprises there.
