Just awful. Totally out of character, Harley breaks up with Mistah J, turns in her bestie Poison Ivy and decides to become a hero – for no reason besides DC wanting to make her more “safe” to like, I guess? Batman meanwhile stands in the background with his arms crossed.
So DC decided to cash in on nostalgia by returning to the awesome world of Batman: The Animated Series, and Harley is super popular these days so she gets top billing with Batpants – but that’s all it reads like: cynical marketing, putting these two together.
Ty Templeton – yet another artist who can draw but can’t write – is completely lost at sea in trying to make any of these unbelievably boring stories remotely interesting and Rick Burchett’s art is scratchy and unappealing – think a Tijuana Bible version of Bruce Timm’s iconic style.
I’d say this book is for dumb kids only except I don’t think any kid has the attention span to stick out something this tedious to the miserable end. Batman and Harley is for no one, anywhere, ever!
