I haven't seen the last couple episodes, but the writers really dug themselves a hole making the Kite-Man pairing so beloved if they intend to go IvyQuinn this season

Ludicrous chutzpah that he somehow gets away with through luck and fundamental decency is his calling card, so i think he'll break up with her and they'll stay friends afterwards.

twistedmentat posted:Didn't they say officially that Ivy and Harley have/are a thing? The Harley Quinn ongoing where that's from is not part of the continuity. Harley in main continuity is definitely in a relationship with Ivy but it's sorta ambiguous atm (more on Ivy's part at this point than Harley's).

Ah that's interesting. I just googled Harley and Ivy comic and that's what I got. I could see them adding Batgirl next season and have her be Harley's offical nemesis but they're friends outside of the cape buisness. Also no Joker, at all. Nope, nothing he's dead. Never gonna see him again.

Current continuity, Harley is road tripping with Ivy and trying to go legit while also being pursued by one of Ivy's personal enemies. This was after both of them signed up for a house for costumed people looking for therapy that ended up with everyone but a few people dead (arguably no one important died though). Also Harley is currently part of the Suicide Squad

I don't read (most) comics so coming to the realization that Sy Borgman isn't exclusive to this cartoon is blowing my mind a bit.

Not the first cartoon to scrape up obscure D-listers from the comics. The short-lived Beware the Batman actually made a point of not using any of the well-known villains in favour of obscure ones. (though in practice they ended up retooling the obscure ones to fit the roles of the well-known ones; Magpie with a Lady Gaga-inspired makeover became the Catwoman analogue, Anarky for the Joker, and I think Professor Pyg was an ecoterrorist like Ivy) Gotham also used a few, like the Electrocutioner, the Dollmaker and again Professor Pyg. Has some upsides, including that you can change up characters and have them act basically whatever role you need and no one will really care. (They explicitly said something like that when changing Doofus Drake for the new DuckTales; they actually looked around on the internet to see if the character had any fans for some reason and they found exactly two pieces of fan art, neither were flattering) Clayface is probably the most prominent character to get significant changes, but then again, there's been quite a few takes on the character. The comics have had three, and The Batman briefly had two running around at the same time, the second of which was a failed actor similar to this one.

I liked what Gotham did with Victor Fries and Nora because it was different. Instead of Nora being frozen, Victor was trying to figure out how to freeze her without killing her but by the time he figured out the right formula, Nora realised what kind of person he was turning into to save her from her disease, so when he finally got the formula right and was about to use it, she tricked him into leaving the room and switched the cartridge in the gun for an old one, killing herself because she didn't want to be the reason he was killing people.

I actually think most the DC series and cartoons, even the CW Arrowverse ones, have been pretty good at using from the vast catalogue of existing comic book and cartoon villains for their throwaway villains of the week, like the Flash S4 "bus metas", that included Killg%re, Hazard, Weeper, Fallout, The Fiddler etc, and even the villains threated like throwaway jokes (like "the Condiment King" in Lego Batman Movie or Kite man in Harley Quinn) are "established" characters. Myself, I'm not THAT well versed in comic books, so it has become a normal routine to google all these names and find out that they were in fact a character in some obscure batman story from the 1940's or something.

Daikloktos posted:Hahah, they ended up burning off the airing contract by marathoning these after midnight on Adult Swim. Can't imagine what kind of ratings poison would prompt that. Nothing. This was in the middle of the they really hate DC phase for Cartoon Network. Show was doing fine ratings wise then they pulled it off the air at episode 9, with no explanation, gave no hint at it's return and basically pretended it did not exist. (They had previously done this to Young Justice.) The DVD for the first half the season featured episodes that had not aired yet, and the rest of the series aired in other countries first. Eventually the announced it was part of Toonami. But after a few episodes there, CN then wrote the show off as a failure meaning it could never air again forcing Toonami to air the final 7 episodes in a marathon or just dropping it the week after with 7 episodes unaired.

Even Tudyk's character in Powerless was a cousin of Bruce Wayne from a single Batman issue in 1962. The writers love this stuff.

Yeah, Beware the Batman wasn't BAD, just a bit wonky. Though Professor Pyg and assistant had no reason to be in the show in their incarnation.

Wasn't there a comic at one point where Ivy/Harley were talking to Batgirl and one of them says something about being surprised that Batgirl and then-Supergirl (forget which one was in that role at the time) weren't a couple, and they should double-date sometime?

I wouldn't be surprised if even villains who definitely died come back due to comic book shenanigans. I mean the penguin just has an umbrella gun and money and somehow he hasn't been killed before?

Of the Rogue's Gallery he's closest to what Ivy described as being "a bad guy, but not a bad person." He'd fit in pretty well with the rest of her crew, and the (relatively more) supportive environment would be good for him.

I like how that the bar they were hanging out was at Noonan's from the Hitman Comic. Hitman is great and Tommy Monaghan and his crew should show up in other media.
