"Harley Quinn (HBO Max)" Animated Series News & Discussion, Part 2 (Spoilers)

[Yojimbo]

YES. Finally some good news. Going back to the EIDR list, if season 4 was already being worked on back to back, we stand a good chance of seeing season 4 next year. 2024 at the latest. I'd guess the former and before HBO Max and Discovery+ merges into one.

Sarah Peters has been a writer since season one so shouldn't a gigantic shift and having also been a consulting producer, not too worried. Like Noonan's, not shocked Schumacker and Halpern are going hands off and letting others drive the boat. I suspect they had to make the choice because they're juggling multiple projects at once like with Abbott Elementary and whatever else they may have cooking.

Kind of does lend to the idea:

Spoiler

That Harley and Ivy end up moving in different directions as hero/villain but still remain together as a couple .

Harley Quinn season 3 was due to premiere in the UK tonight on E4, but it has been pulled due to the death of The Queen. I imagine they might edit that scene out entirely before showing the episode.

Oh, yeah, I didn't think of it before...but yeah .

Yeah... that thing that happens at the start would have not been taken well in the UK. Very eerie timing though.

It's pretty concerning when shows at the writing stage have to be worried about cancellation, but that's been a norm these past few years. I'm glad things worked out for them.

A Bane episode sounds fun. I just assumed we'd get more of him in Noonan's.

Details on the third issue of Harley Quinn: Legion of Bats are now available. Check out the details at WF!

 

[Yojimbo]

During the Q&A on instagram, it was mentioned all of season 4 is written and most has been recorded. Schumacker was a little cagey about Ivy and Harley having a baby.

Several of the show's artists made a poster as a tribute to George Perez and Romeo Tanghal.

It's both poignant and funny how well this works .

A better subtitle than the Birds of Prey movie got at any rate.

 

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Wow you rarely see a series nowadays get a stand alone Valentine's day special. Christmas and Halloween sure and yeah lots of cartoons do have Valentine Day themed epsiodes but... can't think of many in the last 20 years that have stand alone specials about it but it makes sense for Harley Quinn. It also seems like this will involve Superman and Wonder Woman (and... Darkseid as well if Michael Ironside is coming back) based on the voice cast (though no Batman oddly enough. Heh guess if he's supposed to be in prison they wouldn't want to do any jokes about the romance he would get in there) which is cool I'm down for a Family Guy "Valentine's Day In Quahog" esque "episode that details little mini adventures of all the couples around." Does make me wonder who Janet Varney is playing since I assume Vanessa Marshall is still Wondy here but yeah looking forward to it.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Pretty cool news. I wonder if this special part of that "bonus stuff" they mentioned were recording last year, or if there's more.

 

[SweetShop209]

The only cartoons from the past few years I can think of with standalone Valentine's Day specials (not part of a seasonal order) would probably be Big Mouth and If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.

That's cool! I wonder if this technically counts as part of season 4 or is really it's own thing .

I expect lots of sex in this special .

I wonder if they'll feature other couples too...

 

[Yojimbo]

It will. Towards the bottom, it lists the cast of the special. Basically all the couples will be there plus Bane.

So we've got Superman and Lois confirmed, Riddler (which means Clock King), Kite Man (which means Golden Glider?) Vanessa Marshall (so either Diana with Steve Trevor or Giganta?), Nora (so Swamp Thing?), Joker (which probably means Bethany) and some new faces .
