HBO Max has released the trailer for the third season of “Harley Quinn”, Harley Quinn’s animated series for adults. The preview features Harley and Ivy (Poison Ivy) in an open relationship and makes some jokes with the Suicide Squad, including the kidnapping of Amanda Waller (the boss of the Squad) and a participation of James Gunn, the director of the latest film of the group, who plays himself in the production.

The video also has a sassy clip with Batman and Catwoman, in which it is noted that scenes from the couple’s sex life have been censored by DC Comics. The show’s co-creator Justin Halpern said DC executives vetoed an oral sex scene, “recommending” that it be removed from the show’s third season.

In an interview with Variety magazine, Halpern said censorship was a marketing requirement, “because, according to DC, it would be difficult to sell a Batman doll when it appears on television giving oral sex on Catwoman,” the said. producer. “They told me ‘you absolutely can’t do it because heroes don’t'”.

The cartoon is not the brainchild of the DC Comics animation team that created Harley Quinn, but the three producers of the underrated DC comedy series “Powerless”, Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker and Dean Lorey.

The vocal cast features Kaley Cuoco (the Penny from “Big Bang Theory”) as the anti-hero of the title, Lake Bell (“Bless This Mess”) as the voice of Poison Ivy, Alan Tudyk (“Doom Patrol”) as Joker and Clayface, Jim Rash (“Community”) as The Riddler, Ron Funches (“Too Many”) as King Shark, Diedrich Bader (“Veep”) as Batman, Sanaa Lathan (“Alien vs.”) as Catwoman and Wayne Knight (Newman from “Seinfeld”) as the Penguin.

The new episodes will premiere on July 28 in the US, but there is no confirmed date for Brazil. The first two seasons took some time to make available on the HBO Max national service.
