The launch of the DC Comics franchise reboot in 2025 marks the definitive end of the Snyderverse era, which began in 2013 with Man of Steel. But while Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman will soon feature new actors, the past decade has seen the completion of several projects that mark the history of DC Studios.
And among these successes, it is impossible not to think about the animated series Harley Quinn, which will air from 2019! This program was created after the success of the feature film Suicide Squad, although it was created as a completely independent film from David Ayer, and its semi-reboot The Suicide Squad by James Gunn.
Harley Quinn’s greatest achievement, of course, is being able to stay true to the core of DC Comics, more specifically the Batman universe, while offering something new and original.
The women of the DC Comics universe are taking power
A relatively recent character in the Batman universe (she made her big debut in the 1992 animated series), Harley Quinn makes her first animated series appearance as a main character, having previously been considered the Joker’s muse. of the Joker.
Now at the helm of her own team of villains, including Clayface and the simple-but-charming King Shark, Harley Quinn approaches another DC Comics super-foe, one she doesn’t hesitate to take on. Not to form an inseparable duo: Pamela Isley, alias Poison Ivy.
Fueled by many winks and other easter eggs, Harley Quinn is also designed as a parody of previous DC productions. Bane, who will appear in the animated series, reprises the same distinctive voice as Tom Hardy’s version in The Dark Knight Rises, new DC Studios boss James Gunn will also appear in his own role in the third season…
A real public and critical success, Harley Quinn does not seem to be affected by the reboot of the DC franchise for now, and a fourth season has already been ordered by HBO Max (US broadcasting platform), as well as a spin-off dedicated to the superhero Kite Man.

We also imagine that future seasons of the series will have a lot to say about the events that have marred the news at DC Studios, namely the cancellation of the third Wonder Woman movie and especially Henry Cavill’s departure as Superman. Although his return was announced a few weeks earlier.
