DC-Universe - New Harley Quinn Animated Series Sneak Peek from NYCC

Par Mulder, 04 octobre 2018

During the world premiere of DCU’s first live-action series Titans, a sneak peek for another original series for the DC Universe platform was revealed too, featuring Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) as the voice leading role.

The video shows Harley secluded in Arkham Asylum greeting the NYCC audience and talking about what her series is going to have and yes, she’s aware she is in cartoon, breaking the 4th wall. Then (Poison) Ivy interrupts “I think they’re gonna hate it, Harls. They hate everything” making a reference to the bad reviews and hard criticism DC has in most of its projects (series, movies and even on some comics) while reading a Harley Quinn Comic

The caped crusader himself will be part of this series and makes an appearance in this teaser video, rising the expectations and attracting more fans even with Harley saying he’s a “buzzkill”. Batman will make sure there’s no fun in Arkham.

The final work seem to be a little different from the artwork shown earlier this year, with Harley having her classic look from her debut in the “Batman The animated series”, with the Harlequin mask and makeup, instead of her actual comic book counterpart.
