Harley Quinn (TV series): Difference between revisions

Line 63:

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Dr. Psycho - a [[Depraved Dwarf]] - seems to have a fetish of sorts involving women much larger than he is. He brainwashed Giganta into marrying him and even sired a son before the brainwashing wore off and she left him. (Poison Ivy asks him in one episode [[Improbable Species Compatibility|how it was even possible]].) In a later episode, Poison Ivy drinks some formula that makes her grow to giant size, and Psycho quickly starts gawking at her.

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Initially, Harley seems willing to abandon Ivy, even volunteering to conduct her wedding to Kite-Man herself after gaining certification to do so. {{spoiler|However, Kite-Man applies the Trope himself, realizing Ivy would be much happier with Harley.}}

* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: {{spoiler|''The Joker'' of all people gives Gordon this speech in season 3. After Two-Face has double-crossed Gordon ''for the third time'' and has kidnapped Joker's adoptive son, Gordon is about to blow his brains outs, but Joker stops him, saying that nobody wants Two-Face dead more than he does, but Gordon is supposed to be the hero here, and this is not what a hero does. Of course, this may be the Joker's attempt to show that, while he is ''not'' a hero, he is also not the hypocrite Two-Face is.}}

* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]]: A variation in season 2 - Harley and her crew steal Mr. Miracle's boom-tube device in order to travel to Apokalypse and petition Darkseid for their servitude in exchange for an army. Darkseid considers it, but wants to test Harley's ''competence'' as well as loyalty, and thus demands she fight Granny Goodness. (Dr. Psycho was given the same chance earlier, he claims, but this is where he chickened out.) While Harley wins only because Psycho cheats (Darkseid specifically says she has to do it herself and Psycho buffs her using telekinesis) Darkseid either doesn't notice or doesn't care.

* [[Impossible Thief]]: While [[Catwoman]] has always been a master thief, this series pushes the boundaries of belief. In the first scene where she appears, she waltzes into a restaurant - in full costume - and casually lifts the jewelry from customers without being noticed. Then she manages to steal Ivy's jacket and put it on before Ivy notices. At the end of the episode she steals a ring from its box which Kite-Man has in his pocket - ''without even taking the ring box'' - and Kite-Man doesn't notice until he opens it.

Line 112:

Line 113:

** Kite-Man's mode of transport also becomes very useful when the earthquake destroys Gotham's infrastructure and there's no mass-transit.

* [[Through the Eyes of Madness]]: Possibly the reason for the show's [[Denser and Wackier]] content. Similar to her solo series in the comics, the viewer sees it from Harley's side of the conflict, and Harley is clearly nuts.

* [[Too Dumb To Live]]: Gordon, especially in season 3. What was he ''thinking'' trusting Two-Face, a villain whose very name suggests betrayal? Two-Face himself calls him out on it, ''twice''.

* [[Took A Level In Badass]]: After running on that treadmill so much, the Riddler becomes fit and muscular, able to use more than lame riddles against his foes.

* [[Traumatic Toggle]]: The Joker's plan to "erase" the identity of "Harley Quinn" by giving her a second dunking in the vat of chemicals that gave her that identity. [[Hoist by His Own Petard|It happens to him instead.]]
