Interview with the showrunners on season two. They talk about Batgirl, Catwoman, and how the season builds towards Ivy and Harley's eventual romance www.newsarama.com/49668-harley-quinn-the-animated-series-second-season-explores-harley-and-ivys-romantic-sparks.htmlCan't say I'm very happy that they're going there, simply because it's long been played out and that Kite Man has much better romantic chemistry with Ivy. At least the showrunners don't seem to be kicking him to one side and will still be exploring his relationship with both Ivy and Harley, with Harley coming to respect him towards the end of the season and understanding what Ivy saw in him. I’m pretty okay with it. DC likes to tease it all the time but they never really commit to it. It’s like they’re fine with those two f***ing, but them being in a committed relationship or even an open relationship is just a bridge too far for them. They always seem to treat Harley’s pansexuality like its some college phase she’s going through |

I honestly don’t remember that, all I remember since Rebirth is the constant tease of them being a couple. But I also didn’t read anything between Infinite Crisis and Rebirth |

But I also didn’t read anything between Infinite Crisis and Rebirth They straight up were a couple until recently when there was a Ivy clone/offspring that Harley didnt recognize she wasnt the original,so Ivy broke up. |

I could’ve sworn that early in the Rebirth run of Harley Quinn they firmly established that they were better off being just friends. Didn’t they immediately segue into Harley f***ing that dude who got fridged a couple issues later? And then the Harley and Ivy mini teased they were gonna finally sort things out and then that crashed and burned. EDIT: In fact, isn’t that part of why Ivy was mad? That Harley just ignored the obvious signs that that wasn’t the real Ivy just because she so badly wanted them to be a happy couple? |

That guy was around for quite a while - introduced in the New 52 series, was an interest, went to jail for reasons, got out in the Rebirth series and was then killed off. And he was quite aware (and cool) with her friend/relationship with Ivy.... IIRC Conner & Palmiotti were definitely working with HQ being bisexual (while, possibly, leaving Ivy a bit ambiguous?) during their run. |

I ducked out immediately after Infinite Crisis and came back Rebirth. Conner and Palmiotti did seem to run with the idea of Harley being bi. Or would it be pan? I honestly don’t believe the concept of gender factors into Harley’s sexual decisions, so what would that be? Moral of the story is Harley’s solo title sucks unless Conner and Palmiotti are involved. I think that was the point of all this |

I believe that's pan, and y'know that's probably a much more accurate way to describe the Conner & Palmiotti HQ..... hell, I could honestly see their HQ flat out saying what you said. |

Also, that Ivy clone idea was dumb as f*** and really undercut an enjoyable miniseries.

Ironically, in the DCAU comics revealing what happened to her after Batman: TAS transitioned to New Batman Adventures, Ivy created a clone of herself so it could keep Harley happy while she settled down with another man and went back to botany. |

Palmotti and Conner run is where they said they were in a relationship. They might not have been exclusive but they were definitely together (I think Harley and Deadshot had a thing during Suicide Squad around the same time but that could also have been around the time DC decided that continuity was stupid and basically torpedoed their entire company for a few months) |

Anything happening in SSquad and Batman books and other main titles almost seems to not even factor in elsewhere. It'd probably be a bloody mess if they decided to factor it into other DC books, and vice versa, so I guess we should be happy? Maybe? I must admit what books I have beyond Conner & Palmiotti's run are delightfully screwy in the meta sort of way. (DC and continuity are in a tumultuous relationship already, yes, but that corner seems especially weird.) |

Super confusing and basically all of their sales sank, adn they admitted it was a dumb idea. |

From what I recall of the New 52 and Rebirth comics, Ivy and Harley were officially a couple, but had an open relationship.

Putting that aside.
The first episode was REALLY good. With some good action and I really enjoyed Mr.Freeze

Just found out a couple days ago Season 2 had already started, so got caught up on that over the weekend. This show is still so much better then I expected it to be, it’s so funny
Gordon and Damien as Batman on the GCPD rooftop was absolutely hilarious.

SyFy has been airing episodes of HQ on Sunday night/Monday morning for 2 weeks now. Seems they're doing 3-4 episode marathons to get the first season aired, so we've got a couple airings to go. I was waiting for the DVD but hey now it's all showing up on my DVR instead.
And wow, it's very much unedited. Language wise at least. I mean, unless Dr. Psycho really dropped the c-bomb in the 3rd episode and it went thru (that was bleeped in this TV airing), VERY NSFW language was aired on SyFy.
Good stuff. They don't rely too much on the language to shock (first episode, eh a bit, but it drops off after that a bit), the voice cast is pretty great, and I gotta say it's rather fun which lines up with what I'd been hearing while it was running on DC Universe..

The DCUniverse version censored Dr. Psycho as well, it’s the only censorship I believe they’ve had. |
