It's sure been a long while, but HBO/Max has geared up the animated, Harley Quinn series again, after delaying it from its once assured, November 2024 release.
Season 5 promises to hold even more mayhem, though it'll take place beyond Gotham in a Wizard of Oz homage, as filtered through Metropolis. An appearance from Superman is assured. (I'm rather hoping we'll even get Lois Lane in the mix. It would be interesting to see how a traditional Lois, or even a nontraditional one, might interact with this show's versions of Harley and Ivy.)
Beyond the obvious, criminal couple, old favorites Shark King, Clayface, Frank the Plant and Bane continue as regulars. (I quite enjoy all four, but there's just something about Bane's wry lament, as presented via the Tom Hardy intonation, that really hits the satirical spot for me.)
It's hard to comment on a string of episodes I haven't seen yet, but I'm looking forward to another irreverent batch of stories and will offer my two cents worth on such after the season is done.
Harley Quinn: Season 5 commences January 16 and concludes March 20.
