Batman and Nightwing are forced to team with the Joker's sometimes-girlfriend Harley Quinn to stop a global threat brought about by Poison Ivy and Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man. Harley Quinn & Batman is absolutely genius. It's the iconic Bruce Tim Batman Animated series paying tribute to the Adam West TV series. If you don't think this movie is hilarious then you are no DC animated films fan. This is one of my personal favorites because of the writing and dialogue. The humor is spot on and perfectly matched to Harley's sexy yet quirky persona. The scene in the Bat Mobile with Harley in the back seat asking Batman to pull over because she has diarrhea (from eating too many hot wings) and because he refuses, she lets rip the most disgusting farts on earth, is just laugh out loud hysterical. I was rolling on the floor when Nightwing almost gags and Batman tries to focus on discipline as Harley giggles in the back seat. <br/><br/>If DC could squeeze some of this humor into their live action films, then they could surpass MARVEL in popularity. <br/><br/>I must point out that this is not for kids and I would bet my life savings that all these haters giving this movie 1 star are not just new fans but young ones. <br/><br/>I grew up in the Adam West Batman series so I consider this to be an amazing addition to an amazing collection. <br/><br/>Lighten up people… stop judging and critiquing so much and take a chill pill. Enjoy the ride, stop focusing on your expectations and put some faith into the creative people that put this together while you sat on your couch playing video games and eating pizza pockets. Bruce Timm decided to revisit the DC Animated Universe…for this? Taking place in a continuity devoid of any reference to the original series outside of the four characters which appear in the film, this is a lame buddy cop comedy, a silver age-type of story that drops Kevin Conroy Batman into a tits-n-ass parody full of panty shots, booty shaking, and mountains of innuendo. Batman and Nightwing need help defeating Poison Ivy and Flouronic Man, and find a recently paroled Harley Quinn (how did she get paroled? No way…just no way) to assist. That's the whole plot of this 70-minute slog that spends too much time building up to absolutely nothing.<br/><br/>Why revisit the universe if there's nothing to add but a nearly sexist goofball comedy that ignores any lore or interesting parts of the DCAU? Booster Gold makes a voice cameo, oh, hahaha, remember him from Justice League Unlimited? That's about it. Oh, and the plot revolves around Swamp Thing, who never appeared in the DCAU, yet Swamp Thing himself only shows up for 1 minute at the very end of the movie. And what an awful ending, too. Just a lame movie, with no reason to exist. It's not bad to look at in terms of quality animation, and there are a few laughs peppered in here and there, but overall its such a stupid movie that I'm ashamed it was made.
